The line I am working on comes from Benjamin Blackburn who sailed to North Carolina on the Carolina from London in 1774. He and his wife , Elizabeth Adkerson, named their children: Edmond (or Edmund, depending on the source) Leroy, Levi, John, and Sarah. With those names for the children, perhaps there is a connection to Henry Edmond, born at Kingston upon Hull in England. I have not been able to get Benjamin back to the UK. He came as a clergyman and lived in NC. Part of his family moved to Floyd Co., Ky. My grandmother of that line was born in Trade, TN. Later her family moved to Peebles, Ohio. Other Blackburns in Ashe Co., NC, and those in Floyd Co., KY, and those in the area near Peebles may be connected. But how? Families often went where other family members were. Pat Arrants
