Thomas B. Bell
Thomas Bell was one of Stephen F. Austin's colonists, having moved to Texas in 1824 although one record has him entering the colony as early as 1822. He was a soldier during the Texas Revolution and received bounty land for participating in the Siege of Bexar. He and his brother James Bell later donated the land upon which the town of Bellville, Texas was built. His will was probated in Austin County, Texas. He formally adopted a grown man who was living in Hamilton County Florida in 1855. This man John G. Slade turned out to be his illegitimate son by a Nancy Slade. Most of Thomas Bell's estate was left to this son who was already married to Penelope Green and had children when he came to Texas to receive his inheritance.

In 1822, Thomas Bell moved to Texas from Florida with his brother James Bell.〔Bellville state historical marker〕 A different Thomas Bell is recorded on 16 August 1824, Felipe Enrique Neri, Baron de Bastrop granted Bell title to a league of land in what is now Brazoria County. As head of a committee in Cedar Lake, he corresponded with Austin on how to deal with the Karankawa Indians in October 1825. The census of 1825 recorded that he was married with three children and made a living farming and raising livestock. A legal document from 1829 noted that his wife's name was Prudencio and his place of habitation as Austin Municipality. Noah Smithwick was a guest at Bell's pole cabin on the San Bernard River in 1835. A Thomas Bell served in Captain John York's volunteer company from September to December 1835, including the Siege of Béxar. Bell may have been the flag bearer at the Battle of Concepción in October 1835. Bell was certainly on a committee that helped write the Goliad Declaration of Independence in December 1835.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Texas State Historical Association )〕
