There's no explanation in his About section as to why his surname is Bell instead of Teas. ?

Thanks for any clarification.

Fields are locked. Curator or the person that locked the fields will have to fix anything.

I don’t see anything in the revisions tabs to explain the error. Other trees have his parents as James "south River" Bell (1718 - 1787) & Sarah Agnes Grace Bell (born Grace) 1720 - ?. Take a look for them on Geni.

If we look at this merge and unresolved data conflicts. It looks like Sarah Grace & James Bell got Borged into the Teas after Nov 2014, and so far I cannot liberate them.

Son ofJames Bell and Sarah (Grace) Bell

Husband ofMary (Hemings) Bell

Father ofRobert Washington Bell and Sally Jefferson (Bell) Scott

Brother ofDorcas (Bell) Love

Recreated James Bell, Sr., of “South River” & Sarah Grace Bell “They did not approve of the marriage of Dorcas Love & 1st Sgt. Samuel Love

Her children are mostly missing.

This Colonel Thomas Bell who married Mary Hemings, as in Thomas Jefferson’s daughter, would have had nothing to do with the Scotch Irish Augusta County Bells! He was a wealthy merchant & planter class. I don’t see his parents or siblings, it would take some digging by someone. For some reason (ahem) doesn’t seem to be readily available information.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bell-2528 Has him as a “South River”. If anyone here buys it, convince me.

A reference to continue disambiguation of Bell families.
