Thomas was the son of Thomas Bell, Sr. and Martha "Betsy" Pegram, both of North Carolina. Judith and Thomas married before they left Warren Co., North Carolina. They traveled in a wagon train that included several well known names whose descendants now live in the general area where many of these pioneers settled. There were the Walkers, Harrises, Shearins, Williams, Bells and others.

Note from Jim Long, a great researcher in Tennessee who is descended from Cynthia (Bell) Gupton, daughter of Thomas (4) and Judith (Shearon) Bell, includes the following:

Thomas (3) and Martha (Pegram) Bell had at least 1 child, a son named (of course) Thomas (4), who lived from October 10, 1788 to January 13, 1867. They moved to Montgomery County about 1812. His was the only known tombstone at the Thomas Bell Cemetery in the Cheap Hill community of Cheatham County. The cemetery was destroyed by a bulldozer in the late 1960s, and the tombstone was lost. An extant photograph of the stone showed the dates quoted for him above.

Thomas married Judith Shearin on 12 Dec 1809 in Warren Co., North Carolina. Judith was born about 1789 in Warren Co., North Carolina. She died on 6 Oct 1841 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee.

Judith Shearin Bell died in 1841 in Robertson Co., Tennessee, after giving birth to seven children. Thomas Bell remarried to Mrs. Sarah M. Traux in 1846 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee. She was 29 and he was 57..

Two different sources give two different places of death for Judith. Jim Long, Shearin Family Researcher, lists her as dying in Montgomery Co., Tennessee while 20th Century Shearins, by Tom Cantrell, lists her death as being in Robertson Co., Tennessee, which later became Cheatham Co. The two sources do agree on the date of death.

Descendants in Tennessee have long understood that Mary Baker Pegram was the wife of William Scott and we have no reason to question this. However, it is obvious that she could not have been the mother of his older children. Based on the birth dates of the known children of William Scott, it would appear that there is a time span between the birth of Thomas Scott in 1779 and John T. Scott in 1787. It is very probable that his first wife died between 1779 and 1787 and that he married Mary Baker Pegram during this period.
