Hi researchers, I am still looking for the John Blankenship that married Mary Ann Dillion. In my search I ran across this information. The names and dates would fit with Peter Sr. and Cisley Blankenship.

This must not be the same William L., as the social security death index shows Harold BLANKENSHIP born 26 Sept. 1908, died Sept, 1978, Carthage, Jasper co., MO. . So if this is William Lafayette, he would have died five years before Harold was born. -----Original Message----- From: PSB [SMTP:patpm@mindspring.com] Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2000 12:47 AM To: BLANKENSHIP-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BLANKENSHIP] MO Blankenships If this is the same William L.

Great site. Caution: many census records reside on the county GENWEB sites and NOT the state GENWEB archives, so you should also look at the county pages. Conversely, many databases/documents on the state page are NOT linked to the county page. I found a cemetery for Bibb Co. GA through a global surname search in GA that way.

Hi researchers, I know I am one big pain in the back side lately but I am trying hard to figure something out. I am old hehehe and my brain does not work as good as it use to so bare with me. I wanted to find out about Hudson Blankenship, son of John B. Blankenship for one reason and one reason only. I am starting back with my line of Blankenship and double checking everything. In doing this I ran across the following information and wanted to see if there was a connection to Hudson and his family. 160. Milly4 Blankenship (William3, Ralph2, Ralph1 Blankship) was born Abt. 1766 in Bedford Co, Virginia. She married Peter Kennett 26 October 1789 in Bedford Co., VA, son of John Kennett and Catherine Payne. Child of Milly Blankenship and Peter Kennett is: 355 i. Solomon5 Kennett, born Abt. 1798 in Bedford Co., Va; died 01 August 1860 in Floyd Co., Va. He married Rebecca W. Hudson. I wanted to find out if the Rebecca W. Hudson was related in any way to Hudson Blankenship. If anyone know please send me proof of this please. Will someone please send me the proven chart on Hudson Blankenship and who he married and his children. Thanks for you help, Sue

I read in it that John named his daughters Sarah and Edith, both with the last name of Blankenship. So my question to you and all of Blankenship researchers is if Sarah did not marry Isham, then which Blankenship did Sarah marry? And if Edith did not marry Hudson which Blankenship did she marry? Who is Mary Wallace, widow of John Wallace? Mary is in the time frame of Ralph ad Martha son's. Could she have been married to James or William?????? I do not have a clue to any of this.

In reply to Blankenships that went to Ill. and Mo. I have a Henry Blankenship my great grandfather who was born June 12 1836 in Perry/Letcher Co. KY his parents were William and Rhoda according to his Pension Records. Henry being in the Civil war in the 7th West Virginia Calvary from June 1863 to Aug. 1865, He states that both William and Rhoda died in Letcher Co. His mother died after the War. According to family verbable history from my grandfather and father Henry had family that moved to Mo. and according to Pension record Henry and 3 sons with wife Rebecca (Trent) moved in 1905 to Three Brothers Arkansas stayed about 4 years and moved to Cincinnati Ohio. One son married a Sarha Boatman in 1808, had a son Jean born in 1909. Also some of Henrys family were in Cattletsburg Ky, Boyd Co. I have been unable so far to connect who children of William and Rhoda were except Henry. I have also found no record so far of a William married to a Rhoda that could of been the parents of Henry born in 1836. I have found a picture of Parrum and his wife on line in Fleming Co.KY I believe. Don't know if this helps but if you run into any thing that connects appreciate any info.

Does anyone have information or suggestions for me. I know that: Parrum BLANKENSHIP was born about February 27, 1822 in Kentucky, died August 17, 1869, Schuyler Co., Missouri. He married Amanda WILSON January 1, 1847 in Greenup Co., Kentucky. Marriage is recorded as Panun Blankenship and Manda Wilton. George COLLAY was bondsman. Amanda WILSON was born about September 10, 1832 in Greenup Co. and died May 28, 1890 in Schuyler Co., Missouri. Have no ideas who her parents were. I believe that Parrum's parents may have been Thomas and Permelia Blankenship. Both born in Virginia; Thomas about 1798 and Permelia about 1796. Their children were Nancy (md. Leonard Bartram), Parrum, Elizabeth (md. Lake Hood), Asa, Henson, Mary, Adaline, William (md. Sarah Elizabeth). Parrum, Thomas and William Blankenship were all listed in the 1860 Census of McDonough Co, Illinois. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I have been working on this group for over twenty years.
