Millie Bledsoe, daughter of Capt. William Bledsoe and his first wife Anne __, was born about 1714 in Northumberland County, Va. She was named in her father's will whereby she and her husband received a negro wench named Lucy, and also she received a one-seventh part of her father's estate after the death of her step-mother. In 1769 she married, probably in Culpeper County, George Wetherall (Weatherall, Witherall) son of John and Margaret Wetherall. . . . In 1770 [George Wetherall] was named as an executor of the will of his father-in-law, Capt. William Bledsoe, but "refused to take the burden of the execution." . . . On September 12, 1785, Millie Wetherall was a witness to the marriage of her niece Mary Bledsoe (a daughter of Rev. Aaron Bledsoe) to John Sams. (Orange County Marriage Register.)
[In the previous issue of the journal (p. 106), Templeton admits that he is simply following others with respect to Millie's birth date, as he has no other information.]
