Pat, When I read this posting, I didn't know if you were talking about my Blackburns that moved to Floyd County KY in the 1860's or the earlier Blackburns in Floyd County KY. I've tried to make a connection to the early Blackburns of Floyd County. My gggrandfather, Thomas Blackburn, was the son of Edmund L. and Elizabeth Adkerson Blackburn. Thomas married Nancy Elrod. We believe they came with their children to KY around 1866 or 67. Do you have info on the early Blackburns in Floyd Co.? They were in Floyd Co. in the early 1800's.

I have not been able to get Benjamin back to the UK. He came as a clergyman and lived in NC. Part of his family moved to Floyd Co., Ky. My grandmother of that line was born in Trade, TN. Later her family moved to Peebles, Ohio. > > Other Blackburns in Ashe Co., NC, and those in Floyd Co., KY, and those in the area near Peebles may be connected. But how? Families often went where other family members were. > > Pat Arrants > > > > > ==== BLACKBURN Mailing List ==== > When the subject changes, please change the Subject line.. > Searching for roots beats chasing dust bunnies! >
