Good Morning, I would like to say welcome to all the new members on the list. Please introduce yourself and tell us what Blackledge you are looking for. We will be glad to help. My Blackledge's come from MS. (Jones, Wayne, Jasper Co.). My father Jesse Lee Hodge (Nov27,1913-July 2,1995) was born and raised in Wayne Co. He moved to New York in the 50's. I was born in the 60's. I love looking for my ancestors and hearing the many stories about them. I am researching the following surnames: Arrington, West, Blackledge, Hodge/s, Overstreet, McDonald, McCarthy. If anyone would like to contact me: LHodge@NYCAP.RR.COM Thank You. Linda Hodge

Dear List, My little dilemma right now is trying to find the right B. Overstreet that is the father of Barthenia Overstreet-B. 1846/8-1930. Cuz Martha I think only you and I have enough courage to tackle this. Since we are both tackling Overstreet's. Barthenia has to be the daughter of Braswell Overstreet. But which Braswell O would that be? I do not see where she is mentioned in any of early Braswell Overstreet's that we have talked about. I am gonna have to go to the early MS Census and see if I see a B Overstreet listed. Let me know your thoughts on this one. Cuz Linda

: "Dave Blackledge" <dvb4@psu.edu> Hi Dave. I spoke to a Frances B. years ago but, do not know if this is your Frances. If I remember correctly her father was the Blackledge but, her mom was native American. Could this be your Frances? If so they are related to Alexander B. brother to my Zachariah B.
