Depends on the John Belt you are looking for? I have a very old photo from John Thomas Belt, Italian Immigrant, lived in Henry County Illinois, then moved to LaPlata/Macon Missouri and died there in 1900.

Cynthia Haythe provided corrections. Dr. Humphrey BELT (17__, MD - by 1837, Powhatan Co., VA) m. 28 Nov. 1798, Granville Co., NC, Mildred C. FORD. [He's indexed BELL, & she's listed as Mildred E.]

They were of Cumberland Co., VA, in 1810, & Powhatan Co., VA, 1820 & 1830, though indexed BETT in 1830 by Ancestry. Mildred [indexed Milored by Ancestry] was back in Cumberland Co., VA, in 1850, aged 71, with sister Frances P. FORD, 65.

In 1860, Chestnut Grove, Pittsylvania Co., VA, Mildred C. BELT was still 71, with H. S. BELT, 33, & Mollie A., 23. It's possible H. S. was a late-born son but more likely grandson Humphrey Singleton BELT (25 Dec. 1825 - 27 Aug. 1888, Pittsylvania Co.) who m. 18 Oct. 1859, Mary DANIEL (10 Je. 183[7?] - 1 Mar. 1917, S. Boston, VA).

Humphrey S. BELT, b. ca. 1799? Court record shows a Humphrey S. BELT as surety for Benjamin Lloyd BELT in 1851. That couldn't have been Humphrey S., b. 1825, who graduated in 1851 from Hampden-Sydney, later the Medical College of VA, Richmond.

Horace M. BELT (ca. 1801 - 12 Mar. 1832, Cumberland Co., VA). He had received medical degree from U of PA. His & his father's intestate proceedings were administered by Hezekiah FORD, brother of Mildred [Index to Virginia Estates, 1800 - 1865, by Wesley E. PIPPENGER].

Eliza Granville BELT, m. [15/22?] Feb. 1821, Powhatan Co., VA, Richard Archer SWANN & moved to Charleston, now WV [Google "Thomas Belt Swann"].

John S. BELT, d. 6 Sep. 1827, Cumberland Co., VA. He had just received his medical degree from U. of PA.

Benjamin Lloyd BELT, m. 1830, Eleanor SHEPPARD, b. ca. 1810.

Victoria Ann BELT, m. 21 Oct. 1830, Powhatan Co., VA, John R. SWANN.

While I was Googling, I found that the salary of a more recent Humphrey S. BELT was raised from $5625 to $6950, 1 October 1954, Whitlock Branch, Lorillard Tobacco. :-)

I suspect you're looking for Doctor John WRIGHT Belt. My grandmother had a geneological study done to support her claim to the DAR and turned up John WRIGHT Belt who is a descendant of Humphrey Belt. Let me know if you're still looking for more information. I just started putting the tree onto Ancestry.com and will be happy to scan in the document I have and send it to you.

Judge George Gordon Belt, Death 1869, Baltimore Md to Merced, CA

Fireskye1 — 2009-02-08 04:25:42Z

Stockton Daily Independent
Stockton, San Joaquin Co., CA
1-5 JUNE 1869
*************************************
SHOCKING HOMICIDE -- Shortly after 12 o'clock yesterday, Judge George BELT, of Merced county, was shot and killed by Wm. DENNIS, of this city, on Centre street, in front of A.S. JACKSON & Co.'s office. The tidings of the tragedy soon spread extensively throughout the city, and but a short time passed after the sad affair transpired, before a large crowd had assembled at the scene of the homicide, every one manifesting eagerness to see the body, and ascertain, if possible, the cause of the shooting. Various rumors prevailed in regard to the matter, all showing that an old and bitter enmity had [illeg] between the parties for years. As the case will undergo a rigid legal investigation, and not desiring in any manner whatever to bias public sentiment in regard to it, we refrain from giving any of the vague and unsubstantiated rumors prevailing, but await the testimony of those cognizant of the facts in the matter. Coroner Bond soon arrived at the scene and took charge of the remains of Judge BELT. The Coroner, in removing the hand of deceased from his coat pocket found firmly held in its grasp a loaded derringer pistol. On the body was a bowie knife apparently new and a new scabbard. DENNIS, it is claimed, fired the fatal ball from a revolving pistol. The ball entered about 2 inches [illeg] deceased's left ear, severed the spinal column, ranged upwards and is supposed to have lodged in the brain. The remains were removed to the office of the Coroner, on Weber avenue, and the following jury of inquest summoned and sworn:
C.G. [illeg]
M.R. DAGGETT
J.R. SEARS
Patrick TYE
Benjamin CHADSEY
M. STOLL

After examining the body, further investigation was postponed until this morning at 10 o'clock, when witnesses will be examined. Deceased was an old pioneer. He was the [illeg] that [illeg] and established a [illeg] in Stockton, having arrived in 18?8, and located his [illeg] on the corner of El Dorado and Levee streets; there occupying 2 lots given to him by Captain WEBER. Mr. DENNIS has been a resident of this city for many years, and is an extensive property holder. [illeg] sad affair should have occurred is [illeg] deeply deplored by the entire community, [illeg] the cause of much sorrow [illeg] intimate friends of both parties. Mr. DENNIS was arrested by Chief of Police FLETCHER and placed in jail.
--------------------------------------------------------

>>SATURDAY, 5 JUN 1869<<

FUNERAL TODAY -- The remains of Judge G.G. BELT will be interred in the Rural Cemetery this afternoon. The friends and acquaintances of the deceased are invited to attend the funeral at 3 o'clock p.m. from the office of Coroner Bond, on Weber avenue. The body has been placed in a metallic coffin, and those friends who called and could not obtain a sight of the body yesterday, can see the remains today any time before 3 o'clock.

---------------------------------------------------------
CORONER'S INQUEST -- The jury, which had been summoned and sworn and had examined the body of Judge BELT the previous evening, [illeg] at the office of M.H. BOND, County Coroner, yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, when the following testimony was obtained:

LEVI [illeg], sworn: Yesterday (Thursday), about 12 o'clock, Mr. OVERHISER and I were walking by Mr. JACKSON's store; as we were walking past the door going towards Main street, Mr. BELT passed in front of us, angling across the sidewalk, with Mr. JACKSON and another man -- one on each side of him. I saw Mr. DENNIS about 3 or 5 feet to my right and a little ahead of me, on the sidewalk, near some sacks; I saw Mr. DENNIS present a pistol and he pointed it at Mr. BELT and fired it; I saw the deceased fall on the sidewalk, his head a little off the walk; deceased pitched forward on his right side -- his right hand in his pocket and his left across his back; Mr. DENNIS then walked from the sacks towards the deceased, on the south side, within 8 or 10 feet of him; I think at the time he (DENNIS) fired, he said "damn you!" Mr. OVERHISER said to DENNIS, "For God's sake, DENNIS, what are you doing?" or "What do you mean?" Mr. DENNIS then walked off with Mr. NYE; I did not see the deceased stir hand or foot, after he fell; Mr. DENNIS was within 4 or 5 feet of the deceased when he fired, and south and west of him -- a little behind; I do not think Mr. BELT saw DENNIS when DENNIS fired.

WILLIAM WOODS, sworn: Yesterday about 15 minutes past 12 o'clock p.m., I was in Mr. DELL's furniture store, on Centre street, when I heard the report of a pistol; went to the door and saw a man lying on the sidewalk bleeding profusely from a wound on the side of his head, below the left ear; I saw a man that they called DENNIS, standing next to the deceased's head, with a pistol in his right hand, striking his breast, "I am the one that done it," and then said, "I have given him what I promised him;" a short time after he said, "I will go and give myself up;" DENNIS then walked up the street, in company with another man.

JOHN S. [illeg], Sr., sworn: I know the deceased; his name is George Gordon BELT; I have known him about 35 years; he is from Baltimore, Maryland; he has a brother living in Baltimore, named Thomas R. BELT, M.D., and I think his father lives in the same place; his aged is 47 years; he has been residing in Merced county in this State; he has a family residing there; about 12 o'clock yesterday (Thursday, June 3, 1869), Messrs. BELT, McFARLAND and JACKSON were sitting and talking in Mr. JACKSON's store, on Centre street, in this city; I remarked if they would go across the street, they would get a good lunch; in a few moments the 3 started out, passing me and crowding me in the door and against a bale of sacks, Mr. BELT being in the middle -- Mr. JACKSON on 1 side and Mr. McFARLAND on the other; they walking quartering up and across the sidewalk; I saw Mr. DENNIS for the 1st time, on this occasion, walking past and opposite me and quartering and behind the deceased; I saw DENNIS put both hands to his left side and draw a pistol, which he presented at the deceased and fired; I do not think he was over 2 feet from me or the deceased, when he fired; I cannot tell which hand he had the pistol in; I saw Mr. BELT fall; I afterwards saw DENNIS changing the cylinder of his pistol, walk around by the feet of the deceased (or between his feet and the wall), and go on the south side of him; some one spoke at this moment and said, "Who done this?" DENNIS answered, "I did it" then slapped his hand on his breast 2 or 3 times, and said "I am the man that did it."

[illeg] A. JACKSON, sworn: When I came to the office yesterday morning, I found Judge BELT here; after a few minutes' talk [illeg] left the office, [illeg] be back soon; shortly after [illeg] walking up the street, in the [illeg] of the Weber House; when opposite D[illeg] & Black's store, corner of Main and [illeg] streets, Mr. HAMPTON called [illeg] and said that he understood that DENNIS had made some threats through or by in[illeg] and thought Judge BELT ought to be put on his guard; I walked up Main street when near the Odd Fellows' Building, I saw Judge BELT on the sidewalk, and told him, from what I could learn, DENNIS had made some threats; and that probably it would be as well for him to prepare himself, only as a matter of defense if DENNIS should [illeg] him; BELT answered that he did not [illeg] was any danger (or something to that effect), and that he had a Derringer, which I think he said he always carried in his pocket; I then started down Main street, toward my office; Judge BELT remarked, "hold on, I will go with you;" when near the Theater Building, he remarked that he had been having his pistol re-loaded; we then walked down El Dorado street to a gunsmith shop to unload and re-load his pistol; after this, we came out of the gunsmith shop; I went to my office and Judge BELT went up El Dorado street; all of the above took place between the hours of 11 o'clock a.m. and 12; about 15 or 20 minutes afterward, Judge BELT came into my office; we sat down in company with Mr. McFARLAND and talked about matters in general. Mr. BARNEY came in and remarked that there was a good lunch over at Smithson's; I then proposed that we go over and take lunch; we all got up and started, angling across the sidewalk in the direction of the place mentioned; I think McFARLAND was on Judge BELT's right and on his left, BELT being in the center; I happened to look around to my left and saw DENNIS with a pistol in his hand; I think he was 6 or 8 feet from us; almost in an instant I heard the discharge of a pistol, and Judge BELT fell instantly on the sidewalk; I then stepped toward his head, saw the bullet hole under his left ear, and remarked that he was dead; about that time I saw DENNIS on the opposite or upper side of deceased, with a pistol in his hand; some one asked who did that; DENNIS remarked, [large section illeg]

CHIEF OF POLICE W.F. FLETCHER, sworn: Yesterday about noon, Mr. BROWN told me that a man was shot; I saw the crowd on Centre street, in front of Mr. JACKSON's store; Mr. [illeg] told me that "Old man DENNIS has shot a man;" I followed after DENNIS and found him with Mr. NYE; Mr. NYE made the remark that he (DENNIS) was going to give himself up; I stepped up by the side of DENNIS and we went to Judge Brush's office; I then took DENNIS home to dinner; at his home, I asked him for his pistol, when he gave it to me; after dinner, I took him back to the office of Judge Brush; when at the house, DENNIS showed me a letter that he wrote to G.G. BELT; it stated that BELT owed him some money -- I think about $5000, and gave Judge BELT notice to pay the amount by the 1st of April; it stated the [illeg] of several persons that BELT had [illeg] out of their wages or money, and [illeg] had got no such person to deal [illeg]with him; DENNIS told me that it was purely a question or circumstance [illeg] which went first, as BELT had [illeg] against him.

After [illeg] the wound in the neck [illeg] of the deceased, Dr. HUDSON was called and made the following written statement "a pistol ball penetrated the head near the [illeg] of the left ear, [illeg], and then severing the spinal cord, at or near the base of the skull, and [illeg] under the [illeg] of the right side. The course of the ball was a little upward and backward -- nearly an inch from a horizontal line."

The testimony being closed, the jury returned the following verdict:

"We, the jurors summoned to inquire into the cause of the death of George G. BELT, do find that he came to his death on the 3d day of June, A.D. 1869, on Centre street, in the city of Stockton, about 15 minutes after 12 o'clock, noon; and we further find William DENNIS to be the person by whose act the death of the said George G. BELT was occasioned, he having shot said G.G. BELT with a pistol."

MarilynRoth58 — 2009-01-31 20:47:47Z

Sorry, we do not have proof of the maiden name of Elizabeth, wife of the first John BELT of Maryland. She was related in some way to Richard TIDINGS, who made his will 2 Feb. 1687, Anne Arundel Co., MD. The will named John BELT as an overseer, and later land records name cousin John BELT.

George THOMPSON conveyed 375 acres of "Nanjemoy" to Richard TYDINGS of Anne Arundel Co., 2 Oct. 1685. Michael & wf. Charity PASQUINET of Bath Co., NC, 27 Dec. 1726, gave power of attorney to cousin John BELT to sell (their share of) "Nanjemoy." Michael PASQUINET of Bath Co., NC, 12 Feb. 1727, and wf. Charity, daughter and devisee of Richard TYDINGS, conveyed 375 acres to John BELT, Jr., by John BELT, Sr., their attorney.
[Baltimore Co. Deeds, RM:HS:164 / IS:I:36 / IS:I:;61]

We also do not have proof of the maiden name of Lucey, wife of the third John BELT. Her first name is from Quaker Records of Northern Maryland, 1716 - 1800, by Henry C., PEDEN: John BELT & Lucey had Lucey, b. 25 of ninth month 1744; Mary, 30 of fourth mo., 1747; & Joseph, b. 10 of fourth mo. 1750, per records of Gunpowder Monthly Meeting. Normally the Quaker records listed the first month as March, so the ninth month was November and the fourth month June.

Google "Humphrey Belt Plus Five" for further information.

definitive knolwedge of John Belt III md Lucey, John Belt II md Lucy Talbot Lawerence

2512liz — 2009-01-28 03:32:10Z

Does anyone have the final answer to this?

Looking for proof that John Belt III (father of Leonard who married Hannah Parrish) married Lucey (do we know her last name & parents?). John Belt III //1703-1788// is the son of John Belt II //1678-1761// (married Lucey Talbot Lawerence), he is the son of John Belt //1645-1697 or 1698// married to Elizabeth -- last name?

A few years ago there was a lot of discussion and some records but not much clarity. Maybe I missed the answers to these questions.

I have been researching this family and have most of the lines back to the 16oo's. Hannah Rumble is living with her daughter's family in 1870. Scott Jenkins, my grandfather is 10 years old. Thank you for the information from the census.

In 1880 I would love to find out who Isaac Cunninghan, age 78 is. I can't find any relative that is even close.

Hannah's maiden name is spelled Hardin, Harding or Harden, even in the same family. She was a smart lady and had many shady business transactions. She had 2 illigetimate sons that I believe may be the children of Levi Jenkins' grandfather Joseph Jenkins. He gave her property for the boys but they were killed in the Civil War so we didn't know anything about them until she applys for the pension of her deceased son, Joseph.

Hannah Hardin Rumble died at the home of her daughter, Delilah Rumble Jenkins and her son-in-law, Levi Horton Jenkins, on 25 Nov 1874. She is buried in Sugar Valley Cemetery, Valley Point, Preston Co, WV. The records say she was the first buriel at this cemetery. About 10 years ago the stone was hardly readable. Her death record was signed by her son-in-law. He did not give the first names of her parents, only Harding. I have proven her parents from a Civil War application of a niece by marriage, if I can get DAR to accept the documentation.

I just found a death record for my 2nd great grandmother who died in 1874 in Preston Co, WV. The records are found at the WV Archives in Charleston, WV. You didn't give the death date so don't know if this applies.

Hello
I am the County Coordinator for Jennings County, Indiana and am working on transcribing old County record books. I have come across the name Belt/Beltz a number of times while doing this. Names John, Henry and a few others here is an example-dated February 1838-does anyone have a connection to this family as I try to get information for those that may inquire about what is posted on the site.

Sheila Kell

And now comes John H Belt to whom letters of Administration of A Belt deceased have been granted by the Clerk in Vacation and presents his bond together with Samuel Glasgow as his security and after examination and due deliberation and on motion of Alanson Andrews attorney for the widow of said deceased-----and it appearing to the satisfaction of the Court that the said bond is insufficient and that the said John H Belt has proceeded illegally in the affairs of said Estate the Court dissaproves of said and revoke the letters of administration granted to John H Belt in Vacation of this Court and the said administratrix is sworn as such

parentage of Amanda Belt

MarilynRoth58 — 2008-11-03 16:10:43Z

Could the S on James S. have been misread as L? With handwriting, that would be an easy mistake. Perhaps Silas was James Silas, or the transcriber could have mistaken Silas for James. Have you seen the handwritten record? Nancy was a common nickname for Ann, so perhaps it was also a nickname for Angeline.

The 1930 Federal Census lists Edward Belt as being born abt. 1883, in Iowa. He married Maude M., who was born in abt. 1893. Their children were: Sylvia, born abt. 1915, and Goldie, born abt. 1921. Although I found several Samuel Belts, none had a wife Angeline Kenney. I have two Samuels in my family, one from Piqua, Ohio, and another from Lancaster, Ohio. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Edward BELT born 16 May 1882 Iowa

I have posted several times in the past but have
never really found any new info.My Greatgrandfather,
Edward Belt, born 16 May 1882 in Carroll County,Iowa.
According to his SS records, his fathers name was
Samuel Alexander BELT who was apparently born
in Ohio and is mother was Angeline KENNEY who
was apparently born in Indiana.
Edward came to Kansas from Missouri in the early 1910's
and married my Maude Mae NICHOLS.I have quite a few
historical records but nothing that can pinpoint who
Samuel or Angeline was.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Michael

I am starting geneology for my husbands family. I notice there are alot of belts. His comes from the clan in Kansas. Their family too is a decendent of Humphrey Belt 1615 to 1663. Married to Ann and also to Margaret Graggen. They had three children John ann and sara. But then it jumps to Charles Pierce Belt 1852-1942 Married to Martha jane Timmons. Thair children are Franklin D, Harry P, John W, Walter S, Orrie J, Clifton C, and Mattie E. Our family comes down the John Wesley Line. Whos children are Charles Wm, Johnnie martin, Bonnie l, Lawrence F, and James Eugene. I have been looking for a family tree that I can get info for my huge hole. Any info would be great. I have a belt history book from 1988 to the decendents of Charles Pierce and Martha jane. Thank You

Thank you for your input on my problem. I finally did find Amanda Belt Pepper's death certificate. They had added an S at the end of Pepper and it threw me off. They list her parents as Silas Belt and Angeline Morgan of the which I am very thankful. I don't know how many people I would have had to throw out of my family tree. I am still puzzled why her marriage certificate listed her parents as James L & Nancy but the census records also support Silas and Angeline. Again, thanks for the help.

parentage of Amanda Belt

carolynch1 — 2008-10-06 16:34:53Z

I've always thought that Silas Belt and Angeline Morgan were the parents of Amanda Belt (John A Pepper) of Wirt, WV.
On the marriage records of Amanda and John, her parents are listed as James L and Nancy. I am flabbergasted. All the census records list an Amanda living with Silas and Angeline Belt. I have not found her death certificate yet. Any help?

Re: parentage of Amanda Belt

carolynch1 — 2008-11-03 17:27:21Z

Thank you so much for your interest in my problem. Silas' middle initial is B (don't know what it stands for). All of your info looks good to go. The difference between the two documents Amanda's marriage certificate listing her parents as James L and Nancy and her death certificate listing Silas and Angeline is not going to bother me.
I believe that the death certificate is more reliable. I believe the informant on that was her daughter, Mrs R C Pettit. I actually have been to this lady's house when I was a little girl. I'm only 47 now and she was very old then. We don't appreciate moments in time like we should.

Re: parentage of Amanda Belt

carolynch1 — 2008-11-03 19:25:27Z

This is the info from both documents:

John A Pepper-24
Amanda Bell-16
His parents: Abner & Mary A
Her parents: James L & Nancy
Date of Marriage- 11-6-1869 (Wirt Co, WV)

Amanda Peppers
birth-9-28-1853
death-9-2-1933
born in Wirt Co, WV
Parents Silas Belt and Angeline Morgan

When I do the math (subtract her age at her marriage from her date of marriage) it matches the birthdate given on her death certificate. Wirt Co is a very rural area so I doubt that these are two different people.

Thanks for your ideas!
