The Bell family arrived late in America June 1772 and made their way up the Hudson River to the Scottish settlement at Fort Edward. They resided on Lot 138 of the Argyle Patent, where William erected a log house beside the road leading northward to Fort Anne, and set himself up as an innkeeper. On June 4, 1776, as the dark clouds of the approaching revolution darkened the horizon, William Bell was chosen to be a member of the Committee of Safety. As William was an old British soldier and had seen action in some of the European wars he refused to take up arms against Britain. He continued to reside at Fort Edward, but by 1780, the American authorities seem to have become tired of Bell's actions and he was committed to the Albany Gaol. A book, "Old Fort Edward", by Hill, mentions: "On August 29th, 1780, Joseph Hawkins, Thomas Yarns and William Bell were apprehended and brought before the Committee for Detecting and Defeating Conspiracies, at Albany, charged with having been with the enemy." After several petitions to protest his confinement with no trial, William secured his release. The pass to Canada was issued at Fort Edward near Albany, New York, on August 5th 1777 and worded as follows -- "Permit the bearer, William Bell of Argyle Town, to pass with his family and effects. He has taken the oath of his Excellency General Burygone manifesto and oath of allegiance at Fort Edward the 5th day of August 1777". In the autumn of 1783, entitled General Return of Refugee Loyalists Exclusive of those quartered and residing at the Upper Posts, we find William Bell and his two sons listed as farmers from New York province.
Whatever property he had accumulated was all confiscated and he and his family fled to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. He was one of the earliest settlers in the Bay of Quinte area of Ontario. His homestead was the East half Lot 9, Concession 1 near Sandhurst and almost straight south of Napanee in South Fredericksburgh and just off the shore of the Bay of Quinte. William died September 12, 1788 in Fredericksburgh, Ontario and is presumably buried on his farm. Flora died about November 12, 1795 and is also buried in South Fredericksburgh. Their children were William McCorquodale (1759 - 1857), Duncan (1760 - after 1830) married to Anne Briscoe, Eleanor (1762 - ?) married to Asa Hough, Jane (1761 - 1851) married to Andrew Embury, Elizabeth (1767 - 1857) married to Elisha Phillips, Ann (1773 - 1800) married to Lambert Van Alstine, Isobel (1775 - ?) married to Johannes Sills and secondly to Martin Hough, and Margaret (1778 - 1851) married to George Sills.
U.E.L. families received land grants when they came to Canada, to help in some small way to re-imburse them in their loss, suffered because of their refusal to bear arms against England, and the subsequent confiscation of their property. The Bell family received 1200 acres, 600 near Newburgh; 300 at Desmond; 100 in Portland Township; 200 where the town of Collingwood now stands.

Note: There is a Robert Cowie as the first line under John and Jane Cowie in the 1851 Census for Cramahe Twp. The name is smudged but it's quit clear that it looks just like the other Robert names this registrar wrote at that time. His age is shown as 22, single, born in England and he is shown to be a Miller. I am placing this Robert Cowie with John and Jane because it would appear from this census record he may have been their son.
