      I am Aunt Macey’s grand niece. My Granny was Almeda Peters Taylor. I am her grand daughter and my mother was Sallie. Mae Peters was my mother’s older sister and married her cousin, Bascomb. I would like to be able to purchase one of your books. My grandmother told me stories about her mother, Martha Davidson’s family, about the woman taken by the indians and found her way home months later, and oral history of other encounters with indians.

      I am the granddaughter of Nancy Cornelia Wallen Jones. She was the daughter of John George Wallen and Virginia Mahon. I guess we are cousins.

    My name is Frances A. Peters and I live in Rotterdam , the Netherlands. On June 6, 1988 my father died in the Philippines and with him my family history.
    His name was Paul Arnold Peters and he was born in Blackwater Virginia in 1930. His parents were Effie Lawson and Benjamin Peters and he had 3 brothers. Elmer, Lloyd and Garnie( I hope that’s how you spell it) The first and the last time I saw my father’s family was in 1956. I was 2 years old. I think this was also the last time my father saw his family. My father married my mother a Dutch girl, he met in Germany. My mother says that my father’s parents lived one mile from the state line in Tennessee or Virginia on a farm. You had to cross a railroad track to get to their house. There was also a creek or body of water near the road where my father almost drowned as a child. I have three children: Jeroen born in 1974, Gaia born in 1991 and Justin born in 1995. My husband is Dutch. My children have both the American and Dutch nationality. I would like know more about my father ‘s family . Does anyone out there know my father’s family?
    Thank you for your time and bless you,

      I saw your post on Lee County Memories, I just found this site. Did your grandparents live around Speers Ferry, Va. between Duffield and Gate City, va.? My mom and dad use to talk about a Ben Peters and we are related to the Peters. I would have to ask my older siblings how we are related and if they know Ben and Effie Peters. My email is beatricescarter@yahoo.com if you want to contact me.

    Isaac Franklin Bledsoe, husband of Martha Josephine Murphy, was my father. Their children were Isaac Franklin, Jr, Claude Edward, Glenn Murphy(deceased), Mary Martha and Daniel Roger. I can remember going to see Aunt Alpha and Uncle Kyle when I was little. No one in this world could cook potatoes and cornbread like she could. Aunt macey was there at the house with them a lot of times that I can remember also. Uncle Garlie took me to the cemetery years ago where Isaac Wesley is buried. i would be happy to answer any questions anyone might have if I can. Delmer Wallen is also a good subject matter expert in genealogy.

      Hello, I’m glad I found you post. Myself and my daughter are trying to figure out some things about my dad who died in 1995 Jack Bledsoe. His mother was Sarilda Bledsoe married to Isack Bledsoe. My dad was born in WV and I’m pretty sure it’s Blackwater. He has siblings Ike Bledsoe Jr. passed years ago. Cora Bledsoe Boling, recently passed Garlie Bledsoe passed about 10 years ago. Junior George Bledsoe still living, Dorathy Bledsoe still living. All my life I thought I was a Bledsoe. One day I heard something that made me curious , so I started asking questions. My aunt Cora told me that, she , Garlie, and Ike were the only children by Isack Blesoe, then my Dad was a Melton, My aunt Dorothy a Moss and My uncle Juniou a Willis I think but not sure. Anyways, it’s way too confusing. I have no first name for My dad’s father . I was only told he was a Melton. I’m sure that Sarilda Bledsoe wanted to keep everything on the down low beings that these last three children were out of wedlock. I think I alsso saw a Charlie Bledsoe there someone where as a sibling and I have never heard that name. My cousin Eddie Bledsoe a preacher in Whitmire South Carolina knows some things but I need to get together with him . Sarilda Bledsoe moved to Whitmire S.C. approx 1929 with all her children and lived there until she died at 95 or so. If you have any info on this would you please let me know and I would love to get a hold of Delmer Wallen. Do you know how I can get intouch with Delmer? I am also very interested in Sarilda’s geneology because she is my dad’s mom. I just want to find out about his real dad (Melton) as well. I hope to hear from you. One time I asked my aunt Cora what my dad’s father looked like and she said , “Just like your dad”.. I hope to find out more. Nice finding you !!!! I live in Laguna Beach California and I’m going to be going back there within a few months and plan on going to WV with Eddie Bledsoe.

    Ruby (Peters) Snodgrass was my Great-Grandmother. I believe she was the niece of Macey Belle (Peters) BLEDSOE and this would be a picture with her Aunt and Uncle and Cousin. Ruby passed away in April 2001.
