"John Bell, eldest son of [Mary (née Yost) and] Robert Bell, was born in November, 1781, in New Jersey. In 1803 he married Hannah Finch, who was born in Rhode Island in 1785, and came to Belmont county with her parents. To her marriage with Mr. Bell seven children were born in Belmont county, namely: Robert, who moved to Steuben county, Ind., where he died; Jesse, who moved to Missouri, and died near Hamilton; Anna, who married John Knott, and died at Angola, Steuben county, Ind.; John who died in Richland county, but lived in Ripley, Huron county, where he was a tanner; Hannah, widow of Thomas Knott, of Tipton, Iowa; Enoch, who died in Morrow county, Ohio, where he was a preacher of the United Brethren Church, and later a farmer; and David S., the subject of this sketch. In the fall of 1817 John Bell and family moved to Bellville, Richland Co., Ohio. In the spring of the following year he purchased 260 acres of land at two dollars and fifty cents per acre, in Bloominggrove township, and on that tract established his home. He was a great hunter, and during his lifetime killed over 400 deer, and a large number of bears and wolves, thus providing himself with field sports, and his large family and pioneer neighbors with sufficient animal food. In Blooming-grove township three children were added to the family, namely: Nathaniel, a Methodist preacher and farmer of Ripley township, Huron county, deceased; Stephen, who died in the same township when twenty-five years old; and Joseph, deceased in infancy. In 1839 the family moved into Ripley township, Huron county, where Mrs. Bell died in 1856. The father died May 2, 1867, in Greenwich township, at the house of his son, David S., where he had resided the previous six years. Both were buried in the old Salem cemetery in Richland county."
