I know this has nothing to do with genealogy, but I would like to get the information that someone put on the list this month. Someone listed the cough syrups that are dangerous for your health. I didn't get a chance to print out the e-mail letter. My grandson has a cold and I need to get him some cough syrup. Don't want to buy the brands that cause brain bleeding. I guess it does have to do with genealogy. I want to protect the next generation so they can carry on my family name. Thanks Dorothy H.

Hello, You have a Jessie Malcolm listed in your line. Is he related to James Malcolm and Catherine Haddox? Thanks Dorothy H.

Nolene, Don't know if this is the one you want? Rueben Buck Blankenship (John, Reubin,Hudson) Mar. 1836 Ala. Died May 1,1907 Livingston, Tex. Hudson Blankenship He was born before 1730 in Chesterfield Co., Va. He was on the 1820 census of Campbell Co. Hudson was the son of John Blankenship and Elizabeth (possibly Hudson- reported by one researcher: she was the daughter of William, granddaughter of William and Elizabeth, died prior to 1710 Chesterfield Co., and great granddaughter of Richard Hudson who died Henrico CO. who was descended from Daniel Hudson who died in England). Good luck! Dorothy H.

Hi all researchers, I have been trying to find more information on my blood line. Which is Ralph1 that married Matha, Ralph2, William3, Abraham4, John Jago5, John Henry6, Jessie Mose7, Jessie Malcolm8, ME9. In my search for more information, and with the help of Gayle and Mike, I found the following information. I want to share it with all of you in hopes that it will help find our Ralph and Martha. THIS IS PROVEN I HAVE PROOF FOR THIS This information came from ("the green books of pensions" as Mike called them) Virginia Revolutionary Pension Applications Volume Seven pages 65, 66 and 67. Absracted and Compiled by John Frederick Dorman. BLANKENSHIP, Abraham or Abram (Susan). W.10425. 7 Jan. 1830. Bedford Co., Va. Abraham (X) Blankingship of said county, aged about 72, declares he served three months under Capt. Joseph Royal and at Yorktown enlisted for three months under Capt. Lewis and marched to Williamsburg, and then enlisted for three months under Capt. James Scott and marched to old Jamestown and was there drafted as a regular soldier Inder Col. Dick, Maj. Boyce and Capt. Scott, and marched to Norfolk, Hampton and other places. He is a cooper and is now blind and unable to work. He has no property except a few coopers' tools. The overseers of the poor of Bedford County have levyed for his and his wife's relief $20. His wife is about 74 and very infirm. His single daughter is about 35 and her two children about 14 and 11. He has lived in Bedford County 46 years. 7 Jan. 1830. Bedford Co., Va. Thomas Phelps of said county declares he heard John Overstreet say Abraham Blankinship was a good Revolutionary soldier. 11 Dec. 1829. Lynchburg, Va. Thomas Wyatt declares he was born in Chesterfield Co., Va. in the neighborhood of Abraham Blankinship, Sr., now resident of Bedford County. He has frequently heard his father and others talking with Blankinship about the Continental service and the time Blankinship served. Moses Ferguson and GeorgeVaden lived in the same neighborhood. 23 Jan. 1833. Beford Co. Va. Abram (X) Blankenship of said county aged 73, declares he was drafted in the militia of Chesterfield County where he was born and then resided to serve three months in 1777. He marched about the first of June and was discharged in September and served under Capt. Cheetum [Cheatham], Col. Goode and Maj. Bass. They met at Chesterfield Court House and marched to Williamsburg Little York and Hampton and back to Little York and Wiilliamsburg where he was discharged. The next tour he was drafted. It was a law that every sixteen men were to furnish a soldier and it fell his lot to go for eighteen months. He marched from Chesterfield County under Capt. Scott, Maj. Boice and Col. Dicks, first to Petersburg and then to Portsmouth where they stayed fourteen or fifteen months. They then marched to Mackey's Mills and were discharged 25 Aug. 1779. He was a substitute for John Wilson of the same county in 1780. About the first of September he marched under Capt. Patterson Col. Robertson and Maj. Goode to Petersburg and there joined Col.Meade's regiment from Amelia County. They marched to Smithfield, then to Williamsburg for several weeks, and back to Smithfield where they lay until the three months expired. In 1781 he was called out by his number to meet the British at Petersburg and was in a skirmish in which they killed five or six British. THey took up the bridge to prevent their crossing, but the British did by some means cross and followed them to Chesterfield Court House and took thirty-seven prisoners, They retreated to Shirley Hundred and the British pursued and began to land. A sharp firing ensued and they took two boast loads of British prisoners and killed five or six. The prisoners were sent immediately to Norfolk. THey marched to Mobbin (Malvern) Hills and then to Culpeper County and were discharged in June 1781. He served three months, under Capt. Moody, Col. Robertson and Maj. Harris.

Nolene You just solved my mystery. I have only seen Rueben on marriage info, too! Thanks, Dianne

Hi, Correct me if I'm wrong, but something looks wrong with the Nov. 7, 1849 death date for Abraham. I have: Bedford Co. July Court 1854, Court Order Book 31, page 447: Abraham Blankenship exempted from payment of taxes and levies on account of old age and infirmities. Or, was this a record for Abraham Jr., who would have been about age 59 in 1854? HOWEVER, I also have: Franklin Co. Minute Book 1845-1850, page 219 "Susan Blankenship a pensioner of the United States by warrant dated 15 December 1845 at the rate of $80 per annum died in this county on the 17th day of June 1847" This shows that Abraham was dead by 1845. Mae Moore wrote that Abraham Blankenship died Mar. 8, 1845. Just some more fish for the stew. Mike

Patricia, Can you have Gerry give a little more info. There are a lot of Blankenship's in that county. D.H.
