This is an addition to the original message I posted this morning on Julian & Trogden in 1776:

It appears to be Randolph County. Here is that description of where Mrs
Martha Bell lived.

"She was born and raised in the south side of Orange, or probably of what is
now Alamance county. Some eight or ten years before the Revolutionary
War....she married Col John McGee..." He lived on the waters of Sandy
Creek, in the north side of Randolph County. After the death of her
husband, being the richest widow any where in that region...on the 6th of
May 1779, she married William Bell, a widower, who owned a mill on Deep
River, about a mile above the ford at which the road, now leading from
Greensboro to Asheboro, crosses the river, and there was her residence for
the remainder of her life."
