Thanks ever so much for the research string on J. L. Bledsoe. It is tremendously helpful.
Re your other reply: Infuriated by history? Nonsense! All you have to remember is that when it comes to history and geneology, OUR ancestors are heroic, saintly people. Every one ELSE'S ancestors are the killers, deserters, cowards, etc. I hope this helps.
Thanks once again for your invaluable help.
