Hi Pat, Was reading your message to Paul and thought I would write you. My ggggrandfather was Isham Jr. is this the one you are related to. I also have been looking for my gggrandfather Gilbert who was born in Illnois but cann't find him anywhere. Are you reated to these Blankenships I am from the Ralph line. Thank You Bill Blankenship Searching the surnames of Adams, Blankenshp, Carpenter, Guinn/Guynn, House, Hughes, McClain, Wilkerson and Williams.

Thanks so very much for the Church of England information and the site that you mentioned about the Puritans, Separatists and the Pilgrims and their differences. It is a great lesson and one that all should read. Thanks again.

Hello , My name is Becky Blankenship (Maiden) I love the B. geneaology. Today I decided Im not willing to deleat 25-30 emails a day (for now anyway) so If this is the person who can take me off the list and unsubcribe for now, that would be helpful. I seem to not be able to ever see my direct family working on this, so until I can be that person who has time, Im off. Thank you and I'll be back later....Becky -----Original Message----- From: BKAYMEL@aol.com <BKAYMEL@aol.com> To: BLANKENSHIP-L@rootsweb.com <BLANKENSHIP-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, September 30, 2000 2:31 PM Subject: Re: [BLANKENSHIP] (no subject) >In a message dated 9/30/2000 3:53:57 PM Central Daylight Time, >copperheadroad@dellnet.com writes: > ><< George Washington Blankenship...???????? >> > > >I must have missed this post somehow?

You might try Fayette County and Macon County Illinois. There are Blankenship families in both of them.

Hi Paul, Was wondering where you come in the Blankenship line I have some relative b. in Illnois but can't find the county they were born in. My line is Ralph, John, Isham Sr. Isham Jr.,Gilbert, Blackmore Hiram or B.H., and Gilbert my grandfather. Wish I could help you but having problems myself. Does this mean we might be cousins. If I do come across anything I will let you know keep in contact with me once in awhile. Hve you checked with Kay list owner for the Blankenships she knows alot on the Blankenship family , Good luck Thank You Bill Blankenship Searching the surnames of Adams, Blankenshp, Carpenter, Guinn/Guynn, House, Hughes, McClain, Wilkerson and Williams.
