Fort Assumption Chapter DAR, Tennessee. Mid-South Bible Records, 1967. pp. 254-258. #206. (Transcription note: Errors and omissions in the DAR transcription have been preserved. Notable among these are the misspelling of Harmon Shell's name as Herman and Hermon, omission of date in notation of Precious Shell's death, and the blank in the year in the notation of the birth of Melissa Elizabeth Curtiss. Where "7" appears as the date in the notation of John E. Shell's birth, the DAR transcription is almost illegible so there is some probability of inaccuracy on that point. Marriage date between Lemmon and Dorotha Shell bears investigation as this transcription has them marrying after children's birth and seven years after her death. Marthy E. Dugan is listed as Martha E. Shell in Stephen Shell's Bible (#205) and her birthdate there is 3/6/1807. Bible is in possession of Hugh & Vicki Cooper, vrcooper@aol.com as of 1999. --Dan Shell, danshell@bledsoe.net, 1999) **************************************************************** USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by any other organization or persons.
