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.
