Richart Tilden's widow remarried in Pennsylvania 27 Apr 1763 to John Bell, friend of Richard for whom Richard's son was named. --JET
The 1782 Frederick Co., Va. Tax List of Elisha Williams (also an ancestor through the Carson line) includes the names:
Ann Bell, 8 whites 10 blacks
George Bell, 4 whites 1 black
John Bell, 2 whites 1 black
Thus it appears that Ann Bell was then a widow for the second time and had [preceded her son, John Bell Tilden, said to have come to Frederick Co. in 1791 or later. It is reasonable to believe John and George were her sons, living apart but nearby. She must have had several other children and/ or had several relatives in her household, and a substantial acreage to justify a holding of 10 blacks. Also in Capt Williams' list was Wm. McCloud (sic) with 5 whites, 0 blacks --- JET
Date of death taken from Gravestone Inscriptions Book IV: Winchester-Frederick County. Graveyard no. 15: Old Methodist Cemetery on west side of Main Street, Stephens City, Va. p. 31 age is listed as 88 years.
