Bell was born in Giles County and was married to Mary Alice Keaton. They had two sons James Walter Griggs and Cardwell William Griggs.
According to Bell's death certificate he died from T.B. at 64 years. No birth date. Informant was his son, Bill Griggs.
His father is listed as George Griggs, born in Tennessee, but I believe that's wrong. According to my info, his father was Thomas Henry Griggs. On my grandfather, Cardwell William Griggs, death certificate, my grandmother had his father as James Griggs, so go figure. She did know his mother's name. My grandmother and grandfather were married in 1915 and Bell didn't die for 7 years and my aunt was born in 1916 in Yeager, OK, so it wasn't like they were far apart. I don't know what the answer is.
