Cheri, As you know by now, I have my spoon in a lot of Blackburn pots. The George Blackburn of Woodford Co. is not my line but since it intertwines with other Blackburns I have gathered some info. One source is Railey's HISTORY OF WOODFORD COUNTY KENTUCKY. You have to be careful of this source as there are many errors of fact that I identify from documentary evidence and some areas that disagree with other sources which I have not verified as correct. Still it does have a lot of useful information. KENTUCKY FRONTIERSMEN is another source-I think this may be on KY GenWeb site a book OUR KIN THE GENEALOGIES OF SOME OF THE EARLY FAMILIES WHO MADE HISTORY IN THE FOUNDING AND DEVELOPMENT OF BEDFORD CO. VA by Mary Denham Ackerly, Lula Eastman, Jeter Parker KENTUCKY BIOGRAPHIES by ?? Vol I, Goodspeed's MEMOIRS OF MISSISSIPPI Some of the offspring went to Calloway Co. MO and I think the title of a book that has some info. on these is KENTUCKIANS IN MISSOURI though I'm not sure of the title. George Blackburn established Blackburn's Fort when he first came to KY as it was still a troubled place. He and Prudence (Berry) Blackburn had children (from will published in 1817 Woodford Co.) . Mildred m William White' Jonathan (b 1776) m Prudence Buford Nov 6, 1796 . Prudence Buford was a dau. of Capt. Henry Buford and Mildred (Blackburn) Buford. Mildred was a sister of George Blackburn therefore, Jonathan and Prudence were first cousins. Churchill J. Blackburn b 1792 m 1st Eleanor Arnold in 1818 2nd Lydia Paxton. He was a doctor Margaret m John Kinkead Nancy m AnthonyBartlett William Berry m Martha Watkins, half sister of Henry Clay George m 1st. Julia Flourney; 2nd Anna Branham Edward M. m Lavinia Bell in 1809 Elizabeth m Samuel Lewis Mary m. Capt. George Holloway Luke I also have notes on Julius Blackburn who married Elizabeth Scruggs in Bedofrd Co Va and came to Woodford Co. KY. I think he was a brother of George but am not certain right now. According to one account Julius had a son Churchill J. Blackburn who was a doctor in Versailles, KY. C.J. married 1st Miss Keene, 2nd Miss Elly, 3rd. Mrs. Branham. Churchill J. also had a son Churchill J. (Jones ?) Blackburn who was a doctor also. As for the origin of William in VA I'm not sure. I think he may be a descendant of Christopher Blackburn who settled in Essex Co.Va in the 1600's as the name Churchill occurrs in some of his descendants also. Unfortunately, too many records have been lost in courthouse fires. The James Blackburn your gfather included was probably James andJanet(Rankin) Blackburn who settled in Harrison Co. KY about that time. . The Challacombe book has a sketch contributed by someone suggesting that James was a son of William of Middlesex Co. but more recent research by Frances Hilliard shows that it is unlikely James was a descendant. His parentage is unknown but evidence suggests he probably came from PA and probably the northern part of the Shenandoah Valley.Children's names, family "personality", religion, and other vague clues just don't match. (Geneology voodo) I have other bits on this line-some of it confusing- which I can share if needed. Miriam B.

Hmmm, maybe they unsubbed before I answered). Anyways, my great-grandpa does have this line "mapped" out. He didn't have George in a county. He just says KY and b. 1746. Oh, no wife Prudence either. I kinda thought that Pryor might be her maiden name...turns out it was her mom's maiden name. I'll note all that on his "map". What I don't understand is the top line about William (and you said the wife Elizabeth) of Middlesex Co, VA. Was he a Captain? Was he born in Newcastle Upon Tyne England 1653-1714? My great's map says resided in Glouchter Co, VA. Or did he look at the wrong William? (that's easy to do. There was only one trillion of them). I wish I had his research notes. All I have is his "map" from the 1950's. :( Better than nothing, though. Do you have info on George's brother James who also went to KY 1780-90 and had 12 sons? (again, my great's notes). Thanks, Cheri

Edward M. Blackburn was a son of George and Prudence( Berry) Blackburn. Prudence was dau. of Major William Berry and Molly Pryor. ( Luke P. Blackburn, bro. of Edward M. , is Luke PRYOR Blackburn) . George settled early in Woodford Co. KY. He was the son of Edward and Ann Blackburn of Middlesex Co., VA and believed to be the grandson of William and Elizabeth Blackburn of Middlesex Co., VA. Hope this helps. M. Blackbaurn

Hi, My name is "Bobbie" Kent and I have been trying to get some information about my paternal grandmother. Her name was Alice Blackburn, she was born in 1879 in Sneedville, Tennessee.

I am the great great grandson of a man by the name of Alfred Lamb Blackburn. Here are the specifics: B. 7 Feb 1849 Newton Le Willows, Lancashire, England D. 31 May 1916 Rexburg Idaho His parents were Samuel Blackburn and Sarah Susannah Lamb, of Lancashire England. Alfred married Catherine Briggs in 1876, Mary Jane Entwistle in 1881, and Mary Ann Howarth in the late 1880's or 1890's? I am not sure. I know very little about her. I descend from his second wife, Mary Jane Entwistle. I am writing a book on Alfred Lamb Blackburn for his descendents, I know he has many. From his eldest daughter alone, he has over 50. I have information on his eldest son, and I have contacted 3 of his descendents. The book will only be charged for copying and shipping costs. It will contain transcriptions of his journal, any stories I know about him, his wives or his children, and any interesting stories I can dig up about his parents. He taught or went to Ricks College in the early 1900's. He was the first Music Master there. Please contact me directly at [email protected] I hope to have the book compiled within 6 months, if possible, but will take as long as I need to guarantee a successful and interesting book. I know there are descendents out there, come out of the shadows and talk with me. :o) Known descendents are in Utah, Idaho, California, Washington.... basically throughout the Western half of the country, and some are rumored to be in England.

I am the newest member to the Blackburn Mailing List. I haven't used a mailing list for some time, so if I don't always get back to you right away, do not be offended. I'll introduce myself. My name is Bradley Marchant. I'm one of the younger genealogists, the next generation..... I'm 18 years old, and have been doing this since mid 1998 I'd guess. I currently work on several families. My sister-in-law's, an adopted family of mine, and I also try to do work on my own. I am particularly interested in the Blackburn side of my family though. I reside in southern New Jersey, but soon I will be out of here.... I plan on moving to Utah within a few months if my plans all work out. Thank-you for allowing me to be on this list. I hope to be able to help anyone in the future. I'm no genius on Blackburns, but I'll do what I can. Bradley Marchant [email protected]

From "The Kentucky Encyclopedia" by John E. Kleber, Editor in Chief, Thomas D. Clark, Lowell H. Harrison, Jams C. Klotter, Associate Editors, pub. by the University Press of Kentucky. I didn't copy the copyright page. I see that the Los Angeles Public Library obtained the book in 1992. So it was published before then. Page 83, column 2. (2 lines go to page 84). BLACKBURN, JOSEPH CLAY STILES. Joseph Clay Stiles Blackburn, U.S. Senator, was born to Edward and Lavinia Blackburn on October 1, 1838, in Spring Station, Woodford County, Kentucky. He attended Frankfort Academy and graduated form Centre College in Danville in 1857. He read law under George B. Kinkead and was admitted to the bar in 1858. After practicing law in Chicago for two years, he returned to Kentucky in 1860 to work in the presidential campaign of John C. Breckinridge. In 1861 Blackburn joined the Confederate army as a private. He volunteered as aide de camp to Brig. Gen. William Preston, receiving the rank of captain, and fought with distinction in the September 1863 Battle of Chickamauga. He later was a lieutenant colonel under Gen. Leonidas Polk along the Mississippi River and in 1864 was given the command of a cavalry battalion in the District of Mississippi and East Louisiana under Maj. Gen. Franklin Gardner. Blackburn moved to Arkansas at the end of the war, practicing law and engaging in farming in Desha County. In 1868 he returned to Kentucky and opened a law office in Versailles. He was elected to the Kentucky House in 1871, serving two terms. As a Democrat, he served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1875 until 1885. He was then elected and reelected to the U.S. Senate (March 4, 1885, to March 3, 1907). On April 1, 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt appointed Blackburn governor of the Panama Canal Zone; he resigned on November 20, 1909. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson appointed him resident commissioner of the Lincoln Memorial. Blackburn was married to Therese Graham in 1858. She died in 1899 and he married Mary E. Blackburn in 1901. He died on September 12, 1918, in Washington, D.C., and was buried at the Frankfort Cemetery. See Leonard Schlup, "Joseph Blackburn of Kentucky and the Panama Question,: FCHQ 51 (Oct. 1977): H. Levin, The Lawyers and Lawmakers of Kentucky (Chicago 1897). NOTE: This is Cheri. The title....The Lawyers & Lawmakers in italicized. Also, in the article that follows on Joseph's brother, Luke Pryor Blackburn, it says Lavinia's maiden name was BELL).
