Lt. J. B. Blanding (August 5, 1841 – May 1, 1866), born Jabez Bullock Blanding, was a disabled combat veteran of the American Civil War and an agent of the Freedmen's Bureau in the United States who was assassinated by white Mississippians in Grenada, Yalobusha County in April 1866. Blanding was shot three times (twice in the head, once in the back) while on an evening walk. There is a 50-page file on the murder of Blanding in the records of the Freedmen's Bureau; the gunman was likely "Young" Tom Wilson, aided and abetted by local gang leader Bill Forrest (brother of Nathan Bedford Forrest). No one was ever charged with Blanding's murder, in part due to witness intimidation.
