My father's middle name was Blackwell. He was SAM BLACKWELL HARRIS, b. 17 January in Danville, Morgan Co, AL. I am wondering whom he was named for. There must have been an admirable Mr. Blackwell in Danville at that time. Sam's parents were James Sylvanus Harris and Mary Elizabeth Tatom. Do you have any explanation? This name never appears again in our family, so it is significant. Jack Harris
