Hi Sweetie, Raven Blankenship here, welcome to the family. You fall under the same family as those you listed. Their are about 20 different spellings I've seen so far. I remember when I first signed up on here some one saying our root name's fartherest tracking was to Ireland. Does anyone have that spelling. PLEASE SEND IT TO ME, PRETTY PLEASE. I have a friend with some old books. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Blankinsop" <blankinsop@erols.com> To: <BLANKENSHIP-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 30, 2000 11:36 PM Subject: [BLANKENSHIP] Blankinsop Family > Hello, > > My Name is David Blankinsop.

Tam... I really don't know. I would say that Pleasant was definitely one of Peter Blankenship's grandchildren. He was an orphan, so his parent (maybe an unknown daughter of Peter) had died. Too bad they didn't keep death records back then and this bunch was too poor to leave any possessions in a will. Don't guess we'll ever know for sure.

I have posted to the Mel-Kin list to see if Brenda can correct the url - sorry folks, forwarded it as I got it.

Hi Gracie, Don't know if anyone has answered this question yet, but she is a daughter of Pleasant Blankenship. Elevizer Blankenship married Sept. 14, 1835, Botetourt Co. VA (they lived in an area which was later Roanoke Co.), to John B. Holly. She appears as "Louisa" with husband "John Hauley" on the list of Stewart heirs, Franklin Co. Order Book 12, December 1860. If you have any of their descendants I'd love to have the information. Pleasant is one of those "unknowns" from Franklin Co. VA. He was born about 1784 (from Roanoke Co. 1850 census), and first appears in court records: Franklin Co., January Court 1795 - Overseers of the poor bind Pleasant Blankenship, an orphan boy, to Alexander Ferguson, Jr. No male Blankenships disappear from the tax lists around 1795, hence it can be deduced that Pleasant's mother was a Blankenship. He married March 7, 1808, Franklin Co., to Rhoda Stewart, daughter of William Stewart. Pleasant and Rhoda had ten children, including: Nehemiah, Elender, Wiley Pleasant, Marquis D., Elevizer, Tazewell, Giles, Julia Ann, Evilina, Nancy. Hope this helps.
