General Notes: Husband - Abner Bedell

---

The original spelling of the surname was B'Dell.
Originally a family of France, the Bedell ancestor came to the United States colony with the French soldiers who accompanied General Lafayette. He remained in America and eventually settled in western Pennsylvania.

He served with General Lafayette in the American Revolution, and a tradition concerning his military career is that he assisted Lafayette from the field of battle when the general was wounded. For a time he lived in New Jersey. About the year 1790 he moved to western Pennsylvania, locating at Horseshoe Bottom, above Monongahela City. In 1809 he became owner of the farm in Jefferson township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, originally patented by Zadoc Wright. He lived on that farm until 1824, when he moved to Elizabeth township with his wife and there both died.
