I am related to this family directly, Elijah Hamilton2 BELL is my
g.g.grandfather, Martha Eliza3 is my g. grandmother.
I do have some corrections and additions to add about my 'branch' of the
family tree. I have copied the section and my corrections and additions
appear below each section.
My mother, Betty Will BELL, was a Georgia Bell (from Spalding County GA),
but I am not sure if those Bells are related to these Mississippi Bells,
the Mississippi Bells are on my father's side.

12. Martha Eliza3 Bell (Elijah Hamilton2, William1 Beall) was born 18 Mar
1853 in Campbell County, Ga., and died 28 May 1887 in Cobb County, Ga..
She married Harrison Kenlock Wiley Childress 12 Mar 1873 in Holly Springs,
Miss.. He was born 09 May 1840 in MS, and died 07 Feb 1907.
Notes for Martha Eliza Bell:
Family Bible listing death of Martha Eliza Bell Childress in 1887, on next
line shows death of Warren Childress July 30, 1887. It is possible this
was also a child of Eliza Bell Childress. She died at age 34 and may have
died from childbirth (birth of Warren).

Notes for Albert Wiley Childress:
-----
Albert Wylie CHILDRESS
-----
Buddy married three times - Martha, Georgia and Irene (no surnames). He
was a Career Army man.
-----
I believe his son, my father, was called 'Buddy' or 'Bud' because he was a
'Jr.' and it was confusing to have two of the same name in the house.
A. W. CHILDRESS Sr. was career army, Capt. in the Cavalry I believe. Only
married twice, second wife was Martha Irene.
