WILLIAM FIDLER

Recorded 1 Nov 1819 Bullitt Co. KY Court

I do not have anything more on the origins of Patrick COYLE - Delilah was his second 
wife and my notes say she was the widow of Reuben STRINGER when Patrick married her 
and a daughter of William Robey OWEN.  Is this correct?

I think that the daughter Polly COYLE married Asa BELL 2 Dec 1819 in Bullitt Co. KY - 
I have seen that marriage transcribed as Dolly but  think that is a mistake  (have 
never seen the origina) .  

I sure wish I knew more about Asa BELL.  He was probably born before 1800 and Asa HALL 
did not marry Catherine BELL till 1806 so if he was named after Asa Hall then there 
was some reason to name him that BEFORE the Hall/Bell marriage.
 
Asa Bell is shown on the tax lists as living  on McCullocks Run with the Halls, 
Stringers etc.  I think he fits with Robert BELL and Samuel BELL (who married Mary 
CHISELDINE) who were on Floyds Fork but I sure haven't found anything that strings 
them all together or tells where they came from etc.
