    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SNE.2ACIB/99.1 Message Board Post: Accidentally saw your 1999 post, and suspect your William Harrison Blackburn to the following person: William Henry Harrison Blackburn, b. Clark Co. OH 5 Aug 1836, d. 9 June 1925 (probably in IL), mar. Miranda Wood; WHHB is a son of George Washington Blackburn and Anna Fuller, my 3g-gparents. WHHB is probably buried in Shiloh Cem., East Fork township, Montgomery Co. IL, where his father is buried. The town you called Caffeen is instead Coffeen, Montgomery Co. IL. You can find further info on this family in Montgomery Co. IL county histories, one published late 1800's, the other about 1905. Also see the book "The Blackburn Genealogy" by V. W. Ranke, which should list WHHB and gives much detail on his ancestors. WHHB's grandmother Sarah Ball (Haynie) Blackburn was a relative of Pres. George Washington, who wrote her several letters and left her a bequest in his will.
