Hi, Sara Bedsole was the daughter of Thomas Bedsole Sr. born about 1779 in Bladen County North Carolina. I know absolutley nothing about Benjamin Murrell. I do have their date of marriage as 7-19-1810. There are a lot of Murrells floating around Bladen County but I can't connect any of them. The one Benjamin I have found was born about the same time as Thomas Sr. I suppose it is possible that they married in spite of the large age difference. Peggy
