I'm new to the list. I'm posting this in hopes that someone may know something about this family. W.BLACKBURN married MARELLA SUTTON daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth Sutton. >From Sampson County N.C. August 25, 1850 census W. Blackburn 25 M Cooper NC Cannot read or write Marella 27 F NC Cannot read or write Ellen 8 F NC James 6 M NC Dicy 5 F NC William 3 M NC Daniel 1 M NC In the 1860 census of Sampson County, W. Blackburn's family was living with his wife's parents. (Daniel Sutton's family) Clamilla Blackburn 30 F Mahala Blackburn 17 F William Blackburn 13 M Elizabeth Blackburn 7 F Adeline Blackburn 3 M Adeline (called Addie) was my great- grandmother ( she was female not male). That was a census error. This is the only thing I can locate on my Blackburn family. I have no idea who W. Blackburn's family was or what happened to him between 1850 and 1860. I would love to know something about my Blackburn line. Anyone know this Blackburn family? I would love to hear from you. Pam
