I am the first and the last of my generation with the name Bedwell.
My father was born with the name Aitchison but was later adopted by a man named Bedwell. So, when my father married and I was born, I had the name, Bedwell. I only had two daughters as children and they have both married and have different last names. My brother, also a Bedwell, never had any children of his own, but only adopted children. My only sister has married and so her Bedwell name is long gone, too.
So, no bloodline Bedwells before me and none after me. I am a generation of one!
As of this time (2023) I am the oldest living member of my immediate family. That includes siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Both my parents are deceased.
I am the last man standing!!!
