when he arrived to manhood's years.  January 12, 1848, he married Mary A.
Smith, who was born in this Precinct May 16, 1823, daughter of George A.
and Elizabeth M. (Edwards) Smith.  The paternal grandfather of Mrs. Bedford
was Withers Smith, a native of Virginia, and emigrated to this county
quite early, locating on the farm where Mr. Bedford now resides; he has a

of 1812; his death occurred April 19, 1854; his wife died Feb. 26, 1859.
Mr. Bedford located on the farm he now owns in 1860; seven years later he
built his residence, which commands a splendid view of the Stoner river

the shipping business, buying largely for the New York market, and is
also engaged in his farming interest, which is successfully carried on,
having over 1,000 acres of land; he has but one child, Sallie B., now wife
of Joseph O. Hodges, son of Samuel Hodges.  He has two children: L. Mosley
and Mary R. Hodges, grandchildren of Mr. Bedford.
