Research Notes

Her brother Robert's tombstone states April 4, 1816 - the difference of less than 9 months between his birth and her's is unexplained.
Her tombstone states:
Birth: Feb. 27, 1817
Death: Jan. 3, 1867
Tombstone Inscription:
Consort of J. W., REMEMBER FRIENDS AS YOU PASS BY, AS YOU ARE NOW SO ONCE WAS I, AS I AM NOW SOON YOU MUST BE, PREPARE FOR DEATH AND FOLLOW ME
Note: Double marker with J. W.
NOTE Bell Family has:
"5 Mary Boyd Bell (dau of Hugh) b 2-27-1817 TN, d 1-3-1864 Clarksville, TX, m 1846 John William Ford, b 12-23-1807 TN, d 10-10-1876, lived Clarksville, Red River Co, TX. Show 1860 Lamar Co, TX."
The marriage data, “1846, Clarksville, Red River, Texas” came from an unspecified source and appears to be incorrect.

A birth date (Bell-936 born 27 Feb 1817) should not be within eight months of a sibling's birth date (Bell-937 born 8 Jun 1817) unless they are twins born within a day of each other.
