Biographical History
The African American Bell family of Charleston, S.C. were descended from Sally (Sarah) Johnson, the matriarch of a free family of color who purchased 2 Green Street, (built c. 1820) in c. 1844. In 1912, the property was willed to Hiram L. Bell (d. 1952), a son of Jesse Miles DeReef and Holten L. Bell. Hiram married Louise Purvis. They had two sons, Hiram Lewis Bell, Jr., called "Lewis" and James A. Bell, called "Jim."
