John Bell testified in suit in Surry County, Va. on July 9, 1705 that he was 37 years old. John Bell apparently moved from Isle of Wight County to 135 acres of land in Surry County on Spring Swamp a few miles NE of current Jarrat, Virginia which was given to his wife Ann Bennett by her grandfather. After his death his lands were repatented by his son John in 1723.

Died intestate in 1713 and an inventory of his estate was filed by Ann, his wife, as administratix.

Since John Bell is not mentioned in the will of Thomas Bell, and as I am unable to find any information confirming that he is the son of Thomas Bell and since John Bell and his lineage are well established in Surry County Virginia I conclude that John Bell was not the son of Thomas Bell. There was a Richard Bell who was a large land owner along the north side of the James River in 1637 and afterward who may have been the father of John Bell but this is not proven. At this time I begin the Bell family with John Bell of Surry County Virginia and follow it to Hannah Bell who married Lemuel Burkitt.

The first one of the name from whom the Surry family descends is John Bell who was born in 1668. He testified in a law suit in Surry, July 9, 1705, that he was 37 years old. John Bell married Ann Bennett, daughter of Richard Bennett, Jr., of Isle of Wight. On August 30, 1694, Richard Bennett, Sr, of Isle of Wight, made a deed of gift to Ann Bell "the now wife of John Bell, lately Ann Bennett, daughter of Richard Bennett, Jr., Isle of Wight" (Surry W. & D. Bk. 1693-1707). John Bell died intestate in 1713 and an inventory of his estate was filed by Ann, his wife, as administratrix. [From Bell of Surry].

Bell, John, Sr John Bell was born in 1668 in Of, Surry, VA. He died in 1713 in ,VA. He married Ann Bennett in 1694 in Of, Surry, VA. Ann Bennett [Parents] 1.Ann married 2 John Bell in 1694 in Of, Surry, VA. They had the following children:

M i Benjamin Bell M ii Joseph Bell 1 died 2 in 1733 in ,Surry, VA. M iii John Bell M iv Richard BellJohn Bell (1669 - 1713) Born in James City, Virginia, USA on 1669. John married Ann Bennett and had 6 children. He passed away on 17 Jun 1713 in Henrico Probate, Virginia, USA.//John Bell was born 1668 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, and died Abt. 1713 in Surry County, Virginia. He was married to Anne Bennett bef. 1694, daughter of Richard Bennett and Henriette Neale. She was born Abt. 1678 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, and died Abt. 1736 in Surry County, Virginia.

Tracking the Bells, I see what I believe is a substitution in the children of John Bell, born 1668. I believe he had no son named Joseph, but did have a daughter named Charity, 1687 - 1729.

John Bell's son, Richard, born 1700 in Surrey, VA, had a son named Joseph.

A family member, who has been tracking the family for half a century, has come up with this:

Name: John Bell Birth: 1668 Surry, Virginia, United States Death: 1713 (45 years) Surry, Virginia, United States

Father: Richard Bell Mother: Sarah UNKNOWN

Spouse: Ann Bennett Marriage: Aug 30 1694 Surry, Virginia, United States Children: Charity Bell 1687 - 1729 John Bell 1696 - 1746 Rebecca Bell b.1696 Richard Bell 1700 - 1734 Benjamin Bell 1702 - 1751 William Bell 1705 - 1725 Thomas Bell 1710 - 1761
