(There is also viii. Benjamin (1753-1778) who became a medical doctor according to the Bristol manuscript. He is the one died young from a "putrid fever" in Edinburgh).

Also a Joseph was born in 1768. He appears to ahve died from whooping coughon OCtober 17, 1775, aged seven. Another child was born in 1775 (a tenth Snooke calls him).

6. As for Beddome's grandchildren we know (from the Bristol manuscript) that Samuel and Jane had six children (Mary Ann who married William Binnings, Elizabeth who married Rev J W Charlesworth of a long line of Anglican clerics, Benjamin, Samuel Archdale, Jane and Richard) and Josephus and Sophia had seven (John Reynolds, William Wilkins, Anne whose second marriage was to Olinthus Gilbert Gregory [1774-1841] the author of a brief memoir affixed to an edition of Beddome's sermons, Boswell Brandon, Samuel, Jane and Sophia).

They had three daughters. The youngest Maud Elizabeth (1865-1948) was married to the leading Salvationist Ballington Booth, son of William Booth.
