From "History of Buchanan County, Missouri, Published 1881, St. Joseph Steam Printing Company, Printers, Binders, Etc., St. Joseph, Missouri.
Peter Bledsoe, farmer, section 24, post office Edgerton. He was born in Illinois, March 15, 1818, and reared a farmer. His parents emigrated to Boone County, Missouri in 1819; thence to Jackson County, then Cald- well, then Clinton, thence to the Platte Purchase, settling in Buchanan County in 1837, on Rock House Prairie, where he now resides. By his own prudence and good management he has secured 490 acres of land, all of which is under fence and in a good state of cultivation. He married Miss Elizabeth Drake in 1849. She was born in Ray County, Missouri in 1818. By this marriage they had five children: Julia Ann, John, Nancy, William, Peter O. Magee. They are all dead except Peter O. Magee. Mrs. Bledsoe died in 1862. He was married, November 22, 1864, to Mrs. Barshaw, widow of Jefferson Botts. She had by her first husband seven children: James W., born September 25, 1849; George H., born April 6, 1851 and died in 1869; Richard E., born March 7, 1853; John, born December 22, 1854; Nancy A., born June 29, 1859 and died in 1860; Jefferson, born January 9, 1862; Benjamin F., born April 25, 1863. By her marriage with Mr. Bledsoe they were blessed with three children: Robert E.L., born December 5, 1865; Joseph E. J., September 19, 1867; and Beauregard, September 15, 1869. Mr. Bledsoe was a member of the Pawpaw Militia, in 1861. He has been a hard working man, and has generally enjoyed a prosperous life. In 1861, however, he was so unfortunate as to lose his eyesight, since which time he has had to feel his way around over the farm by use of a cane, and when he goes from home has to depend upon his children, or affectionate wife, to guide his steps. He does not complain, but accepts the situation, and seems to enjoy life in his present afflicted condition.
