Kay, Here is something else to add to the stew. Mrs. J.R. Gibson(surely a coincidence!) of Athens, Texas in 1939 wrote to Mr. Challacombe: "John Blackburn, who married Jemina Boulton in 1805; parents of 1. Salanthie, 2. James, 3. robert, 4 William, 5. Thomas, 6. Luther Green, 7 Sterling, 8 John Ashley, 9 a sister ,10.Jemina. " " James, robert & Will went to Ohio; Luther Green lived in Springfield, Mo ..." Patty Dahm Pascoe in her book BLACKBURN FAMILY traces the descendants of John Ashley Blackburn, which includes Mrs. Gibson, but does not follow the others. John and Jemina lived in Claiborne Co, TN Miriam
