Does anyone have any info on the Maria Blackburn (1846-1896) buried in the Rogers Cemetery? I've seen to lost the trail of my Blackburns. Here is what I have: Andrew J. BLACKBURN b. 20 or 30 Oct 1845 in Franklin Co, IN (this is next to OH) to William BLACKBURN and Susan BO(U)LTON, both born in TN. Info from the family Bible. Can't tell if it's a 20 or 30. He married Maria (spelled as Mariah on the marriage) SMELTZER on 7 Dec 1871 in Hamilton Co, IN. It appears as if her parents are John SMELTZER (also spelled as Smelser and Schmelzer) and Mary (census work: 1860 Hamilton Co, IN). Andrew and Maria are on the 1880 Richardson Co NE census (with initials only). She had 2 children: Frank T. or J. BLACKBURN (b. 1874 IN) and Oliver Perry "Perry" BLACKBURN (b. 1876 IN). Maria was born c. 1845 in IN with both parents born in PA. From 1882-1895, Andrew J. BLACKBURN and his wife Maria are buying and selling land in Holt Co. MO, as that is were many of this Blackburn family migrated to. I can't find Andrew or Maria in the 1900 Federal Census. I can find both sons in Los Angeles Co, CA, however. I found an Andrew J. Blackburn on the 1910 Los Angeles Co CA census, born c. 1847, but in OH (and both parents OH). He is on marriage 2, to Elizabeth J. and they have been married only 12 years. So, I looked for an Andrew J. Blackburn, born in OH on the 1900 census. There was and Andrew J. with Elizabeth, married only 3 years in Benton Co, AR. Andrew J. was born Oct 1845. This matches the family Bible date. But, in order for this to be my Andrew, his wife Maria had to die before 1897. So I searched the Benton Co, AR USGenWeb site and found a Maria Blackburn in the Rogers Cemetery, who died in 1896 and was born in 1846. This is pretty close to the census info. So, I want to know who exactly was this Maria Blackburn who is buried in Rogers Cemetery in Benton Co, AR. Does anyone out there know? Thank you very much! Sincerely, Cheri Mello
