I have seen a much quoted Sam Beddingfield post of Sam (1775), the father, with children John Jefferson (1794), Wyatt Harmon (1796), Will (1798) and CC. Have any of you ever found any data to back this up? It seems to be a different family from mine.
In my tree I have Charles C. Beddingfield (1806-1880), Samuel D. (abt 1819-1869) which seem to be brothers, Wyatt Harmon (1857-1922) son of Samuel D.; William (1828-died before 1880) son of CC, and John Jefferson (1839-1898) son of CC. JJ also has a grandson and g-grandson named John Jefferson.
I believe the father of CC and Sam to be George Beddingfield of Conecuh County, AL. It is possible George and CC are brothers but I am more inclined to believe the father-son relationship. I derived this from matching the persons (sex and age) on the 1830 and 1840 census ( households of Charles C. and George) with known persons (census 1850-1880). The families match except for the 1840 age for head of household. They are listed there as Bennefield. It appears George had 4 sons CC, Henry, Sam and John and one daughter (name unknown).
Do any of you have any thoughts on my theory?
