Marnette has generously shared some photos and her knowledge of her ancestors William Edward Bell and wife, Martha J. (Jennie) Pearce, of Baltimore, Maryland. 

Martha J. was the daughter of George King Pearce and Rebecca Ann Carter. I have speculated in the database that Rebecca Ann was the daughter of Dennis Carter and Louisa Unknown, but any additional information to verify this link would be greatly appreciated. 

Meanwhile, Mr. Bell worked in an iron foundry in Baltimore, Maryland. Looks like he stayed in great shape! 

Here is a link to all of Marnette’s photos. Thanks so much!
