Notes:

Bedent was an industrious, careful farmer and a prudent man. He brought some choice horses with him from Canada.

He was a good husband and careful father, setting a good example before his children. He brought them up to love and respect the Christian religion. He was a great church worker and served as deacon of the Baptist Church of Southfield most of his life.

He had a pleasing manner and was noted among his neighbors as a peace maker, settling many of their disputes. he made a home for several needy children and also was ever ready to help the poor. He took care of his mother by her request, in her last years.

He was an abolitionist. His sympathy and help was ever with the poor slave. One slave he found in Detroit and brought him home with him and changed his name from Adam Bogus to Adam Clark. The slave had light hair and blue eyes and was as fair as a free man. You could not have told he was a slave by looks. When his old master came to Bedent's home after him, Bedent helped the slave to escape.
