Hello, I just checked the archives of the Boards and Lists, and I haven't posted a query about the surname, BEDELL, and the families living in NH in the 1700's in about 2 years. So, I'd like to ask if anyone has any new information about the BEDELL's and when they originally moved to New Hampshire ! I saw from the archives that there were at least 2? BEDELL men who fought in the Revolutionary War from NH. For my newly-found step-cousins, I am researching Abial BEDELL who was reportedly born in Bath, NH, or in Grafton County, in the 1830's. He seems to have been married twice, once to a Cynthia, and they had a daughter, Eva BEDELL. After he was living in Medford, MA, he married a Helen JONES, and they had 2 sons, Frank BEDELL and Charles BEDELL. I believe Abial BEDELL traces back to the BEDELL families in Plaistow, NH, or any town in Rockingham County, and his family might have moved up to Grafton County somewhere around 1800-1810. But, I haven't seen any BEDELL's being in NH in the 1600's. The earliest BEDELL's I've seen living in this area in the 1600's are the families arriving on Long Island, New York. Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA)
