     Isaac Bedient was born in 1772 in Wilton, Connecticut.2 Isaac was baptized in Oct 1772 at Wilton.3 He (1) married Hannah Bennett on 6 Jan 1799 at Weston, Connecticut.3,4,5 He (2) married Sally Hubbel.6 He (3) married Margaret Bedient.7 He died in Dec 1859 in Middlefield, New York,8,9,10, and was buried in the Prentiss Cemetery at Butternuts.8

Other information:

     Acc. to a comment at his page at Find-A-Grave, he died in Dec 1859 in Middlefield, and was listed in the 1860 mortality schedule for Otsego County. Bedient-2 page has date as 1857, and place as Cooperstown. He is listed in the mortality schedule for Middlefield, and this only lists the people who died within the year preceding the census, 1859 has to be correct. Cooperstown and Middlefield are very close.
     An online transcription (on USGenWeb) of Prentiss Cemetery has an Isaac Bedient, d. 24 Oct 1847, Rev. War pensioner; but no Isaac, d. 1857 ot 1859; it also has a Hannah Bedient, and a Sally Bedient, listed both as wife of Isaac Bedient. However, the stone is very worn, and it is possible that the information was transcribed wrong, or that there are two Isaac's. But earlier census only have one, and the age seems to correspond to a birthdate of 1772 rather than 1764.8,9,10,11
     Isaac Bedient is mentioned a number of times as grantor and grantee in the deed books of Otsego County, NY.
