John Bell (farmer)
John Bell (1750 — 20 December 1820) was an American farmer whose death was attributed to supernatural causes. He is a central figure in the Bell Witch ghost story of southern American folklore. In 1817, Bell contracted a mysterious affliction that worsened over the next three years, ultimately leading to his death. According to the story, the Bell Witch took pleasure in tormenting him during his affliction, finally poisoning him one December morning as he lay unconscious after suffering a number of violent seizures.〔
== Early life ==
Born in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, Bell was an apprentice barrel maker during his formative years and later pursued a career in farming. He married Lucy Williams in 1782 and settled on the farm he had bought previously.〔Halifax County, North Carolina, Deed Book 13, p. 157.〕 The Bells prospered over the next eight years and were among the area's most successful planters. In the winter of 1804-1805, Bell and his family embarked on a journey over the treacherous mountains of North Carolina and east Tennessee that took them to an area called “The Barren Plains,” settling in the northwest section of present-day Robertson County, Tennessee.〔(Bell Witch Of Tennessee )〕
