I am researching the line of Mary Meek/Joseph Beedle (born 1749). While he was living in Ohio he had a visit from a relative, Daniel Beedle, from NH or Canada. Do you have anyone named Daniel in your tree?.....would have been late 1800's, I think. Joseph's descendants spread out to IL, IA, IN, WI, MO, CA......I don't know the connection of my line with the Beedles' in MI. George does not seem to be a family name but Alonzo was. The families that settled in IA mostly came by way of Fountain Co., Indiana.
Several of the Bedell family of Hempstead, Long Island, NY went to Canada, as they were Loyalists....later, some of them returned to the U.S. Perhaps the Bedell and Beedle names became confused. My Joseph Beedle was a "Bedle" in PA and early OH and later was known as "Beedle", in Ohio and when he moved into Indiana. Please let me know if you think we can make any connections.
