Hi Roger, I don't know the answer to this one. I have never heard or read anything about a Bladen orphanage. The Musselwhites were equally visible in Robeson County. You didn't give me any dates so I can't check other sources for you.

Do you show a C. H. Musselwhite? Charles Musselwhite? Roger L. Davis
