Dear Cousin Donna, You are my 4th cousin,twice removed, with our common ancestor Ichabod Blackledge who was the father of my Jacob and your John. The parents of Mahala were John Blacklidge (c. 1780-1828) and Minah Newby. They were married 21 Aug 1801 in Pulaski Co, KY. Mahala was born in Kentucky in 1823. I have John R. Keith born in 1840 and died in 1883; Elizabeth J. Keith born in 1841 and died in 1866. I am pleased to learn of Lucinda F. and hope you will fill me in on your branch.
