CHILLICoTHE, OHIO,

August 70, lSO0.
EDITOR SHEPHERDsTowN REGISTER
Dear Sir-A West Virginia friend
has sent me copy of the REGISTER
of August 18th, containing the &C
count of the demolition of the I'D
Harris house. 1t may be of interest
to some of your readers to know that
it was built by Major Henry Beding
er, OF the Revolution. From him it
descended to his daughter, Mrs. Brax-
ton Davenport, who bequeathed it to
her daughter, Mrs. John T. Gibson Of
Charles Town, who sold it to the
Harris family. Family tradition says
that the land on which the house
was built was given to Major Beding'
er by his father, Henry Bedinger, ST.,
who came to Mecklenbuig, as it was
then called, in 1862.
Very Respectfully Yours,
A BEDINGER DESCENDANT.
