Bell 1½ League Map 1879 The General Land Office of the State of TexasAs a member of Stephen F. Austin’s Original 300 Families Josiah H. Bell brought hisfamily to Brazoria County in 1824 receiving 1½ leagues of land on the west side of the BrazosRiver. At a point on the river which was navigable from the Gulf of Mexico he laid out the townsof Marion and Columbia. He built his cotton plantation just south of Columbia. After his death in1838, his sons Thaddeus C. and James H. Bell would develop the property into a sugar plantationof 1000 acres for several years into the 1850’s. John W. Brooks, a local merchant, bought theplantation in 1855 continuing to produce sugar upgrading his mill to steam power. Brooks soldthe plantation to William A. Rose, who brought his family and a larger slave force from Virginiain 1859. Controlling the plantation through the Civil War William A. Rose died in late 1865. Hisson-in-law Samuel A. Masters bought the plantation from the Rose estate holding it for only acouple of years. The Dance brothers, James H., George P., and David E. acquired the property inthe mid 1880’s. They built a home for their widowed sister, Elouise Della Dance Winstead, onthe site of the Bell home. After the turn of the century the daughter of Elouise, Zula EllaWinstead Loggins and her husband Reuben Burch Loggins became the owners. After severalgenerations Reuben “Bubby” Burch Loggins V and his family now reside at the location of theoriginal Josiah H. Bell plantation home.jlsmith1946@sbcglobal.net

3Josiah H. Bell moved to what was to become Brazoria County in January 1824 and madecamp along Bell’s Creek approximately two miles from its entrance into the San Bernard River.Initially Bell was intended to receive one league of land fronting on the Brazos River. Heactually wanted two leagues, which Stephen F. Austin had unofficially agreed to: “I have spoken tothe Baron [de Bastrop] and he has agreed that we will give you two leagues—one back of the one you liveon Keep the above arrangements to yourself.”Josiah H. Bell sent Stephen F. Austin a note with a sketch attached as how he wanted hissecond league laid off west of his first league to the San Bernard River. This sketch also notesthe location of his camp. His note on the sketch: “The 2 league to be laid off on this manner so as to leaveout the branch below the old camp.”5There were concerns that one colonist who would have land stretching all the way fromthe Brazos River to the San Bernard River would have been shown favoritism over his fellowcolonists. Josiah did not receive the full two leagues.August 3, 1824 Stephen F. Austin signed the documents concerning Bell’s solicitation tobe a member of Austin’s 300 Families granting Bell as follows: “admitted as resident of this newColony on account of his good qualities and circumstances, his notorious application to agriculture, rearing of cattle,and industries, in consideration of which; one and one half league of land can be given him”. 6 Josiah H. Bellreceived 1½ leagues of land from the Mexican Government located on the west side of theBrazos River along Varner Creek on August 7, 1824. The deed record described the officialduties of those involved to officially receive and transfer ownership: we put in possession said Josiah H. Bell of said tract, taking him by the hand all overit, telling him in a loud and audible voice that By virtue of the Commission, the powersvested in us and in the name of the Government of the Nation of Mexico we put him inpossession of said tract with all its uses and said Josiah H. Bell in faith of having realand personal possession of said land without opposition whatever, shouted aloud, pulledgrasses, threw stones, planted stakes and went through the other necessary ceremoniesbeing warned of the obligation he is under to cultivate it inside of two years, the termprescribed by law in evidence of which, we signed said Commissioners Baron deBastrop, Empresario Estevan Austin 7By the end of 1824 he established Bell’s Landing near the confluence of Varner Creekwith the Brazos River and built a home for his family on the bank of the river where their nextson James H. Bell was born in 1825. The Brazos River was completely navigable to this pointand proved to be a good location for commercial trade. Though most of the old settlers of thearea preferred the name “Bell’s Landing”, Squire Bell named the area located along the Brazos“Marion” (later named East Columbia).In 1826 at the end of a two mile lane from Bell’s Landing to the prairie Josiah H. Belllaid out the town of Columbia, twenty square blocks, eight lots to the block. Bell moved hisfamily from Marion in 1827 south of Columbia to a magnificent grove of live oaks nearer theprairie about two hundred yards west of the public road to Brazoria building a large dog trothome of logs.5Letter Stephen F.

4Map Courtesy of Brazoria County Historical MuseumAndrew P. McCormick, who married one Josiah H. Bell’s granddaughters, Mary JaneCopes, described the Bell Plantation:“The entrance to the premises was from the north. Directly in front of the dwelling a stile over the lanefence admitted persons. A little further west a pair of bars admitted animals and carriages. The dwelling was about200 yards west of the public road. West of the dwelling, some little distance from it, were the stock lots joined to thelane fence. In one of these were the cribs for corn and the stables for horses. Between these and the house were thenegro quarters, the blacksmith shop, the smoke house and the kitchen. These last were near to each other and thekitchen only a few steps from the west end of the house. South of the house, a little distance to the west of it, andunder the live oaks, stood a large single room log house, called the office. The dwelling was a double log house ofthe style very much used in all the early settlements in the United States. Two log rooms, set in line with each othereast and west, twelve or fifteen feet apart, with a roof extending over both of these rooms and the intervening space,with wide sheds on each side, the whole floored throughout, and a room enclosed with weatherboards on each end ofeach of these shed annexes, thus making six rooms and a very large hall, besides such lot room as might be needed.The hall in this house was used as a dining hall and as a reception hall, except on a few days in the year when theweather was too cool. Just in front of this house, which looked towards the lane (north side) parallel with it, stood arow of very large fig trees, bearing medium sized blue figs—the largest trees of that kind and the best fruit of thatvariety I have ever known. Between this row of fig trees and the lane there was on each side of the walk leading tothe entrance gate (stile), a space of about an acre dotted with trees that had been planted, not in rows, or squares, orcircles, but with a careful studied relation to each other, embracing walnut trees in bearing, catalpas, Otahutemulberries, black locust and common Chinas. South of the house and about 200 feet from it, several acres wereseparately enclosed with a very tall and close fence, made of split cedar pickets. This enclosure was an orchard,flower garden and fancy garden vegetable garden combined. Here were growing quince trees, which boreabundantly; pomegranates, many choice varieties of plums and the grafted and budded peach. Here also was a greatwealth of flowers of charming figure, hue and fragrance. The vegetables were of great variety, profusion andperfection. Between this garden and the house, to the west of the house, there were a number of large wide spreadingfig trees that bore yellow figs. There were also some flowering shrubs, altheas, crape myrtles and such like, but noflowers or other plants that could not hold their own against the tread of the concourse of strangers and pioneers whothronged these premises. A skillful European gardener was employed to dress the fruit trees and flowers in thegarden, and to direct the other work therein. Where the treading or the shade was not too intense, they yard wascovered with Bermuda grass. To the southeast of the house there was left an open space, clear of trees, where abetter house was to be built when proper material and workmen could be obtained.jlsmith1946@sbcglobal.netJanuary-February 2013
5The relative situation of the fields to the dwelling house and to each other were the same, though each ofthe fields had been enlarged from time to time, as he added to his force of slaves. There were two main fields; theone extending north from the dwelling towards the prairie, called the prairie field, though little, if any of it wasprairie land; the other extending south, and called the lower field. Both these were west of the public road fromVelasco through Brazoria and Columbia to San Felipe, which ran along the east fence of both, throughout the lengthof each, in a course nearly north and south. These fields were separated from each other only by an open lane,running at right angles to the public road, and about one hundred yards north of the dwelling. There was a third fieldeast of the public road and north of the line of the lane which separated the other two. This field was called the ginfield, because in the southwest corner of it stood the cotton gin house. It was separated from the prairie field by awide open lane, out of which, except in a narrow track for the public road All of these fields were enclosed by theold style split-rail worm fences, staked and ridered all round the prairie field, and where the fences of the other fieldswere along the lane or public road ”8Modified Map Courtesy of Brazoria County Historical Museum 1983.010c.00058McCormick, Andrew Phelps, Scotch–Irish in Ireland and America, Private Publishing, New Orleans, Louisiana,1897, pp. 112-115.jlsmith1946@sbcglobal.netJanuary-February 2013
6The Bell home was often the lodging for many travelers and it was Josiah H. Bell’s officethat was Sam Houston’s accommodations during the First Congress of the Republic of Texas atColumbia in the fall of 1836.Squire Bell, as he was known to his neighbors, in the summer of 1837 went with hischildren, Lucinda, Thaddeus, and James to put them in school in Kentucky. Lucinda went to St.Catherine’s Convent near Bardstown, and his sons to St. Joseph’s College. (Sons Samuel M. andWilliam W. Bell had died of cholera in 1833)Josiah H. Bell died May 17, 1838; being buried in the family graveyard near his homewith two of his children. Madam Bell went to Kentucky and in the fall of 1838 returned to Texaswith her children. Elizabeth Lucinda Bell married James Wilson Copes in April 1839.Josiah H. Bell’s estate was appraised at 147,646. It included 25 slaves, 14,420 acres ofland, several lots in Columbia, 250 head of cattle, 6 mules, 3 yoke of oxen, and 1 fine mare.In his will Josiah H. Bell left his estate to his wife Mary and his children, entrusting herwith the education of the children. Special instructions were left for his children concerning hisfeelings toward the federal authority: “ I recommend to my Children never to apply to the law for itsdecision in any case through life but to settle their differences should any arise through the medium of arbitrators butmore particularly in the settlement of my Estate ” He also stipulated that “ it is my will that the servant GirlMelindy remain with my wife during the life time of the latter and that after the death of her Mistress should sheMelindy be the longest liver to belong to my daughter E.

Bell attended Centre College, Danville, Kentucky until the fall of 1840.Returning home he took charge of his mother’s plantation operations till the distribution of hisfather’s estate in 1849. August 1847 he married Elizabeth Hodge Cayce.Madam Bell built a new dwelling house on the spot reserved for it. This new house wasin process of erection for a considerable time, as suitable material and skilled workmen were stillscarce, and was not ready for occupancy until 1841. Then the old house was torn to pieces andremoved.10It was not until February 1849 that Josiah H. Bell’s estate was divided among his wifeand his three children living at that time. Mary M. Bell, even though she was entitled to one halfof her husband’s estate, was willing to “waive and renounce” her half portion in lieu of receivingone half the proceeds from the sale of the plantation, 10 slaves, 1/3 of all mules, horses, and farmequipment, ¼ of all cattle, several lots in the town of Columbia, and the upper half of 1300 acresjust below the town of East Columbia on the Brazos River in the Josiah H. Bell League. Sheestablished herself in a quiet home at the foot of the “Island” between the prongs of Bell’s Creek,about one mile west of West Columbia.Elizabeth L. Copes and her husband had already received 500 and 343 acres from theestate. They additionally received the lower half of the 1300 acres on the Brazos River, 9 slaves,¼ cattle, and a lot in East Columbia on which a cotton press was situated.9Josiah H.
