Notes:

Research Notes:
Gilbert is probably the son who was informant on his father's D.C. in 1959 in Smithville. However, the signature is J.A. Bell, Jr.
Census records are clearly "Gilbert." And she stated in 1910 census she had 2 sons born and 2 living. No additional children in 1920, and by 1930, she was deceased and Jefferson Albert living alone. If J.A. Jr. is a seperate individual, he woud just about have to be born after 1930 to a different mother. No further record has been found of Gilbert and no records found of a Jr., with the exception of the person who signed off on the D.C. in 1959.
