Information on Loving Bledsoe

From Ancestry.com post:

The Hollow, which had the heaviest settlement in Rowan County, was where John Stewart and Susanna started married life. This would be where their first child, David, was born about 1761. Susanna's son by her first marriage, Loving Bledsoe, was about six years old. It is likely that John and Susanna went to Halifax County, Virginia, approximately the time when her father, Frederick Fulkerson, did. In 1761 Susanna's father was buying land in Halifax County . John and Susanna, with Loving and David, probably moved to Halifax County, Virginia, in late 1761 or early 1762. However, John and Susanna would not stay on in Halifax County as Frederick Fulkerson did.
