William Beedle (or Bedle) and his wife Esther, son James, four daughters, sons-in-law, and their children settled in Warren County, OH, at Beedle Station early in 1800's. William was a native of Passaic Valley in New Jersey and has a brother named Francis. I believe my Phoebe Beedle (or Beadle, Bedell, Bedle, etc.) was sister to William and Francis. She was born September 24, 1770 in Sussex County, NJ and migrated to Ohio around 1789. Would appreciate any information on Beadle/Beedle connections and also information on where Passaic Valley was and where the name came from. Susan in Milwaukee
