Fusst...Saw the ancestral site you sent me. Lots of stuff there. Saw some of your questions. I can answer many of them, but I don't have dates. It will be long though, so I'll do it later...JD

Hi Jean, Rebecca Jones is the correct wife for Thomas Sr. You may be confusing him with Junior whose wife was Charlotte English. Which by the way if anyone out there has a clue on who Charlotte's parents were I would be thrilled to know! I am afraid that Bedsoles were not very imaginative when naming kids so like most families we have the repeat names over and over again!

Hi All The following database will be free for the next ten days at Ancestry.com. It is "Parish Register of Christ Church, Middlesex County Virginia, 1653-1812 Thought you might like to check it out in case any ancestors are lurking there Peggy http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/search/4194.htm

Thanks for looking! Should prove to be interesting, if I ever find out! Jean At 08:35 AM 12/10/99 -0500, you wrote: >Jean, sorry but I have nothing on the F.M. Bedsaul you asked about. I'm still >looking for more stuff on anybody ,but have nothing new to report. JD

Peggy and All, Going through old messages, I found this. Not sure whoe these guys are. I suspect the Daniel might be mine, but haven't proven it.

In checking my AR marriage records cd, I found this BEDSAUL: Marriage Index: Arkansas, 1850-1900 Bedsaul, F. M. Spouse : Glover, M. G. Marriage date : Jun 13, 1874 County : Jefferson Gender : Male Source : County Court Records Microfilm Number : 0983323, 0983324 & 0983684 - 0983669 Does anyone recogize him? Thanks, Jean Cuevas

Peggy, I went looking and found that I had entered ever BEDSOLE I could find from Banks McLaurin's notes, and so I have a number of duplicates. They may be the same folks, but since I wasn't sure, I have a number. I found this in my files on Thomas BEDSOLE, Sr., but he has a different wife. Is this the wrong one?

Fusst, on the 23 page list I sent you, Travis Bedsole of 1792 and Nancy Simmons had a son in 1810, another in 1811 and a daughter in 1812, but no names......JD

Jean, sorry but I have nothing on the F.M. Bedsaul you asked about. I'm still looking for more stuff on anybody ,but have nothing new to report. JD

We all have a relative or two (or more) that is driving us crazy trying to find something on them. We, Bedsoles suffer from Vincent, John and Thomas Sr. It is unlikely that even old Santa is going to bring us the gift of their heritage. I know that we all think that we have exhausted every avenue but if everyone who is subscribed would thow out a name or two (more if you want) who knows someone on the list just might have something. Doesn't have to be within your main line, be it Bedsole, Bedsaul or what ever spelling you have. Sometimes the folks that our people married hold clues, so throw us your hard to find "married intos" or whoever is driving you crazy. Here's my "please help me project": Travis Bedsole(son of Thomas Sr.) born about 1792, married Nancy Simmons. Who were the kids of this marriage? All I have is "Son of" and "Daughter of". Did they have names? Did they live long enough to marry and produce more Bedsoles? Peggy

Carolyn, thanks for your E-mail regarding William Bedsaul of Va. I do have a long list of Bedsaul's here somewhere. I'll locate it and get back to you. If you don't hear from me by tomorrow night, please e-mail me again.....JD Bedsole

I am new to this list and in search of William Bedsaul, b. late 1800s, VA, m. Jessie Hatfield, b. late 1800s, VA. They had a son Floyd Vernon Bedsaul, b. 12-1917, Meed, CO, m. Edna McCracken, 1941, Manteca, CA, d. 1997, Manteca, CA. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Concerning Mattie, wife of William Jefferson A. Bedsole, I don't have her last name but I do have her middle initial as N. -Kelly Bedsole Saucier

Sole sister, the only thing I have on Mattie is what you have. She was born in 1885, in Ala. Don't have much of anything on the spouses who married Bedsole's, but when I was trying to put this list together, I was only concerned with the Bedsole crowd and the spouses would have been another whole 50 more years to figure out........JD

Just trying to fill in some blanks and reduce my list of "Unknowns" Does anyone have any information on Mattie who married William Jefferson A Bedsole (Andrew Jackson, Henry, Thomas Jr., Thomas Sr.) They married in Alabama and both are buried in Bethlehem Cemetary in Montgomery County Peggy

Thanks mucho, Jean. i did visit the site and saw your posting. Ig you find out anything new, let me know and I'll do the same.......JDB

Hi All, A BEDSAUL cousin of mine has just added the BEDSAUL name to the GenForum. Here's her reply back.

Hi All, Wanted to pass on this preliminary information that I received from Bobbie Newham concerning Lucinda Bedsole (David Bedsole, Thomas Jr, Thomas Sr.) I had only one marriage listed for Lucinda which was William Kelly. Bobbie is a descendent of the first marriage of Lucinda which was to David Kent. There were two children of this marriage David Jr and Catherine. It appears that Lucinda was very young at the time of the marriage and that David was shot will running for a political office. Bobbie is attempting to forward additional dates and information on this part of the family. I will send it along to you as soon as I receive it. Peggy
