1. Charles Elias Begle (Beedle or Bedell) was born on 22 Mar 1783 in Ohio; died on 2 Aug 1846 in Lebanon, Warren Co, Ohio.

Notes:

He was probably born as early as 1689, for on 20 November 1710 "John Beadle Ju" recorded his cattle mark on the town books as "a half penny on the upper side of the right ear and a half penny and a nick under the left ear".

He was doubtless a resident of Hempstead on 1 June 1722, when John or the authorities deemed it necessary for the latter to identify himself as the son of Joseph to avoid confusion.

The name John Bedell does not appear again in records relating to Hempstead until 1738, when on is listed as a private in Capt. Jacob Hicks' Queens County Company of Militia (DHNY 4:210 and CMR 1:576). Who was this John? He might have been either of the two already referred to or even a third member of the family.

After the date just given an adult John Bedell does not appear until about the middle of the century in Hempstead. A possible explanation of the disappearance of John from the Long Island scene may be found in "The Descendants of John Bedell who lived in the Passaic Valley, N.J.," by Edwin Bedell, 22 pages (1885).

This author states on page 3 that John, Henry and Benjamin
Bedell in 1750 lived in what is now called Morris County, New Jersey, and suggests that possibly they had arrived in that colony some years before that date. He notes that this John Bedell was father of another John, whose eldest child
was born about 1726, and suggests that the first John was
related to Henry and Benjamin.

Now as John Bedell of Hempstead had a brother, Benjamin, and
the latter's name is not to be found in Hempstead records either after 3 March 1725/6 it seems possible the John Bedell and Benjamin Bedell removed to New Jersey and are identical with those men Mr. Edwin Bedell mentions.

Further, the first John Bedell in that volume, in order to be the grandfather of a child born about 1726, must have entered the world at a date corresponding roughly to that date at which we know John Bedell arrived.
