I too am interested in the Bell family. I have a Robert L. Carroll in my family line. He married Mary Bell. I believe both were from that same area you speak of. Robert was born about 1752 and had the following siblings; brothers
Edward, John, Hamilton, Richard and one sister Jane. The came to the US sometime around ?1775. I do not know when Robert and Mary were married nor do I know either parents names. Can anyone help me please.
Thanks, Becky

Thank-you Robert,

I have some new information from another descendant. Perhaps someone can help me from here.
William Bell - born abt. 1760, Aghnadaragh, Glenavy Parish, Antrim;
- buried 31 May 1845, Glenavy
1st wife: Sarah Peel - born in Ballinderry
- married 23 May 1783, Glenavy
- buried 5 March 1811 Glenavy
2nd wife: Sarah Ingram - born 1789

William also had the siblings:

Nothing is known about the siblings or if there are more and nothing is known about their parents. Sorry Becky ... may or may not be the same family.
Does anybody know what cemeteries there are in Glenavy?
Thanks,

:) Karen,
Do you know if William Bell was Church of Ireland? In St. Aidens Parish Church graveyard, there are a lot of graves for the "Bell" family. I have just started searching Bell, as my GGGrandfather George Ferris married a Sarah Bell, Jan 1856, daughter of Jonathan Bell. Don't have all the connections yet, but might be a connection.

My great-grandfather was Edward Alexander Bell (b. 1824), son of Clements W. Bell (1769-1845). His siblings were William Bell, John Bell and Clementina Bell, I believe. They are from near Dundrod, Crumlin, listed also as Boltnaconnell, Killead Parish, Carnaghliss Townland, Aghnadarragh, in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, which is very near Glenavy. David Bell was the brother of Clements W. Bell, acc. to a census record.
Edward Alexander Bell married Leah Kennedy, whose family lived in Dundrod, Crumlin, acc. to letters from Jane Kennedy in the 1920s. Edward and Leah Bell immigrated to the United States in the 1840s.
I would appreciate any information you might have about the families.

Not sure if this is might be of any help but
John and Alexander Bell had neighbouring properties further north. John was an executor in Edward Magee’s Will made in 1862.
The pdf is a page from the bio I am working up for Edward Magee 1786 - 1863.
It has the GV map listing and a bit of mapping
