• Notes

  Married: According to Rev. John W.A. Elliott's Ledger Book, Anne Elliott the only daughter was much petted and was not deprived of anything that would be to her comfort. It was the custom of young ladies to practice the riding on horseback. She became very expert on the saddle, and frequently visited her mother's relations in Northampton. She was handsome. Her feats of horse riding procured quite a sensation on the young fellows whom she met, so that quite a rivalry for the gay young damsel arose. Finally a Mr. Bell gained the suite, and they were married. Wedding parties went the rounds, dancing was very fashionable at these early times. After through with their parties the wife wished to settle in the neighborhood of her father and bought and situated themselves on Machipongo, built the house now known as Thomas H. Bell's, one of the descendants. Their family was large and a large descent, many of the great-grandchildren yet remain.
