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
