Bedel, Timothy, 1740-1787
Military officer; born in Salem, N. H., about 1740; was a brave and faithful officer in the war for independence.
He was attached to the Northern army, and had the full confidence and esteem of General Schuyler, its commander.
He was captain of rangers in 1775, and early in 1776 was made colonel of a New Hampshire regiment.
He was with Montgomery at the capture of St. John's on the Sorel, and was afterwards in command at the Cedars, not far from Montreal, where a cowardly surrender bv a subordinate, in Bedel's absence, caused the latter to be tried by a court-martial, on a false charge, made by General Arnold.
He was deprived of command for a while, but was reinstated.
He died at Haverhill, N. H., in February, 1787.

He was active with Montgomery in the siege of Quebec.
In August, 1776, he was made lieutenant-colonel, and, on the morning of Sept. 18, 1776, he surprised the outposts of Ticonderoga, set free 100 American prisoners, captured four companies of British regulars, a quantity of stores and cannon, and destroyed a number of boats and an armed sloop.
He left the service because of his detestation of Benedict Arnold, but continued to act with the militia.
