Hi Alison,
Sorry it took me so long to respond to your message. I do appreciate your information. I will share some of what I have on Davis L. and Alcesta Balesis Bell Fanshaw.
In the 1850 Currituck Co., NC. Census Davis is listed with his parents and siblings. This is the Davis who married Alcesta Balesis Bell.
Davis Fanshaw married Alcesta Bell 22 May 1867 in Currituck Co., NC. Alcesta was the daughter of Samuel Ferebee Bell and Emelda Gray. Alcesta was born in rural Duck Hill, Carroll (now Montgomery Co.), MS. I live just a few miles from her place of birth. She had a sister by the name of Mary Etta Cooper Bell. I found some information that Mary Etta married a man by the name of Horton. They had a daughter Annie. That is all I have on Mary Etta.
Samuel and Emelda had another daughter, E. T. Bell who died at birth. Emelda also died at the same time, 23 Nov 1856. After Emelda died Samuel Bell married my great grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth Neal. They had one son, James Stephen Randolph Bell. All lived at Duck Hill,Ms. After Samuel F. Bell died, 4 June 1861 his children by Emelda were taken in by their mother's sister and husband in Carroll Co., Ms. and then later taken to live with family in Currituck Co., NC.
After Davis Fanshaw died, Alcesta Balesis Bell married M. L. Whitehead. I have no information on M. L. Whitehead. I don't know where they are all buried. I would love to know where and the name of the cemetery.
Davis and Alcesta Bell Fanshaw had the following children:
1. Lydia Loueza Fanshaw, b. 21 Jan 1872, married Wilson Sanderlin 15 Jan 1890. They lived in Princess Anne County, VA.
2. Emelda Magdalene Fanshaw, b. 15 Oct 1874. No other info.
3. Walter B. Fanshaw, b. 8 Mar 1877. No other info.
4. Floyd Joseph Fanshaw, b. 5 Apr 1879, died 29 mar 1909 in California i believe.
Lydia Loueza Fanshaw and Wilson Sanderlin were married 15 Jan 1890. Wilson was b. 31 Jan 1863 Currituck Co., NC, d. 13 Jan 1935. He was the son of Wilson Sanderlin, Sr. and Sarah Cowell.
Their children were:
1. Ruth Sanderlin, b. 12 Sep 1872 Virginia, married Thomas A. Pope 12 Sep 1916 probably in Princess Anne County, VA.
2. Robert Wilson Sanderlin, b. 24 Sep 1905.
Info. In 1935 Robert Sanderlin was connected with the A.C.L.R.R. and was making his home at 1754 Blair Ave. Norfolk, Virginia, No children.
I would appricate any iformation on this family. Some of my information came from Descendants of the Ferebee Family by Miss Annie A. Ferebee, Norfolk, Virginia. I found her book in the Currituck County Library last year.
Thank you,
Evelyn Bell Crouch
