Research Notes

Disputed Parents

Removed Anne (Jennings) Bledsoe as daughter of Edmund Jennings and Margaret (Barkham) Jennings in October 2022. This profile for Anne "Jennings", who is married to George Bledsoe, has no source for Anne's LNAB, birth, parents or marriage to George. More research is needed before we can connect Anne ____ Bledsoe as a daughter of Edmund Jennings and Margaret Barkham. Do we even have any proof that George married a woman named Anne??

Other discrepancies/notes:

1 This Anne is indicated as having been born in colonial Virginia - she could not have been the daughter of Edmund and Margaret simply because they never immigrated to Virginia.

2 Douglas Richardson, Magna Carta Ancestry, does have a daughter named Anne for Edmund and Margaret however she is not indicated as being born or having immigrated to Virginia. Nor is she shown by Richardson to be married to George Bledsoe.^[3][4]

3 Anne is NOT the daughter of Col Edmund Jennings (son of Edmund and Margaret Jennings) and his spouse Frances Corbin. Col Edmund Jennings and Frances did have a daughter named Anne, but she died in infancy in 1691.

If it is determined that this Anne was NOT a wife of George Bledsoe, the marriage should be removed and parents re-attached.
