Sarah identifies Robert Bell as her father and says he was living in Mississippi in 1830. Asked for her nearest ancestor living there in 1830, she then names her paternal grandfather, also as Robert Bell. The examiner immediately challenges that answer against what she had just said about her father.
The source does not decide whether these are one person or two successive people with the same name. The room preserves the recorded tension without resolving it.
