    Notes:

    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).
