Note: Isabel, born Isabel Ferguson, spent part of her childhood with her stepfather Robert Bell and her mother Anne Woodnut Ferguson Bell, and was called “Isabel Bell” from c1715 until her marriage to Michael King III in Bertie County North Carolina in 1720.

She is the daughter of Anne Woodnut and her first husband, John Ferguson.

She is the step-daughter of Robert Bell.

Michael King (#3) was born in Nansemond County, Virginia to Henry (#1) and Catherine King about 1698. This Michael King lived most of his life in the Bertie Precinct of North Carolina. A more modern and exact location would put his residence near the town of Windsor, North Carolina. Michael King (#3) married Isabel Ferguson Bell (ca.1706- ca. 1780) about 1720. Isabel was the step daughter of Robert Bell and the daughter of Anne Woodnot Ferguson. She was probably born in Essex County in the Colony of Virginia.

There is no other possibility that this person was native due to the down line being enrolled in Meherin Nation, ongoing to present.
