Jacob Betzold b. 1710
Looking for any Betzold related to Jakob Betzold (Jacob Bedsole) from Germany. Apparently, his name was changed to Jacob Bedsole by an english Scribe when he arrived in the U.S. He was born about 1710, married Elizabeth Coles in New Jersey June 3, 1730. She was probably born about 1710-12The only child I have been able to find for them is Elisha Bedsole who was born about 1730-31. Elisha was in Chestnut Creek, Virginia in 1785 where he purchased 400 acres of land, but could have been living there prior to that year. I have been unable to find Jacob or Elizabeth after Elisha was born, which was probably with the Pennsylvania Dutch group from Germany, but not certain. It's possible they moved from there to NC, near Beaverdam Township (Bladen County) and Elisha moved from there to Va, some time later.
