I was told by my grandfather that the Blackburns came here from N.C. One brother supposedly went to Tenn and the other out west. William Blackburn married Emaline Grant in 1838. I think his father may have been Allen and mother Anne, don't know for sure. They were here in 1840 no Blackburns before. Allen died before 1850 and so did William. William had 3 children, Simpson Kimzey, Perry Suggs, and Mandevine. Simpson was the only one to have children. If you can help, I would appreciate anything.
