Diane, I visited The Old Shiloh Cemetery twice recently with Jim and we saw a lot of Bledsoe family graves there.I have practiced Dentistry in Mesquite and have treated the George Bledsoe family for several years.They are a wonderful family.George died about ten years ago and he is buried there.His wife, Bernice, has remarried and lives in the Madras area now. In looking back at census records,it appears that the bledsoe family lived next to my Watsons back in 1880.
