BEDELL Family of New Jersey
I have hit a brick wall concerning the ancestry of my 5th Great Grandfather, Moses BEDELL. Here is what I have gathered thus far as to his profile:
Moses BEDELL was born circa 1740 in New Jersey. He resided in the Passaic Valley in New Jersey.
Moses BEDELL married Elizabeth LITTELL (d/o David LITTELL & Susannah CRAIG) in October, 1784 in New Jersey.
Moses and Elizabeth (LITTELL) BEDELL were the parents of my 4th Great Grandmother, Lydia (BEDELL) MOORE (w/o Isaac MOORE) of Somerset Co., New Jersey.
I believe Moses BEDELL lived/had relatives in the areas of Morris, Essex and Somerset Counties, New Jersey. Moses' wife, Elizabeth LITTELL has a older sister named Esther LITTELL, who married William BEDELL. I highly suspect that William BEDELL and Moses BEDELL are related -- possibly siblings or first cousins... Many references state that William BEDELL (Born circa 1730s), husband of Esther LITTELL is the son of John BEDELL and Susannah VALENTINE of Morris County, NJ. There is no mention of any child named Moses being born to this couple. I am on a quest to locate any possible information that may corroborate or eliminate this suspicion of a family connection between Moses BEDELL and William BEDELL.
Any additional insights on my ancestor, Moses BEDELL would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
