About
Jump to
Thomas Bell was one of Stephen F. Austin's colonists, having moved to Texas in 1824 although one record has him entering the colony as early as 1822. He was a soldier during the Texas Revolution and received bounty land for participating in the Siege of Bexar. He and his brother James Bell later donated the land upon which the town of Bellville, Texas was built. His will was probated in Austin County, Texas. He formally adopted a grown man who was living in Hamilton County Florida in 1855. This man John G. Slade turned out to be his illegitimate son by a Nancy Slade. Most of Thomas Bell's estate was left to this son who was already married to Penelope Green and had children when he came to Texas to receive his inheritance.
