I have a 3rd great grandfather George Bedell b. 1826 in NY. He lived mostly in Queens (Jamaica and Hempstead). His wife was Charity Frederick Bedell - they married in 1849. They had many children: Caroline F., Sarah E., Hannah H., George R., Frederick L., John H., Edward F., and Annie F. Both George and Charity were born in NY and their parents were born in NY, but I can't find any information on George's parents.

I know that there were a lot of Bedell's in that time period, and many of the names overlap. But, I'm not sure if/how my Bedells match up to the others I've read about.

I hope someone out there can help! Thanks!
