It turns out there was an even earlier “Clements Bell” who died in Boltnaconnell aged 82 in 1845:

____ BELL
   David BELL (c1761-1845)
   Clements BELL (c1763-1845)
      Clements BELL (c1800-1870) m. Jane HERON
         William BELL (c1824-1878) m. (1865) Agnes QUIREY
         Mary Jane BELL m. James ARCHER
         Alexander BELL m. (1862) Elizabeth FULTON
         Clements BELL (d. 1860)
      William Sayers BELL (c1820-?) m. (1847) Elizabeth IRELAND
         John Ireland BELL (c1848-?)
         Clements BELL (c1849-1915)
      Clementina BELL (c1827-1909) m. Samuel SUFFERN
         William SUFFERN
         Sarah SUFFERN
         Mary SUFFERN
         Violet SUFFEN

Clements BELL (c1800-1870) moved to Ballyearl.  His son William BELL named his “uncle” William Sayers BELL as an executor.  However, there is a big age difference, so if I’ve got this right then the first Clements probably had two wives, and may have had a load of other children.

Interestingly, William Sayers Bell said in the 1901 census that he was born “in Belfast”.  Here are a few other Boltnaconnell Bells I haven’t been able to place yet…

William BELL m. ____?
   Joseph BELL (c1802-?), schoolmaster m. (1849) Agnes HAWTHORN

David BELL m. Nancy CATHCART
   Agnes BELL m. (1827) Daniel REA
   Jane BELL m. (1828) Samuel COURTNEY
   David BELL m. (1830) Mary HINDMAN

The last family is from the Killead Presbyterian marriage register.

These are my relatives! 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.

Hi Philip,

The Bells of Carnaughliss are buried at Carmavy Graveyard, located here:

I visited in 2015 and photographed every headstone.  I also have a 1993 survey report.  Unfortunately there are no Magees/McGees or Deans.

I’m afraid I’ve never been to Hannahstown graveyard.

I would be interested in the information about the headstones there. I plan to visit this summer, as I think my great-great-grandfather might well be there: Clements W. Bell (1769-1845).
