Can anyone identify Millard Powers BELL? Millard P. Bell was born in Lancaster Co., Pa., in 1814, supposedly the son of John and Margaret Bell. Some years later, his family removed to eastern New York, where Millard married Margaret ___. They had a daughter, Melissa, born in Portland, Maine, ca. 1837. Millard was a lumberman. By 1840, Millard and Margaret moved to Milton, Trumbull Co., Ohio. By 1850 they were living in Defiance, Defiance Co., Ohio, where they were the parents of: Melissa, Demetrius, Caroline, Metcalf, V.S., and Anna. Around 1859, Millard apparently abandoned this family, leaving for the west. He wound up in Salt Lake City, where he re-married to Harriet Husbands and began a second family. He died in Salt Lake in 1868. Seeking info on Millard, his ancestry, his first wife (Margaret), or children of his family in Ohio.
