FOR several centuries the
chief habitation of the Bells was on the
Scotch border, in both England and Scotland .
From thence they migrated to all parts of the
British Isles and, later, to all parts of the
British Empire and America.
Bells settled in North Ireland as early as
1658, and in the American colonies as early as
1620. They are still coming to America from
Great Britain
In England, Scotland and Ireland the Bells
were armour bearing. The following Bell
families, who received grants of arms and
lands, some of them as far back as the early
part of the sixteenth century, are listed in
