I have only posted to this list once or twice and still havent gotten any results. I know that there are some new people on here so I will try one more time. I have found a few people from my line, but none of then has any more info than I do. My line is as follows: William Blankenship b. July 1831 d. 1928 He married Mildred Hewlett(b1834 d.1922) in 1854. From his marriage lisence it says he was born in VA. and then he later moved to KY which is where all of their children were born. They had 13 children: 1. Julia Blankenship b. July 1855 2.

I am new to this list. I have not done any research on my ancestry, and as far back as I know is only my grandfather. Benjamin Harrison Blankenship was my grandfather. He was born in April of 1883, and I think that was around Morgan County Kentucky. He passed away in I believe January of 1971 in Mendon, Michigan. I know he had several children and my father was the only child of his second marriage to Doris Lena Reid. I know the names of 3 of his daughters and 1 son from his first marriage. David moved out to California. Etta Mae, Viola and Mary were the names of the daughters I remember and I think one of them end up out west for a time, either California or Arizona. I know he had several siblings and some of their children may have settled in or around Lagrange County Indiana, where I live, but I have never had any contact with any of them. R. L.

See my post on the Indiana Blankenships. I have much more. What is your source for death date of Lewis Blankenship, Sr.??? Agree his wife was named Mary from deed to James Blankenship. Do you have verification that he was the father of Lewis Blankenship who married Hannah Thomas? It is a good hypothesis but I have not seen a record. Would like to share information and research with you. Best.

In respone to Joe Trainer, Daniel and John Blankenship are interesting folks having gotten married the very same day in 1802 in Kanawha County, WV. Mike Blankenship's research on Richard Blankenship which I have a copy of lists John as a son of Richard who left a will in Ohio. The will named only one son. Mike speculated with me that Daniel may have also been a son of this Richard. I don't have the details but I agree that Daniel and John could have been brothers. Another interesting connection is that Lewis Blankenship of Indiana gave a deposition in Greenup County, KY court in 1823, the same year that Daniel and John were involved in a criminal suit there. The reference to the deposition is a mere mention in Julia Gougler's B. Records. Pat Torrence, with whom I have shared many useful and significant exchanges related to the Blankenships and Chamgbers of SE Indiana, found a reference to the suit involving Daniel and John in Greenup County, Kentucky during a visit there. Unfortunately, I have misplaced that email message. I have asked her if she still has the record. It seems very likely that Lewis was connected to Daniel and John. Perhaps Mike Blankenship can shed light on Daniel and John. Daniel was born 1771 to 1775 according to census records. That would make him a rough contemporary of Lewis Blankenship, Sr. who appears for a brief time in Jefferson County, Indiana. He and wife Mary sold land there about 1812 to James Blankenship. In the deed he is styled, "Lewis Blankenship, SR." My ancestor is Reverend Isaiah Blankenship who married Mary Chambers in 1799 in Rutherford County, North Carolina. He is referred to in several Indiana records as Reverend Isom and Isham Blankenship. One record actually names him as Isham and he signs the record as Isaiah. He may have been the brother of James Blankenship (b. 1773) whose wife was Alis (I believe Chitwood of the Rutherford County, NC Chitwoods; probably daughter of the Tory Captain James Chitwood and his wife Alis) who was granted the land by Lewis Blankenship. Reverend Isaiah Blankenship was among the first to purchase a lot in the town of Vernon, Indiana where he was a neighbor of Evan Thomas -- this Evan Thomas being either the father or brother of Hannah Thomas who married Lewis Blankenship, Jr. As Pat Torrence points out in another message, Reverend Isaiah Blankenship had among other children a son named Perry Magnus Blankenship (b. 1811) who was a civil war hero, builder of the Morgan County, Indiana Courthouse in Martinsville, Indiana and for several terms a member of the Indiana General Assembly. Perry was also a minister but of the Campbellite persuasion rather than the Baptist Church as was his father. Another brother, Reverend James Blankenship was also a Campbellite preacher and when he died in 1869 was the minister of the Gosport Christian Church in Owen County, IN. Isaiah's daughter, Elizabeth Blankenship, married my ancestor Reverend Chesley Woodward who was a Baptist Minister until his death in 1877 in Missouri. Also in the neighborhood with Lewis, SR., James Blankenship (b. 1773) and Isaiah (b. 1777) was Reverend William Blankenship (b. 1789, NC) who married (1) Isaiah's wife's first cousin Betsey Chambers. He married (2) Polly Whitsett whose family were with the Woodwards in Montgomery County, KY. Reverend William Blankenship left a will in Vermillion County, Illinois where he died. I have a file of information from descendants. He spent most of his active ministry in the same neighborhood as Reverend Isaiah Blankenship -- even serving some of the same rural churches of the Coffee Creek association. Pat's ancestor is Mary Blankenship who married James Chambers in 1809. James was the brother of Reverend Isaiah Blankenship's wife, Polly. Mary's son, Alexander Chambers, wrote a letter to William Chambers which he printed in his book, The Chambers Family, Trail of the Centuries. In this letter, Alexander said that his mother was the aunt of Rhoda Blankenship who married Avery Chambers (brother of Betsey Chambers who married Reverend William Blankenship). This Rhoda Blankenship was the daughter of James and Alis Blankenship (James b. 1773). So this letter establishes that James Blankenship and Mary Blankenship Chambers were brother and sister. Reverend Isaiah Blankenship also had a daughter Rhoda Blankenship. The name was passed on among the Woodwards. Reverend Chesley Woodward named a daughter Rhoda Blankenship Woodward. He also had a daughter named Margaret Stockton Woodward; I have not determined why this name was chosen. But, the Stocktons, Chambers and Blankenships were close neighbors in Rutherford and Burke Counties. I have a large collection of electronic data on these families in a PDF file. If anyone is interested, please contact me. We have been unable to tie these together as a family: James, Reverend Isaiah, Lewis, SR., Reverend William and Mary. They may have been from the family of the Lodowick Blankenship who is listed on the 1790 Burke County, NC census. Lodowick and Isaiah's Chambers in-laws were all listed in the Morgan District that included parts of both Rutherford and Burke Counties. Isaiah later paid taxes in Burke County and his father-in-law, John Chambers, sold land in Rutherford -- with the deed calling him a resident of Burke County, NC. James and Lewis are listed together on the 1799 and 1800 tax lists of Woodford County, Kentucky and the later move to Jefferson County, Indiana but apparently after Isaiah. Best.

My thinking for this is: I have been told that he could not read or write English, this leads me to believe that he was of another nationality other than English. The Germans are known for the shape of their noses. I for one have the big nose. One other thing is that the Germans tend to have a darker skin coloring that the people in England. This could ask the question of the dark skin in our families today. I have found out through all of me research and with the help of the great people here on the posting board that Ralph may have been a weaver by trade, he also could have been a tinsmith. Going on this information I would guess again that he would have to have some kind of reading or writing background. I have seen where Hudson Blankenship, son of John B. Blankenship, son of Ralph Blankship, opened trade between many cities in Virginia. You do not do this type of work without some type of reading or writing. I think Ralph and Martha both could read and write in some language, I am just not sure at this point which on that was. I am also thinking that Martha taught her boys to read and write and they would have taught their children. OK enough of my thinking and I will be quite for a little while. I will not answer any rebuttals to this because all of this is just me thinking out loud. I do not have any proof of any of this. Sue B. Altice

Hey researchers, In my many efforts to locate the one and only Francis Clapp that was imported by our Martha on July 9, 1724, I have hit a huge brick wall and need all the help I can get. First, I have not found a Francis Clapp (Male) in east coast states around the year 1724. I am even guessing that he might have been at least 18-30 when he was imported but still found nothing. I then took the year 1724 and did a plus or minus of 20 years for all the locations and that turned up nothing. I even tried to look for him as if he was a baby in 1724 and if he was a old man in 1724, nothing there either. I then started looking for the Clapp family that was in Virginia and may have been close to Martha. Not a lead one, that have gotten me no where. The only lead I have to work on right now is the one sent to me the other day of the Clapp's and Blankenship marriages. I am hoping to make some kind of connection there. Then to top it off I just did a search on the Clapp family in general, just to see what would turn up. I found one branch of the Clapp family that came from Germany and one that came from England. Now which family did Francis Clapp come from? Your guess at this point is as good as mine. I am starting to think that Ralph and Martha and all of those around them were in a witness protection program from the King of England. Below is just a K. I. S. S. (keep it short and simple) version of the two Clapp family and this information was taken from Rootsweb.com. The set of Clapp's that came from England seems to be the family that moved to Mass. and was neighbors with Ann and James Blankinship. The Clapp from Germany seem to have settled in PA then moved on from there. I do realize that there is a very short distance between Mass and Pa that's what making the job so hard trying to keep the two family separated. So far I have found no real proof that these two family were connected in any way. Here if I may, invite all new comers to check the Rootsweb archives that is a wealth of information stored that. I myself have bookmarked the archives and I use it very often. Sue B. Altice ID: I3046 Name: Johann Jost Clapp Sex: M Birth: 1669 in Istha, Hesse Death: in probably Berks Co.
