Pleasant, age 63,father Bill Bell, mother Mary Huckeby, charged to Leslie Bell.” Above says J.M. Bell and Monetta Bell were parents of Harold Leon Bell.

Trying to make tie between John H Bell, Leslie Bell, & J.M. Bell. Above says parents were “Bill Bell & Mary Huckaby. “Bill Bell” may be father of J.M. Bell. Family history says name was William Joseph Bell. However, is Mary Huckaby same as my family’s “Mary Massey”??? James Minor Bell lived in Lawrence County in early 1900s. Would appreciate any help.
