                      DOCUMENTATION: Marriage License, Picture of Tombstone.  NOTE: Tombstone says "Widow of
                               Abraham"  Banks McLarin the "Bledsoe Authority" says it could only be a mistake as
                               she was definately married to Isaac & never did remarry.  Since she died near the
                               time that there was an epidemic it is most likely that the name was just carved
                               wrong.  She is buried only a few graves away from her daughter.  I have several
                               books with her name written in them.
                  CENSUS: 1850 Census with Daughter Julia & her husband Albert.  List as 60.
                               Also have copy of Isaac Bledsoe's will naming "Julia".  The writing looks like "Julian",
                               however.

                               When Lovisa married Isaac he was 19 years older than she.  Lovisa had to take on
                               11 children in the house that ranged in age from 20 to 1 year & she was only 27.
                               She was only 3 years older than Isaac's oldest child.

                   S. Bennett ben131@juno.com 2003-07-13 11:17:18 Her name was actually Julia. In the writing of her father's will the lawyer (or who ever wrote it) put a curve on the end of her name that made it look like an 'n'. I have several of her books that she wrote her name in. She was my GGGrandmother.
