Biography

Son of Jacob Bedell and Aula (Eleanor) Powers. He married Mary (Polly) Osborn (1758-1843).

ABRAHAM BEDELL, (1st son of Jacob Bedell,) sold out his lands in Essex County, and removed, in April, 1800, with John Maxwell, and William Littell, to Sussex county. Abraham Bedell, and his wife, Polly Osborn, had children :

1. Betsey, who died young.

2. Sally, who married, 25th December, 1797, Lewis Meeker, of a Union ; went to Seneca county, New York.

7. Abraham, married Sally Edwards, lived in Newark.

Tombstone: Abraham appears to be the earliest born (1756) and the earliest extant burial (1805) in Vaughn Cemetery. His tombstone reads: "Cut by J. Hand Osborn". The carver was Jonathan Hand Osborn of Scotch Plains, New Jersey who signed markers from 1779-1810.

I believe Abraham married TWO Osborne women, daughters of John Osborne and Puah Howel; Mary Osborne.(1758-1843) and her sister Polly.(1760-1807) Unfortunately, I have but the one source: "Family Records, or Genealogies of the First Settlers of the Passaic Valley and vicinity Above Chatham" by John Littell.(1852) Page 41 names Polly as the wife of Abraham- since Polly died in 1807, it's totally possible for her to be the mother of all 8 of Abraham's children. I could be wrong. Steve H. (McManus-382)
