Surnames: Blackburn, Bracken, Bruner, Hartley, Poling, Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/SNE.2ACIB/1206.1 Message Board Post: Do you suppose there could be a connection with my Benjamin F. Blackburn who was in Monroe & Brown Cos. IN in 1830-1860? He married Mary Hartley in Nicholas Co. KY in 1819, coming through Harrison Co. from VA to KY. There was a Willoughby (OH) connection of some sort while in Brown Co. IN in 1860 but I'm not sure how it fits in. The other surnames you mention do not appear in my Blackburn line except one of Benjamin & Mary's grandsons was named Benjamin Taylor Blackburn.
