Notes:
JOHN UNDERWOOD, farmer, Pimento, was born in Richmond county, North Carolina, in November 1803, and when about twenty-three years old moved to Mississippi and there resided nine years. During his long life he has engaged entirely in farming; in fact, he has been a plow-boy since 1812. April 30, 1841, he moved to Vigo county, locating in Linton township, where he has lived since. At the close of the war he returned to North Carolina on a visit, and brought his aged mother back to Indiana with him. In December, 1826, he married, in North Carolina, Miss Louisa KENNIHORN, who is a native of Virginia, and has had a family of eleven children, only one of whom is now alive, Richard, who was born in this township, October 25, 1844. The youngest daughter died March 30, 1880. He owns over 100 acres of land, and has given a good deal of real estate away to his children, and has obtained all his property by his own hard work and energy. He is a prominent member of the Honey Creek Old Baptist church, and has been connected with that congregation for many years. In politics he is strongly republican.

BELL A Thomas Bell owned a square mile of land next to Col. William
Eaton in Granville County in 1754. His son Samuel Bell enlisted there in
1761. There was a Samuel Bell whose Revolutionary War Service reported
that he was born in Surry County, Virginia in 1749. He lived in Sampson
County, N.C. from 1782 to 1807 and lived in Robeson from about 1807 until
1832. John Bell, listed as white in Capt. Abram Barnes' district of south
Robeson and probably Lumbee, appeared in the 1776 and 1786 tax lists of
Bladen and in 1786 was listed with a wife and daughter. The Bell name
appears in Robeson records of 1780 and 1784 and in Sampson County in
1790. Robeson grantee and grantor deeds show John Bell with 200 acres on
Turkey Branch in 1787 and 10 acres additional in 1789. John Bell left a will
dated 1788 (Will Book I, 16). Mary Bell left a will dated 1804 (Will Book I,
88). Cheraw County, S.C. had William, Frederickson, Levi, Thomas and
William Bell with land grants between 1785 and 1797 (Royal Land Grants,
-/0-
Craven, Cheraw and Chesterfield Counties, C.C.). Some Bells in the 1850
Robeson census reported being born in Robeson by 1800. Mary Bell had 50
acres on Bridge Branch in 1803 and 150 acres on Hogg Swamp in 1808.
Samuel Bell had 223 acres south of Ten Mile Swamp in 1807. This tract
went from Samuel to Hardy H. Bell in 1819. Hardy H. Bell (1790-1866), a
powerful landowner and Lumberton storeowner who married Sarah Parker
c1820, had eighteen deeds on Ten Mile, the Stage Road, Saddletree Swamp,
Great Marsh and along the Lumber River filed between 1840 and 1865. The
surname was listed in S1. Pauls Township in 1880. Bell was self-identified as
Indian in the 1900 Census of Robeson and listed on the 1900 Indian
Schedule. The Directory of Robeson County, 1900, lists the "Croatan" name
of Bell in the Rozier community The name was listed as Indian in the 1930
census of Pembroke Township. Death records of Robeson of 1916 and 1936
show the Indian name Bell as primarily in Saddletree but a numerous name
allover Robeson, in Lumberton, Lumber Bridge, Pembroke, Saddletree and
Union townships. Cited at Bethel Hill Church cemetery and numerous other
locations by Jane Blanks Barnhill, Sacred Grounds, 2007, a listing of 162
Lumbee cemeteries in Robeson County. Those named Bell were attending
Pembroke State College by the 1940s. The name Bell is not found in any
other tri-racial isolate groups (DeMarce, 1992).
