General Notes: Husband - [Father] Bell

---

The name of Bell was borne by many of the inhabitants of the provinces of New England as early as 1643, while in New York before 1680 and in the county of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, about 1682, it was not uncommon. The greatest number of the name who came to America were from Edinburgh, Linlithgow, Jedburg, Paisley, and Glasgow, in Scotland, some from northern England and southern Ireland, many from the counties of Londonderry and Antrim, in northern Ireland, where they resided probably less than a generation after leaving Scotland. A member of that family, in the north of Ireland, who left among his descendants the Maryland Bells, immigrated to New York and settled, about 1710, in Chester County, Pennsylvania, at which time Philadelphia, Bucks, and Chester were the only counties in the province until the establishment of Lancaster from part of Chester in 1729. It is likely that he was the ancestor of the branch found in Northumberland County.
