Trying to find descendants of Benjamin Blackburn(Jr.) b 1738- d1834,of Tuscaloosa, AL. He was the eldest son of Benjamin/Mary Blackburn(Sr) of E TN. He settled in the early 1800's in AL and d. 1834. Benjamin,Jr. had children: 1.Mary who m. Davis and lived near Columbus,MS. She was pre-deceased by all her descendants. 2. Jane Wallace lived in Lawrence Co. AL some descendants still living in the area. 3 Sarah(Sally) m Derwin, lived in Jackson Co. AL info. requested on this family. 4.ASENETH (Asena) m. first Ezekiel Harlen (can't find who he was) then a Mr. Miller. in 1835 she was living near Lexington, KY. She must have had some children-Harlan or Miller. Info. requested on her. Some of the girls married in Blount Co.,TN before 1800. 5. John in Fayette Co. AL (do not confuse with son of Augustine Blackburn who also lived in Fayette Co.) 6. James, lived in Arkansas. He may have been teacher or preacher may be the James who m.Jeanie Davies as alleged but not proven. 7.Benjamin m. Nancy---? Source: deposition of Benjamin 3rd. in 1835. Benjamin, Jr. was well past middle age when he came to AL with his son Benjamin (3rd.) who died in 1850's. Benjamin (3rd) said in a deposition that he had thirteen children , nine sons and four daughters. Sons Robert and Edward survived the Civil War but I can't find anything of them after the war. I can guess at probably names of some other sons- John sold his property in AL and left for TX in 1836( or was this his brother ?) where he died. There was a Henry in the vicinity who m. Edy Ward. Other likely and common Blackburn family names would be William, James, Samuel. One dau. m. William Copeland but they both died before 1850. One dau. m. a Brooks . She was on the census with her mother and two or three children after the war. I believe another dau. m. McKinney. It isn't known whether all nine sons of Benjamin, 3rd. lived in Alabama. Some of them may have been of age and had their own families by the time he settled in AL. They may have stayed in TN or.... The whereabouts of Benjamin, Jr. before AL are a mystery. He fought at the Battle of Point Pleasant where he was wounded (recieved pension which was transferred to AL from TN). Some say he went to Ohio after Rev. War, later moving to TN, another account identifies him as the Benjamin Blackburn who maintained a Tavern in Crossville, TN where various public meetings were held in the early days of TN. He certainly spent some time in TN. He inherited the family Bible from his father. It would be wonderful to discover this and maybe solve some mysteries of the origin of the family line. Hope someone has a clue. M. Blackburn
