Bledsoe family.

Sophia McIlvaine Bledsoe Herrick (1857-1919) was born in Ohio, the daughter of a mathematics professor, Albert Taylor Bledsoe, who taught at the Universities of Mississippi and Virginia. She married Rev. James Burton Herrick in 1860, but they separated in 1868 over his interest in the Oneida Community. With her three children, she went to Baltimore to head her father's girls' school, and was later an editor of The Southern Review, Scribner's Monthly, and Century Magazine.
