General Notes: Husband - William Bell

---

He was born Shippensburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. [BF, 234]

Bell's Mills: These mills, saw and grist, were erected on Big Sewickley Creek, at Sewickley Presbyterian Church, in 1848, by Walter and William Bell. Walter and William Bell were born near Carlisle, in the Cumberland Valley, and removed with their parents to Derry township in Westmoreland, when Walter was in his third year of age. They were the sons of William Bell, who married Rosanna Bell. The latter was twice married, and both times to William Bells, and she and her two husbands were of no kin. Walter Bell married Polly, daughter of Andrew Finley, Esq., and his brother William married her sister Nancy. Walter Bell came to South Huntingdon township in 1810, in which year he and his brother William, both carpenters, built the house later owned and occupied by Daniel Williams. Their grandfather Bell came from North Ireland about 1740, and settled in the Cumberland Valley, and married a daughter of John Jack.
