The first record for Adeline is her marriage to Tyrus Bell on 5 March 1829 in Madison County, Alabama. Next we find a Federal Census record for Tyrus Bell in the 1830 living in Madison County, Alabama. Living with Tyrus Bell is one male under age 5 (believed to be William Bell) and one female aged 15 to 19, which would be Adeline (Cloud) Bell. They have three slaves living with them. Living next door is Adeline's father, William, and her younger siblings. It is assumed her mother has passed away prior to 1830 as there is no female of her mother's age range living with William. There are also two more Bell families living on the other side of William Cloud, Francis Bell and Isham Bell. It is believed that Francis Bell is the father of Tyrus.
We still find the family in Madison County, Alabama in the 1840 Federal Census. In this census they have one male under age 5 (believed to be Asa Wilson Bell), one male age 5 to 9 (Joshua Bell) and one male age 10 to 14 (William Bell). There is one female under age 5 (Susan Bell) and one age 5 to 9 (Sarah Bell). They now have 16 slaves living with them in 1840.
There is a Tyrus Bell found in the 1845 State Census in Noxubee County, Mississippi. So it is believed the family moved to Noxubee County before 1845. The family is found in the 1850 Federal Census living in Noxubee County, Mississippi.
