That the John Bell in this suit is the same John Bell who was a son of William Bell and brother-in- law of William Golding is indicated by the Answer of Henry Wayland in the same suit, which states that certain land formerly owned by William Bell had descended to John Bell and Wm. Golding upon the death of Wm. Bell. !SPOUSE (first name): Answer of Elizabeth Bell in the above- cited lawsuit (stating that Elizabeth is widow of John Bell, and thus claims an interest in the subject land). | ||||||||||||||||||||
