I don't remember what I posted but I think the other person was confusing Captain Stewart (called Bushyhead because of his untamed red hair) with Rev. Jesse Bushyhead. But I thought the person wanted to contact Rev. Robert Bushyhead and I was going to tell her how. LOL! There are lots of Blankenships who live on the Qualla Reservation. Have you spoken with them? Bob Blankenship has composed two books Cherokee Roots East and Cherokee Roots West. I was fixing to look up your names in his book but realize I don't have a copy here with me. I'll look in the morning when I go back to my bookstore and let you know. Don't let me forget this -- age is showing in my memory these days. I'm not sure where White County, Georgia is or if it is within the old Cherokee Nation. White County is South of here. Let me know. Talk to you later.

I am going on very little information here, but was hoping maybe you could shed a little light. I am looking for information on one of my husbands ancestors, Milley Thompson from White Co., Georgia. She married John B. Blankenship in Shelby County AL in 1827. Milley and John then adopted her two sisters, Morning C. and Jane. Their mother was Martha Fields. I was told by another Blankenship researcher this Martha was related to Rev Bushyhead, but he did not remember where he got this information. If you can supply any details, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks Patricia Visit us at Firelight Books & Gifts, a Native American book store

Hi All, here is the list someone asked for. Children of John B. Blankenship & Elizabeth Hudson. William, Joseph, Hudson, Henry, Norvell, Matthew, Amy, Elizabeth, Elisha, Isham (Sr.). TT

I know, I'm wondering if she might have been Edward's child from an earlier marriage.But, of course no proof of that either. Helen in Idaho

You mentioned information coming from cc, what is that? I just cannot find any thing concrete to put Jemima in this family of Robert and Rhoda. It makes sense because of others who came into Macon Co., IL from this same area but just cannot get proof. I printed off what you sent me and I will keep in touch if I find something more. You said you wanted me to share what I have, it will just be from Jemima with her husband and children, etc. Is that what you want? Helen in Idaho

Will have to check, my info is at home Thanks for writing, Sandy in Florida ***REPLY TO SandraG627@aol.com*** On Wed, 8 Nov 2000 BeejC1@aol.com wrote: > With a marriage date of 1791 for Robert and Rhoda, the date of Jemima's birth > of 1780-85 might indicate that she was not their child.

Does anyone have proof that David is Isham, Sr`s son? My AOL has a problem right now and I can`t go to a website or download. Thank you.

With a marriage date of 1791 for Robert and Rhoda, the date of Jemima's birth of 1780-85 might indicate that she was not their child. Jemima and Edward Hill married in 1802 so she couldn't have been born much later.

In the 1830 and 1840 Franklin Co Mo. census there is a Mathew Blankenship. He bought two pieces of land Oct 1, 1840. One was located in Franklin Co NWSE Sec 34 Twp 42N Range 3W and the 2d was SESE Sec 34 42N 3W. [My line Elisha Blankenship, did not buy land in Franklin Co. until 1848. His location was SENE Sec 19 Twp 43N Range 1E Elisha is not on the census until 1850 with children from ages 21 to 2 years of age.] I have not found a grave or death for this Mathew. There was suposed to be a Mathew in the family of John Blankenship and Elizabeth Hudson who was born abt 1748. It does not seem likely that the Mathew in Mo. is the same Mathew. I have been trying to prove or disprove the family story that our Blankenships were once Emorys . I thought this Mathew might give me some clues but I don't where he fits in. There were over the years other Blankenships in the counties around Franklin and Emorys in New Madrid Co. south east and other counties around Franklin. Any ideas about who this Mathew is? Muriel

In a message dated 11/7/2000 10:31:35 AM Eastern Standard Time, Winack27@aol.com writes: Did you have to type all of that info. or is there some way to send a file? I would love to send my family file Hi Winack27, No I did not type all of that information, I think I would go crazy if I had to set here each time and type out all of the trees I send to the post. I am using the Family Tree Maker genealogy program and I can save the tree and send them through e-mail that way. The steps in doing this are as followed: 1. open your Family Tree Maker program and go to the persons name that you want to make a new chart on. 2. Chick ONE TIME on that name to highlight it. (on my computer the name will turn blue) 3. Then go to the top of the page and chick on the icon that says Genealogy Report, This will automatically bring up the chart for the person you have picked. 4. Chick on the word FILE at the top of the page then go down to Export Genealogy Report. On my computer this automatically sends the information to my WORD program. 5. The WORD program will ask you to pick a name for your new chart. This is anything you pick with .RTF at the end of it. Then chick on save and your new file is saved in your WORD program and you can copy and paste it into any other program you would like to. You can attach it as a file to e-mail or send it like I have been doing by copying and pasting it right onto the e-mail page. 6. How to copy and paste: Go to the information you want to add to your e-mail or report. LEFT chick one time on the mouse controls and hold down on the button and drag the mouse over all that you want added. This is what I call highlighting. Then do a RIGHT chick one time on the mouse control and a little window will open chick on COPY and then go to the page you want to add the new information and set you mouse right on spot you want the new information to go. Chick one time on the RIGHT mouse button and go down to where it says PASTE, the new information should be on the new page. I like this way if I am sending information to all of the researchers on the posting board. I also use this method to print out the information about MY LINE of Blankenships so I can always have a hard copy if my computer should ever crash. Now if you are using AOL as I am, you cannot send but just so many words at one time. That is the reason you will see a lot of what I send to the post in parts. I have to send the top part, the middle and then the bottom. Most times in three or four mailings, just for the same article or information. There is also another way to send GED file from computer to computer. That is to ZIP them in a zip file and attach them to the e-mail you want them to go to. If you do not have a ZIP program you can download WINZIP by going to their website. The http for the site is: http://winzip.com/ The hyperlink for that site is <A HREF="http://winzip.com/">WinZip® Home Page</A> I like this way myself if I am only send information to one person. Hope this helps and you can try to send things to YOURSELF until you get good at coping and pasting and zipping. Sue B. Altice

Patricia, Thanks for the link. I am in the process of putting all of my information on the computer and when I do I will be happy to share what I have. As I said before, I do not make any claims that it is all correct as I have not had time to research this line myself. The majority of what I have was given to me by others. You are welcome to it, though. I will send it to you when I have time to sit down and put it all into my FTM files.
