Naw, Bell County, Kentucky was formed after the Civil War and was named for one of Kentucky's political figures, Joshua Fry Bell, born 26Nov, 1811 and died 17Aug, 1870. Bell's first and middle name most likely came from the explorer and surveyor Joshua Fry that surveyed wva and kentucky with Peter Jefferson.

;D beale, it is Bell County, TENNESSEE... check out the web-site... thought it was VERY interesting; for SOME strange "reason"... the YEAR 1885, keeps "coming up"; COULD be a "code" or something... DUNNO. (SUNNY out...).

Yep been to Jellico several times and talked with locals about the Silver and there has been some triangle shaped stones found in different areas around Pine Mt. Ha! One old lady's house caught fire and she had a wheelbarrow full of silver coins inside that fused together from the heat! ;D Talked with treasure hunters Michael Paul Hensen and Tommy Veals while there about the area history and they believed the loot is there somewhere! Nice place but are really hurtin for "cooks"!

DUNNO. (SUNNY out...). . All I could find was Bell County, Kentucky formed in 1867 from Harlan and knox County, Kentucky. I have heard of Pineville and Frakes and I have read Steely's book which is almost repetitious in each and every chapter much like Michael Paule Henson saying in eastern Kentucky, tennessee, wva, virginia, pennsylvania. You know they never give an exact location usually a five state radius?

;D OK, I was referring to TENNESSEE, via the "web-site". kyd, glad you have been to Jellico; beale, it CAN be confusing, when you are dealing with Silver Mines & especially SWIFT'S Silver Mines with VARIOUS first names. HA!

Also another famous treasure hunter and writer, W.C. Jameson doesn't believe theres any treasure or Swift silver anywhere near Jellico Tenn. He almost got ran out of town for telling the locals down there that.
