"That truth should be silent I had almost forgot"--Enobarbus in ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, back in Rome after having been too long in Egypt.--------- Melville's PIERRE, Book 4, chapter 5: "Something ever comes of all persistent inquiry; we are not so continually curious for nothing."

Martha Izora Henderson Bell and Isaac Franklin Bell
Thanks to the Social Network and Internet First Cousin Once Removed Paula B., at the age of 75 I get to see for the first time a picture of my Bell great grandparents. Martha Izora Henderson Bell is a descendant of the young Patriot Ezekiel Henderson and his rough Regulator father, Argulus Hercules Bell, and Isaac Franklin Bell is a descendant of Thomas Bell, who was at King's Mountain on the right side along with his father-in-law Robert Ewart and more than half a dozen uncles and cousins--a clan making up a sizable portion of the local fighters who joined with the Overmountain men.
