Lucinda married General John McCutchens Bell, son of Rev. Robert Bell and Grizelda McCutchens. John owned a merchantile store, "Bell and Leland", in partnership with William Washington Leland, who was married to John's niece, Eliza McCutchens Handley in Pontotoc County, Mississippi. John and Lucinda were last found on the 1850 Census in Pontotoc County, Mississippi. John was 58 yrs. old and Lucinda was 50 yrs old. There seems to be no proof of when or where Lucinda and John died , but I have given the place and year that some descendants are saying.

Note: John Bell's father, Rev. Robert Bell, was the first minister of Goshen Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Winchester, Franklin County, Tennessee.
