I have two Bedford lines in my tree. My grandfather Benjamin Newman's mother Mattie
was a Bedford and his paternal great grandfather Jonathan Newman also married a Bedford.
They are all from Huntingdonshire England, primarily from Ramsey and environs -- and both
sides of the family moved to Evansville, IN. When I was growing up there used to be a
Bedford Sand and Gravel company on the banks of the Ohio river. William Bedford ran a race
track -- he was quite a colorful character -- died after being gored by a bull. I have
traced the family back to about 1630. Unfortunately I don't have any David Bedfords
in my tree. I have attached a link that should take you to my tree -- biographical
information and anecdotal material from my family members is available there. There are
also many Bedfords buried at Oak Hill Cemetery both in the Newman plot and the Bedford
plot. Let me know if you have trouble accessing my tree or if I can be of further
assistance.
