A thought about his wife's name. Many family trees on Ancestry have her name as Nancy Arvella, but other than her 1889 marriage record and her grave marker that have her name as Nancy A., there is no record stating her middle name was Arvella. Her name was recorded as either Nancy, Nancy B., Nancy Bell or N. Bell. It seems more likely the middle initial A stood for Arbella, Arabella or Arabelle and was shortened to just Bell.
