Surnames: Long, Blackburn and others Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SNE.2ACIB/1250.1.2 Message Board Post: OOps, I meant to say Margaret Boulware was BORN abt 1683, not married in 1683. Elias Sr. had a sister Mary Blackburn b. abt 1664 (no other Info) No mention of sister of Elias Jr., only two brothers, Ambrose b. (unkn) d. 1754 Caroline Co. VA. Christopher III b. abt 1694, d. (unkn) I'll send you copies of the Blackburn of VA "stuff", as I see Bernard Gaines is mentioned as a witness along with Christopher I (Elias Sr. father) in a land transaction 1687 of George and Joyce Lambert to Thomas Tharpe. Since families "stuck" together...this may be a clue. regards, Roger
