Miriam, I'll make the copy at school tomorrow. Cheri

Cheri, I 'm a real packrat and would love to have your gfather's "map". Miriam Blackburn 3008 Lake Park Circle Birmingham, AL 35242 Thanks

Does anyone know if there's an agency or organization for the Blackburn family from Lancashire England? BRAD

Thanks for trying to be sure things are right- it is hard enough to do research without the brick walls of mis-information. My main source isTHE BENJAMIN BLACKBURN FAMILY and notes on BLACKBURNS IN AMERICA by W.A Challacombe, 1942. Mr. Challacombe was a descendant of Benjamin Blackburn. I have also found several biographical sketches of Rev. Gideon and family history too. Gideon Blackburn did have a son John Newton who was a Presbyterian minister in that area of KY. I have the impression from things I have found in both TN and KY that the Blackburns of whatever stripe tended to call each other "cousin" even when they were not really blood kin. Miriam Blackburn

Thanks for the note about Gideon Blackburn. Both the Railey history and a more recent study by Melvin Hurst of the Fayette County Genealogical Society show Gideon as the son of Edward and Anne. They say he had a child named John Newton Blackburn who was born in Woodford County, KY and that he was active in the Presbyterian ministry in Versailles and surrounding area. I forwarded a copy of your note to Mr. Hurst, in hopes he will correct any error.

Thanks for the Wm. Blackburn info. it is helpful. However, the Rev. Gideon Blackburn was not a son of this family. Gideon was a son of Robert Blackburn and Margaret Richey of Tennessee. Robert was a son of Benjamin and Mary Blackburn. I think Mr. Railey in his book on the History of Woodford Co. is responsible for starting this error. Gideon Blackburn did live and preach in KY for a time and was Pres. of Centre College . He may very well have been acquainted with the Woodford Co. Blackburns but was not related unless several generations earlier. Good hunting Miriam Blackburn

You have all been very helpful to me, and I hope this may be of help to you: The descendants of William Blackburn in Woodford County, KY: My Blackburn family originated in Kilcain, Scotland. Yorkshire, England, was just across the border, and attracted many Blackburns because it was an important seaport and trading center. 1. William Blackburn b. 17 Sept. 1653 New Castle, On The Tyne, Yorkshire, England d. 18 Oct. Abingdon Parish, Glouchester Co., Va. (I don't know what brought him to VA, but at that time you could homestead 50 acres for every member of your family if you were willing to live on the new frontier.) Marriage: Dorothy, circa 1678 children: +William b. 1682 Rowland Roger Anne 2. William Blackburn b. 1682 Glouchester Co., VA marriage: Elizabeth Haynes (daughter of Thomas Haynes and Elizabeth Adkins) 1711 in Va children: +William b. 1711, Middlesex Co, VA Dorothy b. 1712, d. 1726 Elizabeth b. 1714 Martha b. 1714 (Elizabeth's twin) Hannah b. 1719 Thomas b. 1721 Anna b. 1723 Millicent b. 1727 3.

She married Richard Bohanon of VA and moved to Spring Station in 1789. They then moved to Jefferson County, KY in 1810, where they settled on the Floyd's Fork of the Salt River. See below for the details on George.) William b. 1748 Mildred b. 1751 Julius b. 1756 Rev. Gideon b. 1772 5. George Blackburn b. 16 January 1746, Glouchester Co., VA d. 1817 Woodford Co, KY marriage: Prudence Berry 19 Sept. 1771 in Louisa Co., VA children Nancy Ann b. 30 July 1772 in Middlesex Co., VA William Berry b. 24 April 1774 Jonathan b. 10 Feb. 1776 Luke Pryor b. 14 Sept. 1777 Mary "Polly" b. 12 Dec. 1789 Mildred b. 25 August 1782 George Jr. b. 27 Nov. 1785, the first born in Woodford Co., KY +Edward Mitchell "Uncle Ned" b. 10 Feb. 1787, Woodford Co.

He and his wife moved to Woodford County in 1784. His fort was used as a refuge, in the event of Indian attack, by all those within the vicinity.) 6. Edward Mitchell "Uncle Ned" Blackburn b. 10 Feb. 1787 marriage Lavinia S. Bell 3 Sept. 1809 children: (all born in Woodford County) Luke Pryor Blackburn b. 16 June 1816-1823 (Governor of KY 1879-1883, physician) Elizabeth Jane Blackburn b. 14 Feb.

Arkansas Breckenridge Fluornoy b. 25 Feb. 1832 James Weir b. 30 Apr. 1834 Secretary of State of KY, 1879-1883 +Joseph Clay Stiles b. 1 Oct. 1838 (the only one whose birthplace is listed specifically as Spring Station, KY) U.S. Congress 1775-1785, U.S. Senate 1885-95, 1901-07; Governor of Panama 1907; chairman of Lincoln Memorial Commission 1914-1918. Note: "Uncle Ned" was a lover and breeder of race horses. He is the first to settle permanently at Spring Station, having moved there just before Joseph Clay Stiles was born. 7. Joseph Clay Stiles Blackburn b. 1 Oct. 1838 marriage 1: Therese Graham 16 Feb. 1858 daughter of C.C. Graham of Lousiville marriage 2: Mary E. 11 Dec. 1901 in Washington, D.C. (he is buried with Therese Graham in Frankfort) children: J.C.S. is known to have had four children, but I have found only one: +Terese Blackburn (my grandmother, bless her)

Please add me to the list. Carole Miller

I would like to be included also.

Robin, I am thrilled to be on this list. I'm hoping to find some of the many Blackburns descended from me. I am one of the many descendents of the Lancashire England Blackburns. My 3rd great grandfather was Samuel Blackburn (b. 1827, Eccles Lancashire England), married to Sarah Susannah Lamb. I am compiling a book about Alfred Lamb Blackburn, my 2nd great grandfather, Samuel's son. It is for this reason I have become interested in finding my relatives so I can give them copies of the book. AL Blackburn and many of his siblings and mother moved to Idaho and Utah in the 1850's or 1860's as Mormon Pioneers. Some of his children moved to California. Three of his daughters. All married wealthy men, or men who became wealthy...... One lived in Santa Monica, another Beverley Hills and the other Los Angeles?! Anyway, his eldest daughter is my ancestor. One of the few that was never rich. She was happy though, and more successful in the long run family-wise than the rich ones. I'd be very interested in finding some of the descendents of the 'rich Blackburns' in California. I know one was named Mary, she married a man named Frank Grabmair. The others I don't remember their names. Anyway, I kind of got caught up in talking about Alfred Lamb. I am 'young blood' as you called it. I have been doing genealogy since mid 1998 and I will surely do it all my life. I'm always going to be involved in someone else's genealogy if not my own. Nice being on the list so far, even if it seems no one on it is any relation to me! :o) Brad

Dean: Howdy! Welcome aboard! It's good to know there's some other "young blood" doing research on the family (I'm 27 myself, but still act like I'm 18 sometimes). Which Blackburns are you from?

I have been working on 100 years of Pike County, Ky Blackburn Census records. I have posted all of them on my web site for your viewing. Please feel free to correct me should you find mistakes, but be prepared to document your findings. This is a modified Census that begins 1850 to 1920 and lists only Blackburn's. It is modified because a column has been added to list the name of the father, and the name of the spouse. It is assumed when no last name is given, it is Blackburn. Happy Hunting. I think this will help alot of Blackburn searchers! http://www.familytreemaker.com/user/s/t/a/S-Starnes/

The only thing I know about them is my mother who is 81 said she called them Uncle Johnny and Aunt Mary. They are supposed to be buried in Jackson Co., Arkansas. Johnny in the early 1940's and Mary in the late 1940's. They were farmers. Mary is in the 1900 census with her mother, step-father and sister (my grandmother) in Independence Co., AR Greenbriar Township. John Henry & Sarah F. Henderson and sister Rosa O. McAllister b. Feb 1888, Mary McAllister b. April 1884 both in Missouri. Mother does not remember where the children moved after they married. Her mother Rosie married George W. Martin, Jr and lived in Rosie, Independence Co., AR. Seems like I saw a Blackburn in the Independence Co 1900 census but did not take down the information, will go back to the microfilm and see if I can find it again, maybe it will give me some more info.

My great gpa did make a note that James was "traditionally" regarded as a brother to George & Elizabeth. So he knew something was afoul even in the 50's. And we have so many more resources now, 45 years later, than he had. Everything you say and everything he mapped seems to check out. The only thing he appears to error in is my William's father. He seems to think that James (& Janet Rankin)'s son Thomas was my William's father. I can't prove it. I found what my great found. It was the wrong William. How I wish I had more of his research. I know there was more. I have his wife's research notes on her KY lines, yet his have disappeared. I can snail mail you this "map" if you are interested. Still stuck on my William, Cheri

Hi Bonnie, Descendants of James Marion Blackburn Generation No. 1 1.
