Abell 1818-yil 29-iyunda New York shahrida Gurdon va Anna Abell oilasida tug'ilgan[1][2][3]. Boshqa joyda tug'ilganiga qaramay, ota-onasi uni Konnektikut shtatidagi Franklin shahrida o'stirishdi[4][5]. 1820-yilda oila Gruziyaning Augusta shahriga ko'chib o'tadi, u yerda otasi paxta sotuvchisi va quldor bo'ladi. Ko'chib o'tgandan so'ng, Abell 1826-yilda New Havenga o'qish uchun yuborilganida o'zini topdi[1].

1843-yilda o'sha paytda jurnalist bo'lib ishlagan Abell AQSh prezidenti Jon Taylerning "Life of John Tyler " nomli tarjimai holi muallifi bo'lib, u Harper va Brothers tomonidan nashr etilgan[2]. U buni prezidentning buyrug'i bilan yozgan va qayta saylanish imkoniyatini oshirish uchun buni topshirgan[6].

Abell 1840-yillarning boshlarida Sem Xyustonga tarjimai holi va jo'natmalarini yetkazib bergani uchun prezident tomonidan siyosiy tayinlov bilan taqdirlanadi. Dastlab u Marseldagi konsul lavozimiga nomzod qilib ko'rsatilgan, ammo Senat uni rad etgan; kamchilikka qaramay, Prezident Tayler Abellni mukofotlashga ishonch hosil qildi[1]. Fransiyaga borish o'rniga u 1845-yil 16-yanvarda AQShning Gavayidagi konsuli etib tayinlandi[7][8]. U 1846-yilda ketib, oʻn oydan kamroq vaqt xizmat qiladi[9]. Bu davrda u Sandwich Island News gazetasining muharriri bo'lib ishlaydi[2].

Abell 1847-yil noyabr oyida Kaliforniyaga ko'chib o'tdi va u yerda shtatning taniqli fuqarosiga aylanadi[4]. Charlz X. Kregin yordamida ikkalasi 1849-yilda Sutter qal'asida Sakramento kasalxonasini tashkil etishadi. Bu Kaliforniyaning Sakramento shahridagi birinchi kasalxona bo'ladi. Keyinchalik, 1857-yildan 1860-yilgacha u Kaliforniya Pionerlar Jamiyatining prezidenti bo'lib xizmat qildi[2][10]. Shuningdek, 1855-yildan 1890-yilgacha Kaliforniyadagi Erkin va Qabul qilingan Masonlarning Buyuk Lojasining Bosh kotibi bo'lib ishlagan va sakkiz yil davomida Kaliforniya ritsarlari Templarining buyuk qo'mondoni bo'lgan[4][11][12]. U Kaliforniya shtati senatori sifatida ham xizmat qiladi[5].

U 1890-yil 28-dekabrda Kaliforniyaning San-Fransisko shahrida o‘z qarorgohida vafot etdi[3][4]. U Kaliforniyaning Kolma shahrida dafn etilgan[5].
