Peter then moved to Orange twp Ohio in 1814. In 1820 Christian joined him in Richland and or Orange Twp Ohio. You will find they changed their last names to Biddinger. What is interesting Christian and his family moved on to Sangamon County IL and changed his last name back to Bedinger. Philip Biddinger stayed in Orange county with his uncle Peter Biddinger. Christian as an Old man his moved back to Ohio with Philip under the name of Biddinger.

If you look at the census records this support will support my claim. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
