This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Blackburn, Goslin, Thorp Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/SNE.2ACIB/1229 Message Board Post: I am seeking information about my gg-grandfather, Harvey Blackburn (b. circa 1819, of Clemmonsville, North Carolina) and his brothers Costin and Milton; all sons of of Robert Blackburn b.1790(?) and Mary Goslin b.1793. Harvey had sons Junius and John Robert b. circa 1859 in Clemmonsville, North Carolina (my great grandfather) and a daughter Mary. The family trade was blacksmithing. The dates I have on this family are estimates and I am missing many dates. Any help from those researching Blackburns would be greatly appreciated! If this is your family also I have some pics of John Robert Blackburn that I would be happy to share. Thanks much!
