John died inj 1786 and Agnes in 1805, they had 7 children, Mary (Polly), James, Hannah, Alexander, Sarah, John, William. I descend from William. After Johns death Agnes and William moved to Ky, then to Ohio, and then Ind. where William died. William's son Alexander moved to McDonough County, Ill. and lived into his 90s. I have a lot of information on these Blackburns. My family has Alexanders Bible. I saw posted on one web site that Archibald was Johns father. I was born and raised in McDonough County, Illinois and now live in Valencia County, New Mexico. Jack
