Biography

Born Dec. 10, 1756 in Hanover, Pennsylvania, the son of Henry Bedinger (1729-1772) and Magdelena Schlegel (1734-1796). Bedinger attended an English school. The family moved to Virginia about 1762 and to Kentucky in 1779 and settled at Boonesborough. During the American Revolutionary War, he served as adjutant in John Bowman's expedition against Chillicothe in May 1779. He returned to Virginia and served at the siege of Yorktown, and therefore missed the Battle of Blue Licks in Kentucky.

During the Northwest Indian War, he was a major in Drake's Regiment in 1791, a major commanding the Winchester Battalion of Sharpshooters in the St. Clair expedition in 1791, and a major commanding the Third Sublegion of the United States Infantry from April 11, 1792, to February 28, 1793.

He served as member of the State house of representatives of the first legislature of Kentucky in 1792. He served in the State senate in 1800 and 1801.

Bedinger was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Eighth and Ninth Congresses (March 4, 1803 – March 3, 1807). He engaged in agricultural pursuits. He died at Blue Licks Springs, Kentucky, December 7, 1843. He was interred in the family cemetery on his farm near Lower Blue Licks Springs, Kentucky.

gollark: Also don't be unlucky. Or in the wrong place. Or at the wrong time.

gollark: > but they dont hold u to a moral obligationI have no idea what you mean, but in a post-apocalyptic situation you'll quite probably just die horribly.

gollark: No, you'll immediately get warlords or something who will impose rules and it would be very bad.

gollark: > They would disown their kid if the kid took a vaccineI'm not sure what you would expect to do about this. I feel like forcing them to be vaccinated wouldn't really help matters.> Plus there is the indoctrination that the parents doWell, you would try and inform children about this, as you would for basically anything else.
