Belew Family Genealogy Forum
  
I'm seeking info re Margaret Catherine "Kate" Bellew believed to have come to the U.S. from Ireland with her siblings in the early 1800's. Her brother was John Bellew who settled at Stonewall, Clarke County, MS. He married Delphine and had two children, John and Eliza. He may have been a member of the 17 Battalion Mississippi Cavalry and may have been killed in the war. He may have owned a plantation in the area. Margaret's sister was Elizabeth who married a Hudson. Margaret Catherine had four children: Matilda m. Vogle, Julia m. House, Lucy m. Fairley, and Robert Beauregard Bellew b. 1860 m. 1880 Anne Susan Saucier b. 1863. The family story holds that the father of Margaret's children was Robert Clifton Saffold but we have no confirmation. Margaret and Robert Clifton probably did not marry. The family may have lived in Harrison County, MS and later generations clearly did. Thanks for any info you can share!
