ATTN: Sam I'd be interested to hear about this Ephraim you cam across. Mine migrated from PA to Ohio but I don't have info on the in between parts. This could very well me him because Millers and Blackburns have been together much throughout and my great grandmother was Mary Miller who md. E. B. Blackburn. Thanks for any input......Carol I have discounted that William too. There was a Robert L. and an Ephriam in Orange Co., In. at the same time as William and I have been trying to connect them with little success. There was also a Joseph but I'm sure he was of the Pennsylvania Blackburns and appears to have arrived earlier than the other 3 as he died and his will was probated in 1828. I'm almost sure that the Orange County bunch was connected to the Augusta County bunch because in that day and time families tended to travel together and there were Blackburns, Millers, Neidiffers, Burtons, Prices, Blacks and maybe others in both places. Also William and Nancy's oldest son was named Preston, and the Preston family was one of the Patriarch's of Augusta County. Their oldest daughter was named Susan and the wife of William Preston was Susanna.
