Are these people related in any way to Pharoh and Amanda Jane Bledsoe?
Hi,
I am helping my wife research her ancestry, her 2nd great grandfather was the younger Hiram BLEDSOE born abt 1879, and son of Hiram B born 1851.
I was the great photo of their family on the Scott County VA Web site and was hoping you could share some more info on their family or ancestry.
Or would like to know if you have the email address for the “Patty” that authored the info on the website:
https://scottcountyva.info/2006/hiram-bledsoe-amanda-jane-barnett-and-family/
I had Hiram BLEDSOE the seniors wife as a Elizabeth LAWSON, but noted you have Eliza RILEY.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Ron, I am the Patty that posted this information. It was given to me by Bobbie Nicholson. There is a link to her email address at the end of the post but it has been so long I don’t know if it is still good.
I wish I could be more help. Maybe Bobbie will see your comment.
