He was born about 1699. It is currently unknown if he was born in France or on the Isle of Jersey.
He was admitted to the Kingston Church on 14 March 1742 in Kingston, Rockingham, New Hampshire.
He died on 8 May 1789 at the age of 90 in Kingston, Rockingham, New Hampshire. Eli was buried on 1 June 1789 in Kingston, Rockingham, New Hampshire.
He was also known as Elie BEDEE
Family tradition says that Eli was born on the Isle of Jersey, Channel Islands, west coast of France. However, a very thorough search of all the Parish Records on the Isle of Jersey has been conducted and no family with this, or similar, surname was found.
The History of Carroll County::
Eli Beede was a Frenchman of the Isle of Jersey, who, in 1713, at the age of fourteen, came to Boston and in a few months went to Hampton, where he served a regular apprentice with a farmer. In 1720 he removed to East Kingston, then Kingston, married and settled there, becoming a member of Rev. Mr. Secombe's church. This Eli Beede was the ancestor of all the families of that name in New Hampshire.

On 11 Jan 2008, the following information was published by researcher Paul Gervais:
"I recall that some time ago Mark Beedy pointed out that according to Thomas Bedee, his father spoke "Norman French." This had the potential to confuse us as we looked around Brittany for Eli's origins. I found the following information on the web:
"Norman is spoken in mainland Normandy in France where it has no official status but is classed as a regional language.
In the Channel Islands, the Norman language has developed separately, but not in isolation, to form what are recognised as Jerriais (in Jersey), Dgernesiais or Guernsey French (in Guernsey) and Sercquiais (or Sarkese, in Sark). Jerriais and Dgernesiais are recognised as regional languages by the British and Irish governments within the framework of the British-Irish Council.
Sercquiais is in fact a descendant of the 16th century Jèrriais used by the original colonists from Jersey who settled the then uninhabited island."
In that Elie de Bedee was born and grew up to the age of 12? in Jersey, the French spoken around him was the language he learned, in spite of the fact that his father had come from Anjou (France). In school he would have learned this Jersey Norman French as described above. He was not, however, of Norman descent.

I was present at his funeral, which was attended by a large assembly, and a sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Shepard of Brentwood on the doctrine of the resurrection, as taught by St. Paul in the 15 Chap of 1 Cor. which sermon was well received by all who heard it, except the Friends, who were much displeased, as their views of the resurrection from the dead differ materially from those of most other orders of Christians.
His remains were conducted from his dwelling house in the east parish of Kingston to the plain[?] in the west parish of said town, where they were deposited in a burying place near the Rev. [?] Thayer's meeting house and his grave has been left according to the custom of the Friends without any mark or monument to distinguish it from any other.
