Hi Mike, Bledsoe Holder was the son of John Holder and Agnes Bledsoe. He was born in SC or Surry CO NC. He married an Elizabeth Stewart, dau of George Stewart and Elizabeth Colbert. Both were known as Indians, at least 1/4. I think this branch of Stewart`s lived in the Miss territory beforte it was a State. Elizabeth Stewart Holder`s kids are on the Dawes Rolls, I think. People stated on the application to that her father was part Indian also or he lived with them. I have been following the Holder family for years.
