2401 SOURCE: "The Bledsoe Family", by Banks McLaurin, Jr. 3-8-1982

"Caveliers and Pioneers" (BK#843), p.263, it is found that a George Bletsoe is listed as a headright of Col. hugh Gwin on Dec. 6, 1652. Unlike other Bledsoe entries, this name does persist. This seems to be the George Bledsoe who founded the Northumberland family and whos descendants had a part in shaping the course of American history throughout the south and west. Col. Hugh Gwin apparently made more than one trip from England to America as "Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight" (BK#845), p. 678 shows: Elizabeth Gwin, 700 acres, March 23, 1664, due as extrx. of Hugh Gwin who patented land March 3, 1640.

It is not known what part of England this George Bledsoe may have come from but he was brought to Virginia by Hugh Gwin who must have had a base of operations at some English port where he assembled groups to come with him to America. If the name of Gwin's home port and the name of his ship could be found it might provide a good starting place from which to trace this George Bledsoe and find his connection with the English Bledsoes.

This is the only place where George as a first name for a Bledsoe has been found in the records of the English family. But the name George does show as George Bledsoe who left a will dated Jan. 23, 1704/5 in Northumberland County, Virginia. Some have assumed that the George Bledsoe of 1652 is the same George Bledsoe who left the will in 1704/5, but when the few available records are carefully examined, it seems that there must have been two George Bledsoes, very probably father and son.

There is no record of the birth of the George Bledsoe who left a will, but a study of that will and other records seems tio indicate that he must have been born about 1655. Then there is a Sarah Bledsoe who has been "positively identified" as a daughter of George Bledsoe (which one not stated) who married Thomas Dameron who was born in 1650. It has been generally assumed that she was the daughter of the George Bledsoe who left the will in 1704/5 but niether she nor her children were named in that will. Generally when a man had grandchildren, he referred to them in his will even though his daughter may have died before the will was written or may have received her share of the estate when she married.

A genealogy of the Dameron family by Mrs. Helen Foster Snow, (BK#846), shows that a Thomas Dameron, son of Lwrence and Dorothy Dameron, ion Northumberland County, married Sarah Bledsoe, daughter of George Bledsoe. This Thomas Dameron has been frequently listed as Junior, but his father was Lawrence and there was no other Thomas Dameron in that area untill later. This Thomas had brothers and a sister, all born between 1645 and 1656, but his birth is shown as 165_, as the record was not clear ("Tyler"((BK#659)) Vol.23, p. 122). However it seems clear from the other dates that his birth must have been in 1650. As most young men in the early colonies married women very near their own age, it can be assumed that Thomas Dameron who was born in 1650 married a woman only a few years younger than himself, probably born about 1653.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Page 5) In his will of 1704/5 George Bledsoe noted that he had land adjoining that of Thomas Dameron Senior, and the will was witnessed by one who signed himself Thomas Dameron Junior. Thomas Dameron and Sarah Bledsoe had only two sons, Charles and Andrew, but Thomas' brother George who married Elizabeth _________ had a son Thomas born in 1683. This Thomas was then called Junior to destinguish him from his uncle, which was a common practice at the time. This younger Thomas became 21 years old in 1704 and then was legallly able to sign as a witness to George Bledsoe's will. This younger Thomas Dameron later had the title of Colonel and was also called Senior after he had a son Thomas.

The name of George Bledsoe shows up several times after 1652. For Instance:


From the "Minutes of the Council and General Court of Virginia", (BK#847), p.318.


"At a Genll Court holden at James City the 8th November 1672. Afternoone. Ransom vs Bledshaw defdant about a parcel of land of Nine Hundred and fifty Acres in Northumberland County on teh North Side of Devideing Creeke. It is Ordered that a Jury by the Sherriffe of the County be impannelled as neare as Can be to said Land, who are to Enquire whether that Land was seated or Deserted by Peter Ransom ffather to the said James within due time according to his Pattent and returne their Report thereof under their hands to the 3d Day of the Next Genll Court for Judgement."

"At a Genll Court held at James Citty the 12th March 1672/3 Ransom vs Blettsoe. It is Ordered by Consent of the Plaintiff & Defendant James Ransom and Geo: Blettsoe that the Cause of last Court refferred to this be Continued and Refference to the Third Day of the next Genll Court in September to which Court the Juries Vrdt as by that ord is to be returned for Judgmt."

It would seem from that that George Bledsoe had attempted to take possession of land that James Ransom claimed had been left to him by his father Peter Ransom. The vedrdict of the jury does not show.

"Duval (Northumberland Co Records)", (BK #848) lists several references to George Bledsoe. p.4. On Jan. 10, 1679 there was a suit between George Bledsoe and John Harris, John Waddy and Thomas Ingram. p.6. This suit was still pending April 20, 1681. On June 16, 1681 there was another suit by Ann Gaylord, administratrix of James Gaylord, deceased, vs George Bledsoe. p.10. In 1687 George Bledsoe was appointed with Mr. John Curtis and Henry Butler to be surveyors of highways, and p.23, on July 27, 1689, on the petition of Mary, widow of Capt. Richard Lynsfield, deceased, probate to her of his last will by the oaths of Thomas Winter and George Bledsoe. Then the "Genealogical Bureau of Virginia", (BK#849), shows that on May 20, 1691, Mrs. Anne Bledsoe acknowledged a deed made by her husband, George Bledsoe, to Thomas Dameron for 60 acres of land, and finally in the Northumberland Co., Record Book 1706-1710 is found the will of George Bledsoe dated Jan. 23, 1704/5 and proved Aug. 15, 1705.

A George Bledsoe came to Virginia Dec. 6, 1652 as a headright. The records do not show when or where he was born or married or where he claimed his land, but the fact that he was a headright seems to be sufficient justification for saying that he was at least 21 years old when he arrived. If this George Bledsoe was already 21 years old in 1652, it does not seem that he would have had a son in 1697 when he was at least 66 years old, but the will of 1704/5 names a son Thomas, who was not then21, who still had to be kept in school for three years, who was to be allowed to live and work on his brother William's farm until the age of 21. This Thomas seems to have reached his majority in 1718 when he was arrested and fined for not going to church. If he reached the age of 21 in 1718, he was born in 1697.

The other four sons named in the will were all 21 years or older in 1704/5 because they were all old enough to own land in their own names. It may then be assumed that they were not born after 1683, and it does not seem that they were born very much before that date, so using the generally accepted figure of two years between births it can be said that they were born in 1683, 1681, 1679, and 1677.

The great majority of young men of that day seem to have married when they reached the age of 21 and had first child at the age of 22. If the first child in this family was born in 1677, when the father was 22 years old, then the father must have been born in 1655 and could not have been the headright of 1652.

The will of 1704/5 names five sons but no daughters. If there had been a daughter in the family, it seems srange that niether she, her husband nor her children were mentioned in the will. If Sarah Bledsoe belonged to this family and if she had been the oldest child, she would have been born about 1675 which would have made her 25 years younger than the man she married. There are few cases on record where a man married, as his second wife, a girl much younger than himself, but there is nothing to indicate that Thomas Dameron was married more that once. This Sarah Bledsoe Dameron had sons as old if not older than the sons of George Bledsoe who died in 1704/5 as the records ("Fleet-Northumbria Collectenea") (BK#850) show that Cahrles and Andrew Dameron (sons of Thomas and Sarah Bledsoe Dameron) were presented in court for not going to church in Wicomico Parish May19, 1714, the same date on which John Bledsoe (son of George 1704/5) was presented on the same charge. It does not seem that Sarah could have been the daughter of this George Bledsoe, but as she was the daughter of a George Bledsoe, there must have been another of that name.

George Bledsoe, the headright, left England without leaving a trace of himself. Why? Did he leave because of religious persecution? or to avoid prosecution for something more serious? If he ahd been arrested and convicted for some violation of the law, there should be a record of him in England. Whatever the reason, no record of him has been found. If his reason was objection to religious persecution and a desire for more freedom to worship than he was allowed in England, it shows that he was not a conformist and was willing to do something to get what he wanted. This may have made him somewhat of an obstreperous young man so that when he got to America he tried to grab land that he wanted, which led to arguments and lawsuits with his neighbors, such as the one with james Ransom in 1672 and the suits with John Harris in 1679 and with Ann Gaylord in 1681. The suit of 1679 was still pending on April 20, 1681. Then no further record until 1687 when George Bledsoe with others was appointed a surveyor of highways.

It is possible that the George Bledsoe who had so much trouble with his neighbors may have died not long after 1681, and that his son George may have been a more moderate man with a desire to get along with those living near him, and was the one who in 1681 was considered a respectable, responsible citizen and was appointed surveyor of highways.

There is no record to suggest who or when George Bledsoe, the headright, married but it seems that he must have been the father of Sarah Bledsoe who was born about 1653 and of George Bledsoe who was born about 1655.

While it has been assumed by many of the family historians that the George Bledsoe who died in 1705 was the father of the Bledsoe family in America, the few known facts, such as the arrival in 1652 of a George Bledsoe who could not have been the one who died in 1705 leaving a son only seven years old, and the existence of agirl, Sarah, daughter of a George Bledsoe and wife of Thomas dameron, who could not have been the daughter of a man who died in 1705, seem to provide evidence that the George Bledsoe who arrived in 1652 was the first of the family here.

The known facts about George Bledsoe are as follows:

Bk. #843. Nugent's, Cavaliers and Pioneers, p. 263:George Bletsoe is listed as a headright of Col. Hugh Gwin on 6 Dec 1652>

Bk. #846. The Dameron/Damron Family Genealogy, by Mrs. Helen Foster Snow states that Thomas Dameron in Northumberland Co., VA, married Sarah Bledsoe, daughter of George Bledsoe. This Thomas Dameron was born 165-, per Bk #659, Tyler's Quarterly, vol. 23, p. 122.

Bk. #847. Minutes of the Council and General Court of Virginia, p. 318, states that at a General Court held at James City on 8 Nov 1672, James Ransom filed suit against George Bledshaw about a parcel of land of 950 ac. in Northumberland Co on the north side of Dividing Creek. (See Introduction, p.5) this suit was continued on 12 Mar 1672/3 (see Introduction p.5)

Bk. #848. Duval's Northumberland Co (VA) Records, p. 4, lists a suit between George Bledsoe and John Harris, John Waddy and Thomas Ingram. p. 6. states that this suit was still pending 20 April 1681. On 16 Jun 1681 there was another suit styled Ann Gaylord, administratrix of James Gaylord, deceased, vs. George Bledsoe, on p. 10. In 1687, George Bledsoe was appointed with John Curtis and Henry Butler tol be surveyors of a highway. On p. 23, on 27 July 1689 Mary Lynsfield petitions that the will of her husband, Capt.Richard Lynsfield be admitted to probate on the oaths of Thomas Winter and George Bledsoe. (see Introduction p. 5)

Bk. #849, Genealogical Bureau of Virginia, shows that on May 1691, Mrs Anne Bledsoe acknowledged a deed made by her husband, George Bledsoe to Thomas Dameron for 60 ac. of land. this is found on p. 28, Northumberland Co., VA deed book 7. The consideration was 6000 pounds of tobacco and the tract lay on the south side of Great Wicomico river near Dividing Creek. The deed is dated 13 may 1691.

The last reference to George Bledsoe in the records is his will which is on a seperate page. His widow's will is also given on a page from john T. Bledsoe's book, #1910, Bledsoe Family Supplement. Following the will of Geroge Bledsoe are some comments by Bryce Templeton.

Sr. Henry Watkins:
The first record that I have found of Henry WATKINS is the following 1809 deed of 100 acres of land to him in then Pendleton District, SC, later Pickens, now Oconee Co. While he was described in this deed as "of Pendleton District, " I have not located his name in the 1810 census of South Carolina or North Carolina. His age in 1810 would have been at least 30, and he had one son, Hesket Watkins, who was born in North Carolina about 1805. Other known children were born in South Carolina. It might be possible that he was in Georgia in 1810, but no census survives for Georgia for that year.

1809 Jul 19 -- Christian Sloan of Pendleton District, SC, sold 100 acres to Henry WATKINS of Pendleton District for $100.00, plantation or tract of land where he now lives, at John Cobb's line in the head of a branch near Tallant's old field, thence to a Ridge Path till it crosses said Cobb's line

2410 Speculation about the birthplace and ancestry of John Page has been the subject of extensive research. One Page family researcher (Charles Edward Page of Oneida, New York) believes John is the son of Thomas Page and Cicely (surname unknown) who were wed October 4, 1607 in Rattlesden, Suffolk, England. John their presumed son was born in Worlingham, Norfolk, England.
-
One possible immigration theory states that John, age 21, may have arrived on a ship with the family of George & Elizabeth Marsh, natives of Ipswich, England. It is believed they debarked at Charlestown, Massachusetts on June 4, 1635. At that time the Rev. Peter Hobart was leading a group of Puritan families from the Hingham, Norfolk County area of England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
-
By 1640 the group settled southeast of Boston harbor at a place they later named Hingham, after their hometown in England. The church in Hingham, over which Peter Hobart presided, is known as the "Old Ship Church", now an ancient edifice, famous for it's unique construction. The interior beams resembling ship construction.
-
There is a Page bridge, presumed built by John, and a Page meadows in Hingham. It seems probable that John was a skilled carpenter and may have been indentured to George Marsh, Mary's father, for a few years until he was admitted as a freeman on October 8, 1640 at the age of 26.
-
John signed Petitions to General Court on November 11, 1645 and November 4, 1646. John may also have been involved in the controversy over the Hingham militia company commander (Lt Eames vs Lt Allen), as he was fined 15s 5d for insubordination, but relieved of the fine after a plea of poverty. Pastor Hobart and nearly one hundred "rebels" were called before the Massachusetts General Court and found at fault after a protracted session. The pastor refused to pay his fine whereupon his fine was increased and he was suspected of having encouraged a 1646 Petition to the Court for the "abolition of the distinctions which were maintained here, both in civil and church estate". These "distinctions" concerned the authority of the magistrates and the liberty of the people. The quarrel was harmful to the town of Hingham and some people moved away. The "feeling of unity was destroyed but in general the people defended their pastor".
-
John along with others including his brother-in-law Onesiphorus Marsh later removed from Hingham to Haverhill, north of Boston, in about 1646, near the border of what later became the Province of New Hampshire.
-
Haverhill was a frontier settlement full of dangers at the time John moved there. The settlement was established, in 1640, by Rev. John Ward and others from Newbury, Massachusetts. The land was purchased from the Indians November 15, 1642. The lands later extended to include a large area. The new town was incorporated in 1645, had 32 landholders, and was named in memory of Haverhill, England, John Ward's birthplace.
-
John's wife Mary stayed in Hingham with her widowed mother until her mother married Richard Bowen.
-
John's lot in Haverhill consisted of about 16 acres and fronted the Merrimac River, on Water St., east of Main Street.
-
John took the oath of allegiance at Haverhill May 9, 1669. It is probable he was the John Page, Senior, listed among voters in 1683 concerning the site of a new meeting house at Haverhill. John had voted to build the meeting house on the same site as the existing one, as noted in Chase's History of Haverhill, Massachusetts and in "History of Haverhill, Since Settlement, in 1640", Chapter XI 1675-1688, Pages 137-138.
-
John and Mary are buried at the "Old Pentucket" burial ground in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Administration of John's estate was granted to his grandson, Thomas Page, March 12, 1722, and the estate was finally divided in November, 1723. In this latter year most, if not all, the children of John Page were dead. He had been dead 36 years when his estate was finally settled. 
PAGE, John (I6084)
 
2411 Speculation about the death dates of Florence and Charles being before the 1920 census, is the fact their children show up with Florence's widowed sister Elsie Bender on both the 1920 and 1930 censuses.
The flu epidemic of the early 1900's may account for the deaths of Florence, Charles, and Elsie's husband Gordon Bender.
Evidence of the actual causes is unknown at this time (Sept. 2003).

2416 Stephen died at Whitehall, New York, Dec 27, 1831, age 83 years, 8 mos, 20 days.

2417 Stephen Freeman, born approximately 1620, probably in England, arrived in New Haven, Connecticut, about 1635, bought a "home lot", and married Hannah Astwood, daughter of Captain John Astwood and his wife, Martha Carter. Stephen Freeman and his father-in-law, John Astwood, removed from New Haven and became two of the "Seven Pillars" (founders) of Milford, Connecticut.

John Astwood returned to England as the representative of the Connecticut Colony to the court of the King of England. John died in Aberthy, England, and his will mentions his mother and brother, both living in Aberthy, England. For more about John Astwood, see Appendix B.

Stephen and his wife, Hannah removed from Milford, Connecticut, and became among the first settlers and founders of what is now Newark, New Jersey. A map of the "Town of New Ark in the State of New Jersey", shows the property of Stephen Freeman.

The family moved West and North in the State of New Jersey, living for several generations in Morristown and other locations in Morris County, New Jersey.

There has been speculation that Stephen was a son of Edmund Freeman, a passenger on the Mayflower, but there is no evidence to prove this connection.

====================
AUNT SUSAN MAHOLM.
------------
One of the Very Early Settlers of Shelby County Dead.
------------
Susan Maholm, wife of John Maholm, died at her home No. 71 Colescott street, at five o'clock a.m., Monday, July 17, of senility, aged eighty-eight years. She was the daughter of Nathan and Susan Goodrich. She was born in Belmontio, and came to Shelby county, Indiana, when a child. Her father served in the war of the Revolution. Funeral services will be held at the house at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 18th, Elder H. H. Nesslage officiating. Interment in the City cemetery. Funeral in charge of Edwards & Hageman.

------------

The above is a brief outline of one of the noted characters of Shelby county. Mrs. Maholm for years has been called "Aunt Susan" many persons not knowing her by any other name. She was the last survivor of the noted Indian scoutsr of 1776, her mother, Susan Whetzel, having been a sister of Cyrus, Lewis and Jacob Whetzel, men who fought their way to fame in the war of the Revolution, two of them afterward blazing the track that led the early settlers into what is now Shelby county, a story familiar to most of our readers.
Nathan Goodrich, her father, was a Connecticut Yankee and was a member of the Second Connecticut Volunteers in the war of 1776. In that war he met the Whetzels and they became firm friends and allies, messing together and carrying onk in behalf of the struggling colonists. When peace was finally declared Mr. Goodrich, who was still a young man, went home with the Whetzels where he met their sister Susan and married her. While a girl the father of Susan Whet- [there is at least one line of type missing here-PMF]
these events causing Cyrus Whetzel to pursue every Indian he found until his death. The other brothers blazed a track through the wilderness from Virgina[sic] to the bluffs of White river where they settled. When this portion of Indiana was secured from the Delaware Indians the Whetzel trail was followed by William Goodrich and his family and with him came his parents, Nathan and Susan Goodrich. William Goodrich had purchased the land that now includes Forest Hill cemetery and his cabin was built a little to the left and east of the Vine street bridge. His parents lived for a number of years and both are buried in the old part of the City cemetery.
Aunt Susan grew to woman hood in Shelby county, which has been her home since the winter of 1820. She was one of the three remaining pioneers who were present when the county was organized and when this place was named. Much of her le strange than fiction and columns could be written concerning her. During the war she lived in West Shelby township where she did much to encourage men to enlist in the service. She regarded slavery as a crime and would have been perfectly willing to have enlisted to help put it down. Her character was such a positive quantity that when she said any thing during those stirring times every man understood what she meant and she was not deterred in any way in carrying forward her wishes. She was masculine in disposition as well as physical make up but possessed a heart as tender as that of a child when mercy and kindness were demanded. She was plain and blunt spoken and she never had occasion to tell any person more than one time what she meant. She will be buried beside her parents.

-

Nathan served in the Revolutionary War.
He enlisted in March or April 1782 in Sharon, Litchfield Co., Connecticut, where he was living at the time.
He was first a member of Benjamin Conklin's Company. He then served under Captains Stacy, Colford, and Humphrey, Colonel Swift's Regiment, until June, 1873 when he transfered to Captain Jonathan Hart's Company, in which he served until late August, 1783.

Nathan and several family member appear on the 1820 Franklin Co., Indiana census.
His daughter Ruth (Goodrich) Kelly and her husband Asa Kelly were living nearby with their 3 children.

Nathan was indicated as an early settler of Shelby Co., Indiana, having settled there in 1821
(Chadwick's history of Shelby County, Indiana, p. 59). 
GOODRICH, Nathan Delano (I16875)
 
2430 The "dit" names have an interesting origin. The English translation of "dit" is "said". The Colonists of Nouvelle France added "dit" names as distinguishers. A settler might have wanted to differentiate their family from their siblings by taking a "dit" name that described the locale to which they had relocated ( ex: since the Colonists followed the customs of the French feudal system, land was divided amongst the first born sons [primogeniture] . Soon there was not enough land to divide any further.

Perhaps an adventurous younger son would decide to establish himself, with or without a family, in another area... say a fertile piece of land near some streams... he might add des ruisseaux (streams/creeks/rivulets) to distinguish himself from his brothers. When he married,or died, his name might be listed as Houde dit DesRuisseaux, or Desruisseau(s).

The acquiring of a "dit" name might also be the result of a casual adoption, whereby the person wanted to honor the family who had raised them.
