Biographical Description

Captain Bell is possibly identified as Green Bell, who served as a captain in the Edgecombe County Regiment of the North Carolina Militia. Aside from a sworn deposition from William Skiles, there is no other information tying anyone by the last name of Bell to the Gourd Patch Conspiracy. Green Bell was a captain of a nearby militia, but it seems unlikely that a captain would have been involved in the plot, even a resigned one as Green Bell was, because one aspect of the plot was that conspirators were meant to avoid the military draft.
