BELL, TURNER -
I have been searching for my family for many years and always come to the same 'roadblock'--I can't seem to get past my great-great grandfather. His name was Francis Henry Bell and he had a large family of at least 12 children, his wife was Musidora Turner. I do have the 1870 Census listing him as a farmer. Also, the Lowrys' are family and I have them back to John and Abigail in 1797--their home being on the National Historic register. Their son, Elliott was a large property owner evidently and he owned many slaves. I do have some old register pages of his listing the slaves and their names and ages from the late 1700's to 1864. Would anyone be interested in this info?? Someday I hope to come to Bedford and search in person, I would love to see the Lowry home.

I am looking for data from the 1950 census report for the city of Bedford. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. My older sister has cancer and I'm writing a short book for her birthday which is in April. She was born in Bedford in 1952 and I want to include demographic data from the 1950 census to remind her where she came from. Also, at that time, the only hospital was a house located in town where we were both born. You wouldn't have any information about that would you? The name would be fine if that's all you have. Again, thank you in advance.

BAILEY, CLEMENT, JOHNSON, PHILIPS -
I am looking or information on James Johnson and family that migrated from VA to Wilson County, TN, then to Hot Springs county, AR, by 1840. They migrated along with the Philips and Bailey families. My gg- grandfather was Peter F. Johnson, born in TN in 1821 and I am told his father was James Johnson, JR., born in Bedford, Va or Charlotte County, VA. I also descend from Adam Clement's brother, John Clement. Adam was married to Agnes Johnson and I am wondering if she is related to my branch of Johnsons.
