Hi, I am looking for a connection of my HOPKINS family to BLEDSOE. I have a Milton Bledsoe Hopkins and have been unable to find his ancestors. I have his descendants and know that his mother's name was Jane and his father's name may have been Joseph. I cannot find a marriage between the two. I have Bible records and information that has been passed down through the family but nothing on these parents. Here is what I have and am hoping something may tie into someone's Bledsoe family: Milton Bledsoe Hopkins was born in Nicholas Co., KY April 4, 1821. He moved from Nicholas Co... KY to Rush Co., IN. approx. at the age of 7, with his mother and a farmer whom she married (not Milton's father). Milton's father was a lawyer but I do not know anything else about him other than that he died when Milton was a very small child. Milton left home at the age of 15 to seek education. He became a lawyer, a Minister of the Christian Church and a prominent educator in the Indiana School System. He was Superintendent of Indiana Schools for two terms and served until his death at the age of 54 in 1874. Thanks to all of you on the list. I hope I have something I can share with someone on this list. Good hunting, Carolyn in KY
