Surnames: Blackburn Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SNE.2ACIB/1278 Message Board Post: Don, do you have a website with all your findings. What info can you give me on the G3 William that maybe father to Allen. Have you found any info on Allen in Wilkes Co., I can find nothing on an Allen. Another thing, I found a deed where a William Blackburn and John Loftin bought property from Benjamin Harris all three from Edgefield SC, but the property was located in Habersham County. When I go to census in Edgefield, there is Elias and a William, but this William would have been too old for my William, thought he might possibly be William Allen??????On 1840 census is the only one that I can find William and Allen, 1850 both, if Allen is Williams father, both had died. There are other Blackburns, Jesse, Nancy, Nathan but they lived in a different district. Also by 1850 they were gone also. Don't know if they could be brothers and sister. Does any of these names ring a bell with you? Thanks for trying to help. You are one of two people that I have been able to co! ntact that are searching Blackburns. Hope to hear from you soon. Kathy
