My earliest known Bedwell ancestor is George Bedwell, born sometime after 1775. He married Rachel Stout in 1819 in Franklin County, IN. Their son Thomas (my gg-grandfather, was born in Ohio in 1826. The family ended up in Ottumwa, Iowa. My great-grandfather, Charles Bedwell, married Emma Hill and they lived in Iowa and, later, Omaha, Nebraska. I'm trying to find out where George came from and who his parents were.
