The Bell Witch Haunting is a very well documented haunting case that took place in the 1800's. The story goes that for some reason the witch(sometimes called Kate) hated the head of the family John Bell. She would torture the family with loud noises and even talking and yelling at some points. She pulled the covers off of the children at night and basically tormented that family until John Bell died. The thing that makes this story so believable is that fact that there is so much documented evidence of the story. Not to mention that the whole town knew of the haunting. The witch made herself known to everyone. She would tell secrets of the townspeople and was even known to show up at church and start quoting scripture. She was even reported to have taken credit for killing John Bell and laughed at his funeral. There have been reports that maybe the witch was mad a John Bell because of a dispute over land. The best website for this case is www.bellwitch.org. The man that runs this site, Pat Fitzugh is the leading expert on this case. He is even a distant relative to the family. Check that site out. It will tell you everything you need to know!

I used to live there from 1980-1984.  I live about 60 miles west of Tuscaloosa now in Columbus, Mississippi.  I go every once and a while to do some shopping, but not that often. I remember the day that Bear Bryant died.  I was in second grade I think, and school let out early because of it.  My mom took me to a department store named Wilson's and bought me a box that had ET and Reece's Pieces in it.  Hell of a memory, huh?!

Six people with the surname of RANEW served in the Civil War on the Confederate side.  I belong to Ancestry.com,  but I would have to update to find anymore information than that.  If you are interested go to Ancestry.com.

If your grandfather is still living, ask him as far back as he knows. What year was your great grandfather Holly Lee Ell born? Was he born in Belonzi, MS? If so, call the county clerk and see how far back birth/death/marriage records were kept. If the years are in range, make a visit, if possible, to the courthouse. If not, they will usually do it for a fee. The birth, death, and sometimes marriage certificates have parents' names and places of birth.\n\nAlso you can use the US census data. Sites like ancestry.com are very good for that, as are your local library and the National Archives..

Wow! Shocking dreams, I can understand why you would want to investigate further.\n\nHaving done my fair share of research on the net, I honestly think this type of inquiry is more suited to the local and state Historical Society, newspaper articles (most likely on microfiche) and perhaps trying to identify folks who have lived in the area for a long time.\n\nI'd love to suggest easy online sources, but think this is a job for some good old fashioned sluething.\n\nYou can start here:\n\nColorado Historical Society\nhttp://www.coloradohistory.org/\n\nColorado History Museum\n1300 Broadway\nDenver, Colorado 80203\n303-866-3682\n\nDenver Public Library\nhttp://www.denverlibrary.org/\n\n10 W.

About 1815, John Bell had a property line dispute with Josiah Fort, a nearby neighbor.  About 1816, John Bell had a dispute with Benjamin Batts, another neighbor, regarding the sale of a slave (which ended up in Bell's excommunication from the church).  Kate Batts was only distantly related to Benjamin Batts.\n\nOver the years, the two separate incidents got twisted around, leading to the false theory that Kate Batts and John Bell had a dispute over land, and that she came back from the grave to haunt him.\n\nKate Batts was indeed a real person.  Records put her in Robertson County first around 1815, with her husband, Frederick.  She died in the 1842-43 timeframe, 22-23 years AFTER John Bell died.  She could not have come back from the grave to haunt him.  She had nothing whatsoever to do with the Bell Witch disturbances.\n\nThe "Bell Witch" was not a person; it was a paranormal entity.\n\nPat Fitzhugh, Author / Historian\nThe Bell Witch Web Site\n"Keeping the Story Real"\nhttp://www.bellwitch.org\nhttp://www.myspace.com/the_bell_witch

Google the town they live in along with the word "newspaper".  Maybe you'll  find an online obituary.

Since you know their name and where they live you could probably find them on Yahoo! People Search. It's a pretty reliable source and it's got a lot of information for free and if you find the right person even more information for a little money.\n\nhttp://people.yahoo.com
