As someone said earlier, I also believe my Blankenships are in the witness protection program LOL Jacque Pearce Reynolds >> Hi Jacque, If the William I posted earlier this week is a brother to your ggrandmother, then she father and mother would be the same as Williams, they would be Isham Sr. Blankenship born 1738 and Sarah Wilkinson born 1740.

Janet, I don't have any ties in with what you have listed. However, and I don't think this is going to help you any I just received another list of Blankenship marriages and in it lists a Cindrilla Bartram who married a Lawson Blankinship Sept. 30, 1852 in Lawrence, Ohio. Oh, believe me I have not given up hope just hit a lot of brick walls and I don't mind sharing, I do mind when I don't at least get a "thank you" for the time I put in. I do a lot of lookups here in Virginia for people all over the place and I can't think of one time when I've sent information back they haven't said "thank you" even if I can't find their person. Enough said. Back to searching!!! And as someone said on this list or another......"I believe my missing Blankenship's are part of the witness protection program!"

Dorothy, This may be a clue. Mackness and Magness have been used interchangeably on some records. In Rutherford Co. N.C. Perrygreen Magness was a Captian in the militia during the Rev. war. He was a well-known Baptist preacher. The Blankenship family in Southern Indiana named a son Perry Magness Blankenship after this man. My guess is that there is a connection between the Magness/Mackness family and this Blankenship branch. Have you seen any evidence that Abraham Mackness Blankenship ever lived in Southern Indiana? Pat

Do you have any information on the Blankenships from Carter County. Looking for the parents of Daniel Blankenship who married Sarah Rankins in Kanawha County now West Virginia Abt, 1802. He had a brother named John. One of his sons was Johnson Blankenship who migrated to Phillips County, Arkansas. Joe Trainer

Janet, I don't know if any of this will help, it's just some stuff I have found. Breckenridge Co. Ky. Children of Edward Blankenship and Mary Priest daughter b 21 Dec 1852 Joseph b. 22 June 1855 There is also a Wiliam F. Blankenship b. 11 July 1855 s/o William Blankenship and Susan Gibbs.

Thanks, Dorothy, I guess I have most of what can be found in the public records about Edmund Blankenship, unless they went to another county in which the records are not public and resting in the basement somewhere, or those in private records as Bibles, etc. Thanks for response.

Sue B., Thanks for looking. As usual my family doesn't show up anywhere. I think they were from an other planet. My Nancy Godsey born 1811 North Carolina died 1880 married Abraham Mackness Blankenship. Thanks again for doing such a great job in helping others. Good luck in your searches also. Dorothy H.

Carol It is stated on his birth certificate that he has. In the early days of West Virginia, they had company doctors at the coal mines and people were born at home.The doctor's sent the births to Washington.

Sue, I am sorry you have been disappointed in getting info on your Blankenships on the List. I also have hit a brick wall with my Ky Blankenships and I suppose no one answers for one or two reasons, maybe more. I would guess that they know nothing about that line, as in mine which I will detail later, and the other may be that some people need more info to know if it fits with theirs, I just don't know. I am sorry not to hear, also, but I can't give up hope. I have been looking for over 30 years for anything about my gr grandfather. He didn't die so long ago, as genealogy goes. He died about 1904-10 in Hardin Co, Ky. Edmund or Edwin Blankenship was born about 1822 in Ky or Va according to census. He was found in Breckenridge Co and Hardin Co Cendsus from 1850-1900. He married Mary Priest of Breckenridge family and they had several children. She died in the mid 1860's and he remarried to Sarilda Bowles and had more children. I have info that Ed had one brother, James who also married three times. They lived near a Wm Blankenship as given in the 1860 Hardin Co, Ky census, and I suspect he could be their father. Yet there is no other clue. This Wm was born in 1875 in Va and bragged in a newspaper article in 1878 that he was 113 years old! I have a list of his children, but no death date or even marriage date to either of his two wives. The first one was named Cindarilla ___ and the second was Sarah. I am also looking at a Henry Blankenship in Christian Co, Ky who was b in 1776 in Chesterfield Va and claimed to be 120! He married Sally Mason and had a large family. He died in late 1890's. So I guess none of this is familiar with you, either. I speculate they could have come from Blankenships in Southern Ky or some may have gone to NC from Va. All speculation.

Hi MrsLady Just read your info. on the Blankenship/Trent connection, and maybe I have a correction needed on my findings that I thought was a connection. I found this William Blankenship and Molly in Andrew Co., Mo., 1850 census, on page 84, Jefferson Twp., and thought it was the right family with the info. I had. Do you have any ideas on that census information. I have listed it below. 728/712 William Blankenship 84 m farmer Va. Molly 53 f Va. 11 Nov 1859 Martha 45 f Ky Jefferson Twp John Ellington 40 m farmer ? page 84. Thanks Pat in Idaho
