Person:Lydia Bedell (1)

Comments from Bill Bedell in an email Nov 2012: Henry and Eliza Jackson are buried right next to Hannah and John Welsey, my 2nd Great Grandparents and their headstones say, Our Mother and Our Father. Also, John and Hannah's first born, Lydia, her middle name is Eliza and Lydia and Henry Wood are in the graves right behind John and Hannah.

Lydia's gravestone gives a date of birth as 1852 and on the 1900 census her date of birth is given as Nov 1853 but that date conflicts with her younger brother's date of birth. Even assuming the date should be Nov 1852, that still is not 9 months from her brother's birth date.
