Mike, You must check e-bay frequently. I have looked at it a little, but now my curiosity is peaked. I'm going to look it over. That was a great find -- the tokens. Lots of history there. I was interested to see that they have family history books there. Pat T.

Dot, Yes, this is my line. The Chambers and Blankenships liked each other a lot! My Mary/Polly Blankenship married James Chambers, and I believe Isham and William must have been her brothers, who married the Chambers sisters. They could have been her cousins, of course. It all hinges on finding the parents. That's where I'm stuck. Thanks much. Pat T.

Hope, I have some info on an Ezekiel Blankenship in Mingo Co. WV on a gedcom file that I downloaded long ago. There is an Abraham Blankenship, also. The notes contain some info on the McCoys, and Aunt Betty Blankenship. If there is anything of interest to you here, let me know. It has no bearing on my line, but it was interesting so I kept it! Pat T.

Hi Pat, I don't know much about the mine except that I bought a set of tokens several years ago for the R. J. Blankenship Mine in Peach Creek, WV. The tokens were to be used in the mine store. I see the tokens crop up occassionally on e-bay.

Hi Pat it's me again My fathers side did fight on the Hatfield side of the fued but he was to young to be involved in it. He developed T.B. while working in a mine and had to leave to get to a better climate.
