OK. I have some info you did not list for Benjamin and his family. How much of this you know, I cannot tell from your posting.

Benjamin Bledsoe, b. May 8, 1788, d. June 22, 1847
m. July 13, 1811, Franklin Co., NC to Malinda Terrell (note different spelling)

Malinda Terrell, b. Dec 11, 1784 in NC, d. Aug. 3, 1841
Yes, they both died and were buried in Talladega Co., AL

Benjamin was one of ten children of Rush Bledsoe and Sarah Jones. Rush Bledsoe, b. Abt. 1749, d. 1818 in Franklin Co., NC
m. btw, Feb 19, 1780 and Jan 6, 1781

Sarah Jones, b. 1755/74 per 1800 census
d. after her husband

Rush Bledsoe owned 640 ac. of land on Lyon's Creek, Bute Co., NC ("Bute Co., NC Land Grant Plats and Land Entries")

Rush's father was a George Bledsoe b. abt. 1713, d. 1777 in Bute Co., NC m. abt. 1744 to Jane Rush, b. abt. 1725, d. abt. 1809

Jane Rush's father was Benjamin Rush.

George Bledsoe was one of six children of Abraham Bledsoe and his first wife , Katherine Ball. George's oldest brother, Isaac Bledsoe is in my family line (H. Paul Bledsoe).

George was one of six children of George Bledsoe, the first recorded Bledsoe in America. There is lots of information on him in several publications and on the internet.

Does this help any?

I am about 95% sure of the above. If I were you, I would only use the above as a guideline to help you do your own research. But it does give you some places to look.

If you have questions on additional info needed, let me know.
