it was a pleasure meeting everyone, and enjoying the wonderful scenery and weather. here's a suggestion re the cemeteries.....perhaps at next reunion, we could pick one and all go out there and pitch in. I think a stem cleaner would do wonders for some of the headstones, and we could hire a high school boy to do the yard work. If I were back there I'd do it myself! See you sson. Joanna Bledsoe. also....I think someone needs to get a mailing list of all the Bledsoes...)(Savages, Muses, Lockes, etc, and send out invitations for the next "do")

Joanna: First, we would like to welcome you into our Chestnut Ridge Cousin organization and it was good meeting you. The above suggestion is a possibility. I hope I can work on them some this winter myself, if I can round up some help from somewhere. Maybe, we also need to start a little cemetery restoration fund and have it earmarked as such. <bp> I think a stem cleaner > would do wonders for some of the headstones, and we could hire a high school > boy to do the yard work.

I sent out messages on GenForum to around a dozen surname sites. I would like to enlist your help in gettin the message out to all the names you mentioned. I have ties to the Chestnut Ridge Bledsoes and Muse. There is also a connection to the Lockes through our Whorley family. <bp> Bobby Prosser prossergenealogy@comcast.net > > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >
