Norm,
Hiram Beedle was my Great-Great Grandfather. His father was John from Indiana. He was married to Isabel Carson. John's father was Abram Beedle married to Nancy Riffle. Abram's father was Joeph married to Mary Meeks. Mary's parents were Sam Meeks and Charity Boyd.
I know that ther were numerous Beedles around the Fountain County, Indiana area but Abram is the only one I know about. I hope this helps. Let me know.
