This is my ancestor. I found this J.R. Bell on the 1910 Texas Census with a granddaughter by the name of Mabel E. Jasper age 10 living with them. When my Grandfather applied for his social security card in 1937 he listed Mollie "Bell" as the maiden name of his mother.

Per the actual record on the 1900 census James Bell was born in 1845. The actual record is difficult to read but the age is 55 and looks like it could be 58, but the same record clearly states born June 1845. I believe James middle name is "Reiligh" per other research I have done.

My grandfather was James Porter Jasper, Sr. and he was possibly a brother to Mabel.
Nancy J "Mary" Bell had 5 children in all according the the 1900 Census and only 3 were currently living.
Nancy J "Mary" Bell had 8 children in all according the the 1910 Census and only 3 were currently living. This follows family history in my family of my grandfather being orphaned and a brother died. Two children were listed with them on the 1880 Census that were not listed after that. The other children could have married between 1880 and 1900 but it doesn't fit with Mary only having 3 living children that are listed in the bio I originally inherited.

James R. Bell married Nancy J. Graham 14 Feb 1875 which matches that they were married 35 years on the 1910 census.

There was no image available on ancestry.com, only a record: source Illinois, County Marriages 1800 - 1940. This means he would have been about 26 when he married.

I am adding many census records here as my sources.

(Per Billie Jasper) Ann Robison could possibly be the mother of Hannah Bell - James Bell's wife.) She was born in Ireland.

Thomas (above) was born in Ireland. Hannah, sister to Thomas,was born in Pennsylvania. This means James and Hannah immigrated from Ireland to the United States between 1842 (after Thomas' birth) and 1846 (when Hannah was born).
