Carolina in the late 1700 and his son was Enos Blackburn and they moved to Springfield, Tn. Robertson County in the early 1800. Coleman was born in Tn. and moved to Saline County, Harco, Il. Grandfather was Dan Thilander and my father was Gilbert Henry Blackburn all of Saline County, Il. Shirley Sutfin Blackburn.

Does anyone have any info on James Blackburn of Arkansas? His father was James Blackburn also. Around Fryatt Arkansas..James #2 was married to ?...but he had a daughter Mattie E. She was born January 1869 died January 1890. There seems to be very little info on Mattie and her parents. Someone has given me info the James #2 is buried in Paragould Arkansas. I find a James buried in Reddick Cemetery, but not sure. It is as though he fell off the face of the earth. Anybody knowing anything, I would love to hear. Thanks, Janet

I missed the original message on these surnames, but I, too, am interested in the surnames Simmons and Blackburn in Westmoreland County. My greatgrandfather William Blackburn was in an inn or boarding house in the 1870 census run by a Simmons or Simonds in Penn Twp.. My aunt May Blackburn married a Simmons. William Blackburn was born Ireland 1840, by 1870 to USA, married Sarah Brinton, resided in Penn Twp from at least 1870 to about 1905 when the family moved to California. I am searching for the ancestry of this William Blackburn (one of MANY who were wandering about in Western PA in the 1800s!). His children were May (married Simmons), my grandfather William John, Grace (married Paddison), Samuel Z., and Eleanor. I also have a DICKS line - Peter died 1804 in Chester County PA. Associated names: Darlington, Brinton. Any informatin on this William Blackburn will be appreciated and reciprocated. I am copying other related lists for their input. Bill Blackburn Mt.

Saw your wonderful page on Blackburns on the web....great!!! and thanks soooooo much for the info!!! However there is some parts i would like to correct....

He is shown on Red River Texas census as living with a Nancy in 1850, 1860 and 1870.

"James Blackburn and his wife Nancy came to Red River Co., Tex. in the late 1840's as their children were all born in Tennessee, but they were in Red River Co., in time to appear in the 1850 Federal Census. Sometime during the next 10 years James purchased a farm on Wild Car Creek. The 1860 census listed only the younger children, apparently the older ones had gone their ways. One of the daughters, Roda, had married a man named Nichols, and she had returned to her parents with two children, Mary and John Nichols. I suppose her husband had died or gone his own way. Roda had married several times in her life. She had also lost one of her legs, from what reason I do not know. I know James Blackburn died about 1870-71 in Red River Co., and is probably buried there. Nancy Blackburn was listed in 1880 Denton census records in the household of her youngest daughter Louisa, who was married to William H. Owen, who was a nephew of our Gr. Grandfather Benjamin Owen. There was a lot of intermarrying with the Blackburn and Owen families. Since James Blackburn was in Texas by the late 1840's that discounts the story of the Owen & Blackburn migrating from Tennessee to Texas together. The information on Rhoda Blackburn I received from her Great grand-daughter Norma Anderson of Fort Worth, Texas. Information I have received indicates that James and Nancy were living in Missouri in 1833, but I discount this as all of their children are listed as being born in McMinn County, Tennessee with the exceptions of Martha (Merilda?) and Rebecca who were born in Bradley County, Tennessee and the last child Louisa was listed as born in Red River County, Texas in 1847, so that indicates they had migrated to Texas before 1847. Their daughter Rhoda's first marriage was to John Nichols, June 5, 1856, she had a girl, Mary Nichols and a son John Nichols, then she returned to her parents, James and Nancy. Her next marriage wsas to Jim Perry, he was shot the day one of their children was born. Later she married a Mr. Russell.

Hi! I've known since I was 5 that I had a great grandmother named Isabella Blackburn, born in 1814, died in 1914. After marriage she became Isabella Mordue. I know that she lived for some time at Marley Hill and at Clough Dene. She ran a public house which I have in recent years been told was named "Castles in the Air" at Burnhope and later a place named "The Garden House Inn" at Durham. I have been unable to find her birth anywhere and cannot find her in any census records. There is one vague possibility in 1881 but the age would be 4 years out and the job description didn't seem to fit. I think her father was Joseph and her grandfather Robert but these are not positives! I have bought her marriage and death certificates but to some extent they add to the confusion. I do know that her father, like herself, lived to be 99 and I think he lived at the Hobson. Is there anybody out there who can make Isabella a little less elusive to me? I do hope so. If you know she is a relative of yours I have several snippets of information that you might like to have. Hopefully, ARP

KAY, ARE YOU RELATED TO ANY OF THE BLACKBURN'S? MARY

Another fact that may be confusing the Blackburns married to Romans is that a James Blackburn married Margaret Roman on Nov 10, 1839 in Pike County.

However I am sure that my great great grandfather was William BLACKBURN, born 15 Aug 1824, where ??, md to Sabra Angeline WATSON, where ??, They were living in Washington County, Arkansas in 1860.

I do have a Hudson, father named Thomas...but darn, I can't promise my information is true!! I can't even tell you Hudson's wife name! So for what it is worth: Thomas Blackburn had three son: William, Hudson b. 1795, Thomas Jr. b. 1800 William married a Jenny Maynard and had two sons Hudson b. 1812 and Thomas b. 1817 Now the really confusing part!! The Hudson b. 1812 married a Mary and had a son named Wilburn b. 1829 If anyone can clarify these tidbits....please do! If you can correct it, I'd be obliged!

Rodger and Miriam and all others: According to my records, Hudson Blackburn b.1795 m. Mary Romans b.1795 and was a son of Thomas Blackburn. I have no other info on Thomas yet. Hudson had a son William b.?? who married Rebecca Scott b.1827. They married 1843 in Pike Co. Hutson Blackburn b.1809 was a son of William Blackburn and a brother to John W. Blackburn b.1816. I have no other information on this William. I am attempting to research these two families myself. If anyone can correct or add to these families, please do so.

I think William was a son of Hud(t)son the first who was a son of Thomas.
