Daughter of Alexis James and Sarah Jane Thompson of Maryland. She married Joseph B. Bell around 1795, probably in Kentucky. There were at least seven children from their marriage. In about 1833, the family migrated to Missouri.
Family records indicate that she died in 1833, but the 1840 US Census indicates that she was possibly still living with her husband and two daughters at that time. It is thought that her husband was buried next to her in St. Stephens Catholic Cemetery. Records of that time were not compete and a tornado went through that cemetery, which dislocated or destroyed a number of markers. Her husband's marker was found and replaced on his approximate grave by descendants.
