Welcome

Today I am going to do something no one else will tell you, Don't buy DNA tests! They are a waste of money and they are a endless rabbit holes of failed dreams, Yes it can solve your riddle, but not you. You can buy a real test its the full sequence, And that test is the ONLY test you want to buy that will do the job, it is very expensive, but it is the only test that will not get you an email from the company saying you need to test deeper! DON'T DO IT.

Don't waste money on ancestry.com test or 23 and me tests. The Only tests I recommend are FTDNA full sequence tests

David--

Thank you for the reply to the 1776 Project and your activity. I enjoyed reading about the Long Hunters and Boone's Fort. You wrote a good story of part of the American Revolution.

Hi David! You reached out to ask me if I know anything new about the Bledsoe line, but unfortunately I'm just starting my geneaology journey and I know very little. George Bledsoe - the first record of the Bledsoe surname in the United States - is my 7th Great Grandfather.
posted by [deleted]
How do you know that, give me your last known bledsoe to be alive.
posted by David Martin
I'm Jason Matthew Bledsoe. Please help me. My father was Raymond c bledsoe. I was born in whiteville nc. I know very little. I moved to Tennessee. Coffee county. There's hundreds of bledsoe here but I dnt know if we are related. My sister Linda Michelle Bledsoe Thomas did 23&me test. She sent me all her DNA and her findings. Please help

Are you related to the Richard Exeter line? On ancestry and according to my Grandads hand made family tree from like 40 years ago. I’m related to the martins of athelhampton from the second wife of William Martin/martyns son Richard.

Hello David:

I think we are a Martin DNA match. I've been looking to connect our ancestor Absalom Decatur Martin with his long lost family... I suspected they came from Virginia as I have found several other DNA Martin matches who trace to Virginia, but lost the branch from which they came. I made an accident on my tree that led me to a Captain Thomas Martin, father of Pleasant Martin, whom I've found in countless searches for my own Absalom and alleged father named Samuel Martin. My Absalom was born circa 1772 in Abbeville, SC. The only possible geographic Martins in that area I can find would be Charles Caffrey Martin, who would have been his father. Looking at descendants of these line and the many many DNA matches on GED, I believe this is the father of my Absalom. You share a DNA match with another David (Martin) Lindsey) on here, whom you said you matched with. So by reason of inference, I assume you and I are of the same tree as he is of mine... I am not very good at Wikitree and use mostly Ancestry. My GED kit# AL5646119 and dad's # XU7919291 --since the other David (Martin) Lindsey matches both my dad and me, either you probably about 10 generations back, from the same line, or we just have a strong enough Martin DNA pattern that it carries through. I'd love the opportunity to exchange thoughts and information. My email is [email address removed] Yours sincerely, Albert Fox

Well, I haven't actually done much with my own line. I did the DNA, But its a rabbit hole. unless its big Y. And I got burned out on the whole thing. So kind of waiting on People like you to come looking, it takes time for this to work.
posted by David Martin
Your name comes up in my DNA report. I don't really know? My tree on them in my opinion in my opinion is lost in the civil war, before that not sure about anything. Haven't messed with gedmatch in years. But it sounds like something.

And I suspected That we are martin's from athehampton. They Were allied in the Church with Warwick and Richard. They were only gentry. But they advised Warwick.

Hi David,

You could add a 1776 sticker to Isaac Shelby who had land where the Battle of King's Mountain occurred. I did not find your ancestor yet. By the way the two sources you sent to me, are a log in for one site, and the other is information about a creek. You will need a source that actually says Isaac was in the Revolution.Thanks for contacting me..

Be sure to add the Civil War Sticker below the Biography line.

I gave my copy of the Bledsoe to man on wikitree, King. He is working on those profiles. But if you want that line, its these people. I know something you don't know. Not all were, Scots irish. The Bledsoe brothers, had a fort in NC, This was at the time of coming war.

THEY MUSTERED THE MILITIA. Of the over the mountain men who won the revolution.

Comprised of Some of the most seasoned indian fighters at the time. My grandfather Thomas Bledsoe, He was killed shortly after the revolution, in an indian attack on that very fort in NC. While his brothers had moved into Tennessee, to survey the new borders of Tennessee. This is the ttime they became the longhunters. So this was the men who took the over the mountain men to fight the british.

They knew the area behind What was called (Kings mountain) That Plantation was documented in his will, Because it was their fathers land. It was known as the Thomas Ball plantation. The boys grandfather. Now you know, how, they knew how to come from that land, to route Ferguson. They left no prisoners. As was they Indian fighter way. ps: Now my Family new boone well, fought with him at kings mountain, My uncle anthony spent a year at Boones fort with his family when his own Fort in Tennessee was burned out in a 4 day battle with hostiles. Boone was a long hunter, And why. Because of that fort,  A fort was a salt lick a water source and walls. TO FEED A FORT, YOU NEED A LOT of meat. So Boone and some men would go far away and hunt. They would take the hides and stretch them and store them in hide houses. They took the salted meat in barrels to the fort, back and forth.

Any man from the community could go. They would get credit in the store for their hides and meat. Well my family invented that. The Bledsoe had two forts in Tennessee At the same time Boone was doing the same thing in kentucky.

The longhunters.

I may as well tell you as well, Issac Shelby did have land, but Abraham Bledsoe bought and passed on the Thomas ball estate, when Abraham Bledsoe married Katherine Ball.

Now it's his will in this site, as well as the discripcetion of that property, That property is the backside of the kings mountain, Abraham Bledsoe was the man tarringtin threatens to burn his house down. The over the mountain men are his son's, Issac and Anthony Bledsoe. Anthony being the first commander of the miltita formed to come over the mountain and fight the British. Now I know history, and now you know history. My family are the scots Irish over the mountain men.

Thank you for your offer of help. I have uploaded my DNA to GEDmatch and entered the number on wikitree. Slow going for me. I have limited time.

For everyone. Have you found anything.

Thanks for you comment. I am taking this tree slow. I've been researching my tree on ancestry and family search for about 5 years. Watching utube to get more education. Have decided to start back at the bottom to reconfirm my sources and break through brick walls. I've taken 23andme and ancestry dna tests. You may view my public RobertsClarke tree on ancestry. Advice is appreciated. Thanks. Mary

Dave,

Thanks for the interesting post regarding Douglas connections. I knew that you had Bledsoe connections. A very prominent family in middle Tennessee.
