Do you know of South Beddington ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about South Beddington. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with South Beddington.<1>

Our sources for South Beddington (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of South Beddington other than they indicate that South Beddington would be found somewhere in Washington County, Maine.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1855 and closed  in 1913.
