Hi Carroll, Are you saying Josiah and Joseph are one and the same? I would like a list of all the children as you have them. The Blackburn book has just nine children listed, and I am not sure I have the dates of birth right. What do you have? Have you any clue as to where the Porter middle name came from? I have a Porter line and wondered if this is another connection.

Well, I wasnt sure if the info. I had was correct or not, that was my reason for asking. I have also seen that Samuel had noe children and that is what made me start wondering about the conflicitng data about James's father. But if his father is still unknown as of yet then I will desregard any thing else I see, unless they have proof. James B. Blackburn was my 6th great grandfather.

Katie, This is my maternal line of Blackburns. The Boatright claim was based on a belief that James Blackburn's daughter Elizabeth had a half sister Polly Carter on the rolls. James Blackburn was married to Rhoda Ann Baugh Susan Blackburn Tate

Hi...I am looking for the parents of Mary Ann Blackburn....born in Missouri 1832....I understand her father was a James Blackburn...and related to the Blackburns who claimed Cherokee blood....(Rhoda Boatright, etc)....I have copies of claims made by her children on the Guion/Miller claims....but it did not list her mother's name....Are there any other Blackburn's researching this line? Katie

Amy, We don't know who James B. Blackburn's parents are either. The names of his children are similar to the names in the Benjamin Blackburn line but that isn't proof. They appear to have been related at least through the Province/Provine family. Mrs. Hilliard, who compiled a book on the James B. Blackburn line felt the two lines were probably related but could find no good evidence. I have her book and will gladly do look ups. Marriage of first cousins was a very common occurrence in the Blackburn family and most others of that time period. It seemed they went out of their way to pick someone kin. At least they knew about the family that way. M. Blackburn

Amy, I see familiar names in your query. I have the book Blackburns Today and Yesterday by Frances Blackburn Hilliard, which begins with James and Jane Rankin Blackburn. I am trying to tie James, son of Samuel and Margaret Patterson Blackburn, as the same James and Nancy Blackburn found on the 1850, 1860 and 1870 Census in Red River County, TX. Maybe we can help each other. I am not familiar with the book as I have had it such a short time. But in a quick check of the index (Provine rather than Province) and scanning this is what I find. The third and last section of the book is entitled "The Benjamin Blackburn Family and notes on Blackburns in America" by W. A. Challacombe, Carlinville, Illinois, 1942. This is not the same family as that of James B. and Jane Rankin Blackburn. These notes mention the four Blackburn Brothers of Frederick County, VA, William, John, Benjamin and Samuel. ( this is beginning to sound like some of the other queries I have been reading from this list, I see Benjamin, Gideon, etc.) In particular, notes for this Samuel are as follows: "SAMUEL BLACKBURN, a third brother, 'married Eleanor Provine in Chester County, PA., about 1748. Her sister, Ann Provine, married Francis McCormick. They were two of the four daughters of Thomas Provine. The Blackburns sold their interest in the iron ore mining on Mulberry Run to the Provines and Morgans.' (Mr. Griffeth in Recorder's Office in Winchester, VA 1940) Samuel and Eleanor Blackburn had no children...." Samuel's will probated Oct 1776, mentions: wife Eleanor; nephew Samuel, son of brother Benjamin; nephew Benjamin, son of brother Wm.; wife's nephew Samuel McCormick; John Blackburn, son of James Blackburn. (relationship of James not given) Hope this is what you are looking for. I am still looking for the parents of James B. Let you know if they are here. Pat Lefors Dawson

I'm going to list my family in hopes that somebody out there might be related. William Alanson Blackburn b. 1863 in Missouri died 1936 in Earlsboro Oklahoma married Ella Pester? b. 1873 in Kansas Possible brothers to William ( Charley, Bud, Plyney) Children all born in Oklahoma Thomas Jefferson Blackburn b. Mar 11 1892 died Nov 1975 married Wille Mae Lowe Albert Blackburn Effie Blackburn Elvira Blackburn Berthia Blackburn Jesse Blackburn Martha Blackburn Ruthie Blacburn William A.

My direct line is out of KY Alanson b 1805 Bracken Co. He had 11 known children. Some of his the children moved to MO Lindsey b 1847 married Sarah Dotson (do not have his children's names) daughter Hulda married Andrew Winniger and had a son named William Alanson. I do know that some of the cousins also moved to MO just cannot find the information but wanted to let you know if you find any connections to KY contact me. The name Alanson, William, Thomas & Effie run in our family. Good luck Barbara Guinn

I am researching Sarah Matlack Brinton born 1848 PA, and her husband William Blackburn born 1840 Ireland, resided Penn Tsp, Westmoreland County PA from at least 1870 to about 1905 when the family moved to CA. Offspring of Sarah and William were: William John Blackburn (my namesake and grandfather), Samuel Z. Blackburn, Grace (married Paddison), May (married Simmons) and Eleanor. William John Blackburn III (yes, there is a William John Blackburn IV) Mt. Shasta, CA

I didn't have any of my papers with me when I asked about Samuel Blackburn earlier, so let me expand. I am having problems with James B. Blackburn's (b. 1753) parents. I think they are Samuel and Eleanor Province, but here's the problem. James marr. Jane Rankin and Jane's parents were David Rankin, Jr. and Hannah Province. So that would make James B. Blackburn and his wife Jane Rankin first cousins. I guess I am just trying to be positive about that before I record it that way in my documents. If anyone has any info. on these people or on this Blackburn line, let me know! Thanks, Amy

Hi Linda Menikos, Susan Tate and others who may have an interest, Ok, this is what I have on Ambrose BLACKBURN, Jr; Josiah Hackney BLACKBURN; and William Halbert BLACKBURN. Ambrose BLACKBURN, Jr; b 1750 in Surry Co, NC';d 1820 in Lewis Co, TN; mar Frances Jones Halbert (b 1752 in Essex Co, VA; d 1836 in Maruy Co, TN; d/o Joel Harbert and Elizabeth Jones). Their 3rd of 10 children was Joseph Hackney BLACKBURN. Josiah Hackney BLACKBURN; b 1778 in (now) Stokes Co, NC; d Sep 8, 1841 at War Eagle, Benton Co, AR; mar Rachel Bryabt (b 1782 in NC; d Oct 9, 1845 at War Eagle). Their 4th of 7 children was William Halbert "Bill" BLACKBURN. William Halbert "Bill" BLACKBURN; b 1810 in GA; d ??; mar Susan Faris Doyle; They had three children. Does this help anyone? Will be happy to supply more information on other children. Joe Carroll

Miriam Thanks for all that information. I don't see a connection with my John Nelson Blackburn. I appreciate your effort. Keith

There are many Samuel Blackburns. The Samuel who m. Eleanor Province/Provine had known brothers Benjamin, William and John (who died 1755.) There may have been other un-identified siblings. There are some researchers who state John Blackburn was the name of the father of these brothers but I have not found any evidence to support this and those who make the claim have not been forthcoming with evidence. The naming patterns of the children of John and Benjamin do not support John being the name of their father. John named his son James and Benjamin named his firstborn Benjamin. Of course, this is not conclusive. Good hunting, M. Blackburn

Does anyone know who Samuel Blackburn's parents are. I think he was married to Eleoner Province, but I am not sure.

Kay, my heartfelt condolences on the death of your beloved mother.

Kay -- You have my sympathy. My own mother's in the hospital right now, following heart surgery, and it's been scary. Just remember, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." We Blackburns are a hearty bunch. Robin Blackburn-Jerkins ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

My dear, I am so terribly sorry. I have been through that - my own dearest of Mothers has been gone nearly ten years and I still miss her. The grief will ease as time goes by, but the vacant place will be forever vacant. God bless you and grant you Peace and the courage to go on, leaning on His gracious strength.

If there are messages that I need to answer, I apologize, I will get to them in a few days. My beloved Mom passed away Sat. evening and the funeral is tomorrow, so I am only on the computer to download email every so often. Keep up the chatter, this is one list that I don't have to worry about, thanks you are a great bunch of people. kay

Miriam Blackburn You wrote: There was a John Nelson who was close to the Blackburn family in E TN. I believe he may have been a Pres. minister who was in KY for a time. Another member of his family was a preacher/teacher in MO and IL. The name John Nelson Blackburn does occur in the family.       If your Benjamin belongs with this line,I would expect to find one of his children named Gideon and a Robert. There are so many Benjamins in this line that it is possible yours belongs.     I'll keep my eyes open for others. Miriam B. Will you send me the name of John Nelson's wife(s)? Thanks.
