Dear Rockin' Rooters, Many BEEDEs were born, lived, and died in Rockingham County but I have never seen this surname mentioned on this list (that I remember). I would like to change that with this message. I am currently interested in the Bezaleel BEEDE described below. However, I am also interested in any and all BEEDEs (or BEEDYs) from Rockingham County (or anywhere else) and would appreciate any information you are willing to share. I have *much* more information about the BEEDE/BEEDY family if you are interested. I wish you all the merriest of Christmases and the happiest of New Years. Jack ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- Descendants of Bezaleel BEEDE - 20 Dec 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- FIRST GENERATION 1. Bezaleel BEEDE was born on 22 Aug 1759 in Brentwood (now Fremont), Rockingham Co., NH. He died in Pike Co., NY. He served in the War of the Revolution 8 Sep 1777 to 16 Dec 1777. He moved to Gilmanton, NH where his first son Aaron was born. Later he moved to Stafford, VT while that county was young and sparsely settled. [NOTE: It is possible, based on the above paragraph, that the Bezaleel Jr. listed below was not, in fact, his son. However, I have much information about him and have placed him there while I search for a better place to put him] He was married to Judith MORGAN on 18 Dec 1782. [Note: Although there is evidence that Bezaleel had sons named Daniel and John, I have been unable to find absolute proof that the ones I have assigned to him are the right ones.] Bezaleel BEEDE and Judith MORGAN had the following children: +2 i. Bezaleel BEEDE Jr.. +3 ii. Aaron BEEDE. +4 iii. Daniel A. BEEDY. +5 iv. John BEEDY. 6 v. Joseph BEEDE was born in 1808. He died in 1887. 7 vi. Kezia BEEDE.
