According to information I received from a descendant of Jesse's second family, Leander Bell was one of Jesse and Lacy Jane (Mitchell) Trantham's sons.
Leander had several siblings:Martha N., Hardiman Peach, Bethana, Monroe Whitfield, Needham Carroll, and Temperance Valentine.In addition he had several half-brothers and sisters from Jesse's first marriage to Sarah (Sally) Holiday including Hiram, Maria, Tabitha C., J. Thomas and Robert Floyd (my husband's ancestor).
Jesse's father was Martin Trantham; however not the Martin you mentioned who was married to Amelia Nicholson.Those two Martins were half brothers.Their father, who was also named Martin, married two times.He and each of his wives (Anne Pickens and Ann Shattock) named one of their sons Martin.
To complicate matters even more, in the two preceding generations the father was named Martin.
