The Edinburgh University alumni site (see here) states that Beddome's sixth child Richard Brandon Beddome (b 1769) began studying medicine in Edinburgh in 1792, 18 years after his older brother, Benjamin, who died in 1778.
Benjamin Beddome (1717-1795) is a largely forgotten 18th Century English Baptist preacher, remembered today only as a minor hymnwriter. For over half a century he served as pastor of the Baptist church meeting at Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire. He is worth more than a passing glance.
