Bledsoe Jackson Warden Connection
Oh what tangled webs we weave?
I need help with the following family, which is an understatement.
William Rufus Robert Jackson (18?-18?)Charlotte Temple Bledsoe (1832-1912)
Marriage date 11/16/1852 (Surry County, NC)
Their daughter Malissa Jayne Jackson (11/?/1855) and
William Thomas Franklin Bledsoe (10/?/1850-10/17/1872) (Marriage date ?) (My GGrandparents)
Their son William Robert Bledsoe (4/06/1879-09/09/1962) and
Nancy Ellen Draughn (10/25/1889)-(05/25/1965) (Marriage date ?)(My Grandparents)
Their daughter Elza Verona Bledsoe (03/23/1910) (02/27/2000) and
Charlie Earlie Bowman (08/17/1912)-(04/02/2000) (Marriage date 06/06/1942) (My Parents)
Charlotte Temple Bledsoe Jackson and William I. Warden (1845-1912 or 1914)
Marriage date 11/?/1867 (Surry County, NC) (Day could be 10th or 18th)
Their son Riley Henderson Warden...
In all my research I have been unable to find any information on the Jackson side of this family, it's almost like they didn't exist.My family never spoke of them.
Growing up, I could never get a straight answer as to how we were kin to the Wardens. I just remember visiting with the Warden family in Bluefield and Montcalm, WVA.I also remember staying in the home of Sally (Warden) and Henry Brown.I also remember Tom Warden.I believe they were children of Riley Henderson Warden, son of Charlotte and William I. Warden.
Let’s go back to CharlotteTemple Bledsoe Jackson Warden.Charlotte was the daughter
of Lewis Bledsoe and Mary Minor Marsh Bledsoe.Their son and Charlotte’s brotherJonathan Bledsoe and Lucinda Ann (Lucy) Jenkins Bledsoe were the parents of William Thomas Franklin Bledsoe who married Malissa Jayne, the daughter of Charlotte and William R Jackson.
I said it was a tangled web and confusing, I know.But, does anyone have any information they would share, especially concerning William Rufus Robert Jackson, Charlotte and the Warden family?
Thank you in advance.You can post here, or email me at redoakfarmhouse@aolcom.
