Dear Susan, First of all, thank you so much for all your work. The information you've been putting on the list has been very interesting. I hope we don't give you "burn-out". I'm looking for William BEDELL, primarily. I know he is in "The Histories of Clinton and Franklin Counties, NY", but I've yet to be able to read what it says. I'm most interested in what church he was affilliated, but, frankly, any information will be greatly appreciated. If there are more than one, he's the preacher who lived in Plattsburg (or near there) around 1800 to about 1830. He also has a son named William, and I think there's another William in a separate part of the county. Seneca BEDELL is another of his sons. I thought he might stand out some since his first name is fairly uncommon. There are variations in the spelling "BEDELL", including "BEDLE", "BEEDLE", and "BEDEL". Thank you again, Judy
