A historical and genealogical book that covers more than a millennium of time with many spellings of the Bell family along with a pattern of their European, English, Scottish and Irish migration movements to North America and the West Indies colonies. --- Compiled from the author's repository of computer notes and facts of over one hundred thousand pages covering over fourteen thousand Bells of many spellings. -- They are descendants of Flemish/Normans who became Nobles, Clan Chiefs, Members of Parliament, Members of Congress, Governors, Bishops, Clergymen, Great Merchants, Worshipful Merchants, and Indentured Servants. -- Bell's were active as powerful Speaker of The House of Commons, Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer to the Queen, Virginia Company of London Charter Signers, Fierce Border Reivers, Explorers, Inventors, Colony Settlers, Plantation Owners, Headrights, Soldiers, Military Officers, American Patriots, Transported Undesirables, Slave Owners, and a Presidential Candidate. -- They were ancestors of the present day English Crown. --- This is an attractive and scholarly book whose authors have compiled a timeline of several Bell bloodlines, their many Coat of Arms and other family events from ca. 820 AD to ca. 1800. -- Today many family researchers can often trace their ancestors to ca. 1800, this book may help them to find earlier kinship. --- The unique style of compiling, sequencing, writing and cramming thousands of orderly facts is a first for established family archivists and researchers, yet is easy for beginners to follow. -- Hundreds of other books that list related Bell families after 1800 are referenced. -- The index of about 7000 other than Bell surnames, often related, may be of interest to non Bell researchers.

In the early 1800s John Bell moved his family from North Carolina to the rich bottom lands along the Red River in Robertson County, Tennessee. Bell, an elder in the Red River Baptist Church, was well-liked and respected by most in the community and prospered as a farmer. As Bell worked hard to raise his family and to carve out a living, the unusual, unexpected, and terrifying happened. Between 1817 and 1821 the Bell family were allegedly tormented day and night by some heinous menacing spirit called a "witch" known as "Kate." Kate's remonstrations and activities were witnessed by many in the community. The events eventually led to the death of John Bell, and he is the only person whose demise is attributed to the work of a spirit. Written only seventy-three years after the awful events transpired, this is the story of the Bell Witch. This is the eyewiteness account by a member of the Bell family.
