Hi All, I received the Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy for Christmas, but it's confusing as anything and will take a while to learn how to navigate! But, I did come across a name which may (or may not) be a confusion of the BEDSOLE/BEDSAUL name: BEDSON, Mary d. 10-12-1763 Thomas, burried 11-17-1732 s Samuel, d. ae about 10 y This came from the Philadelphia Quaker Monthly Meeting. My mother's aunt by marriage is up in her upper 80's with a clear mind, and she always said that her family (she was a granddaughter of Hale Franklin BLEDSOE, John Lowry BEDSAUL'S youngest son) told her that they were "Pennsylvania Dutch", which must mean that they came along with Wm Penn's colony of Germans who settled in PA. However, some mention of Burlington, NJ is listed as also a possibility. Does anyone on this list have a PA or NJ connection? Thanks, Jean Cuevas
