Bryce Templeton was a prolific researcher and genealogist. His work included extensive research of the Bledsoe Family in America, as his mother was a Bledsoe. His work on the Bledsoe Family was inherited by Banks McLaurin, who compiled a three volume set of spline-bound books. Every Bledsoe now living in America can find their roots in this set of books.
A summary of his book, "A Bledsoe Genealogy", can be found here:
