Martha! Thanks for getting back to me. Our Fentress County Historical Society has a History Week and Roundup in April, and this year our theme is The Civil War in Fentress County. We want to identify as many of the graves of civil war soldiers as we can. Do you know where Willis Scott Bledsoe is buried? Did he live in Jamestown after the war? Seems you might have told me he was buried somewhere else. I know you sent in his information for our veterans book, but I don;t have that information near me. I knew you could help, and I don't know why I couldn't think of your name. Forgive!

Willis Scott Bledsoe died 12 Feb 1837 in Cleburne, Johnson County, Texas. He is buried in the Cleburne Memorial Cemetery. He moved to Texas some time after the war, around 1867. A daughter, Mary Alice (my great grandmother) was born in Tennessee in 1866 and a son, William Harrison, was born in Texas in 1869. Did he live in Jamestown after the war? I know that he had a law practice in Jamestown before the war (he was admitted to the bar in Jamestown in 1860). He obviously stayed in Tennessee for a while after the war, but I have no firm information that he stayed in Jamestown. Let me know if there is more needed. Your April event sounds interesting. Are you doing anything with the Champ Ferguson/Tinker Dave Beatty aspect of the war in Fentress County. Martha Genealogy - So many ancestors...so little time! On Jan 21, 2011, at 8:03 PM, Willie R.
