*JOHN LINDSEY BELL, SR.,<\/strong> his second wife: LULA ROSE BELL and their son:<\/p>\n

JAMES THOMAS BELL were first buried in a family graveyard, between two<\/p>\n

barns, on John Lindsey Bell Sr.\u2019s last farm, off Highway #43, between<\/p>\n

Dortches and Benvenue, Edgecombe County, NC until 1996, when the efforts<\/p>\n

of his grandson RAYMOND BELL negotiated with the land owners to have<\/p>\n

their remains reinterned to The Ricks-Bell Graveyard, about a mile east<\/p>\n

of the intersection of Old Carriage Road and Oak Level Road in Oak Level<\/p>\n

Township, Nash County, NC, on the south side of Oak Level Road.<\/p>\n

t. JAMES HENRY BELL, SR<\/strong>. was born in Nahunta Township, Wayne County, NC<\/p>\n

in 1828, in a part of the township that became Black Creek Township,<\/p>\n

Wilson County, NC when the latter was created in 1855. In the United<\/p>\n

States Census of 1860, he is identified as living in Black Creek Township,<\/p>\n

Wilson County, North Carolina. On the afternoon, of May 3, 1864, in the<\/p>\n

Battle of the Wilderness, he was wounded in the right arm, transported<\/p>\n

to Lynchburg, Virginia for medical treatment, as were most of the<\/p>\n

Confederate men injuried in the battle, and died from complications on<\/p>\n

May 24, 1864. He is buried in Confederate Burial Ground in the Old<\/p>\n

Cemetery, next to where the hospital stood in Lynchburg, Virginia.<\/p>\n

For our family, hallowed ground indeed!<\/p>\n

o. LUCINDA EVANS<\/strong> was born in Edgecombe County, NC in 1827, in a section<\/p>\n

that became Black Creek Township in Wilson County, NC when that county<\/p>\n

was created in 1855 from parts of Wayne, Nash, Johnston and Edgecombe<\/p>\n

Counties, NC.<\/p>\n

z. Born 24 February 1852, DELLA JOSEPHINE AYCOCK<\/strong> was never listed, in<\/p>\n

the United States Census Records from 1860 to 1880, as living with her<\/p>\n

father, JESSE AYCOCK and his second wife MARY PIKE AYCOCK. In fact,<\/p>\n

after her mother EDITH AYCOCK dies in 1854, she appears, as an eight<\/p>\n

year old girl, in the 1860 Census living in Nahunta Township, Wayne<\/p>\n

County, NC and her father JESSE AYCOCK has moved to Black Creek Township<\/p>\n

in Wilson County, NC with his second wife. Thus, even at seven years<\/p>\n

old in 1860 she lives with J. L. Barnes in Wayne County, NC; appears in<\/p>\n

the 1870 census, when she was seventeen, living with Turner Joyner in<\/p>\n

1880, when she is twenty-seven. For whatever reason, DELLA JOSEPHINE AYCOCK never lived in the same house with her father and step-mother.<\/p>\n

x. JESSE AYCOCK was born 24 June 1825 in Nahunta Township, Wayne<\/strong><\/p>\n

County, NC. In the 1850s, he moves to Black Creek Township, Wilson,<\/p>\n

NC with his second wife MARY PIKE. In fact, in the 1860, 1870 and 1880<\/p>\n

censuses, he is listed as living in Black Creek Township, Wilson County,<\/p>\n

North Carolina.<\/p>\n
