I found your family page through my ancestry research i've been doing. Your site gave me a WEALTH of information. My great great grandmother was Willie A. Bell Thornton Gates, sister to Mamie Iva Bell Bearden! I have some of the exact same actual photos of Iva, John Cleveland and Milton Bell that my dad inherited when his mother passed away. I bookmarked your page and would like to use the information you have in my family tree I'm building. Again, I really enjoyed reading all of the history of the Bell's down to Willie Wilson. I actually have a couple of photographs of her with my great great grandmother Laura C. Bearden Lutrell and aunt Ophelia Bearden Lutrell as she was visiting "Mammy's" home. My maiden name is mills, my grandmother was John Berlin (Burl) Lutrell's daughter. Burl was the son of Jim and Laura Bearden Lutrell. My grandmother's mom was Elma Thornton Lutrell, daughter of Willie A. Bell and Guy Thornton (her 1st hubby).

I really loved seeing your web site. Love the family's pictures.
Looks like we are together until John Swan, since my Granny, Flora Ethel
Wilson, of WP West is the daugher of John Adam.
I have some very old news articles and pictures I hope we can identify.
I feel blessed to have been given your name.
