Bell, John (4),

an English minister of the Society of Friends, was born in Cumberland County in 1681. He took up his residence in London in 1708, was a member of the Savoy meeting, from which he received a certificate approving him as a minister, and commending him to Friends in Holland, among whom he purposed to labor. For a time, he resided in Bradford, York County, and in 1715 removed to London, where he remained during the rest of his life, and died in 1761. He was the compiler of one volume of Piety Promoted. See Piety Promoted, 3, 205-206. (J. C. S.)
