They had they following children: Nancy b. abt 1817, m. to George SMITH John b. 1819, m. to Eliza Jane HARNETT Samuel b. 1821, m. to Mary STORM(S) James A. b. 1823 Matilda b. 1826, m. to Daniel STORM(S), Asa DOLLARHIDE Daniel b. 1828, m. to Jane CARSON or GARRON James Bedwell moved his family to Louisa Co. about 1838 and held the following positions there: 1837 - Road Commissioner 1838 - Precinct Judge 1840 - District Supervisor He died in 1850 and his wife Rachel died 1850 - both in Louisa Co., although I've never found a cemetery record for either of them. Their son, John (my g-g-grandfather) married Eliza Jane Harnett in 1836 in Tippecanoe Co., IN. They had four children: Elijah b. 1837, died young Lavina b. 1840, m. Alexander MILLER in 1855, George HONTS in 1865 in Louisa Co. Delilah b. 1842, m. Horace BELKNAP in 1864 in Louisa Co. Rachel b. 1844, m. William SPOFFARD in 1860 in Louisa Co. After John Bedwell's death in 1845 (and again - no cemetery record to be found) Eliza Jane married Mark KNIGHT in 1846; they had two children, Asa b. 1847 and Charlotte b. 1848. Mark Knight died in 1849. Eliza Jane remained a widow until 1852 when she married Francis WYKERT Jr., a widower with 5 children. They had six more children of their own: Lydia b. 1853 Nancy b. 1854, m. Joseph WILLIAMS in 1870 in Louisa Co. Francis Harnett b. 1855, m. Matilda CHRISSINGER in 1880 in Louisa Co. Thomas Adalaska b. 1857, m. Sophie SCHRAMM in 1877 in Louisa Co. Ida b. 1858, m. George OESTERREICHER in 1876 in Louisa Co. Florence b. 1861 Lavina BEDWELL m. George HONTS, s/o Daniel HONTS and Mary GOOD, in 1865 - they had the following children: Henry b. 1868 in IA James b. 1870 in IA George b. 1873 in IA Eliza Jane b. 1875 in IA Charity b. 1880 in Polk Co., NE After Francis Wykert Jr.'s death in 1872, Eliza Jane moved to Polk Co., NE with several of her married children. She remarried one more time to Samuel COOK in 1878 - he died in 1880 and she in 1881. Sorry for the length of this - haven't figured out how to condense all these names and dates yet! Mari Nielsen
