Hi Erin:

Sorry I can't help. This particular Bedell married one of my Rothars, and Rothar is my bloodline, so I don't have a lot of Bedell history.

I do know, however, that the Bedell family is a very old one in N.Y., and I would guess there a lot of Bedell histories out there, perhaps even a Bedell Family Assn. It would pay to check out compiled family histories. Good Luck. Madeline
