Also for Cicily Liggon they do not have prove of her last name either. There is a Mary Clay in Chesterfield Co., Virginia in 1710-25, the parents of this Mary was Henry Clay and Mary Mitchell. This was taken from the LDS website. I have no prove of this but it seems logical to me, sence one of the children-grandchildren was named Mitchell Clay. Sue

Hi, Was wondering if you had any info on Gilbert Blankenship who was married to Isabell House. They were my grandfather and grandmother and Gilbert was Blackmore Blackenship son. Do you know who Blackmore Hiram Blankenship mother was. I thought it was Elizabeth Hughes but was told it was Edy Lane. I appreciate all the info you put out on the web. Thank You Bill Blankenship Searching the surnames of Adams, Blankenshp, Carpenter, Guinn/Guynn, House, Hughes, McClain, Wilkerson and Williams.

Bob, I have 4 David Blankenships with no dates of birth - do you maybe have a spouse's name?

Passing this on from another list: Just passing on a great website I discovered - you can use it to browse on-line or buy historic maps of London, UK, which can help make sense of census addresses etc. Includes some historic Ordinance Survey maps (very detailed, often note farm names etc). Enter 'maps' + the area you are searching for. eg map islington gave me 16 hits. Hope it's useful. http://collage.nhil.com/categories/history.html

His spouse that I'm aware of was Nancy Ann Coxwell. They could have been married and/or lived for a time in Warren County, GA. (seems like Wilkinson County and Bibb County pop up too) I've got my fingers crossed that we have a "hit" here. Thanks . . . . . Bob Bryant (Please acknowledge receipt of this message)

I'm back with an new email address, still looking for Asa Blankenship parents. Asa was born abt 1800-03 VA. m: Sarah Martindale 1821,VA. She was born in Patrick co VA 1805.They came to IN. about 1830 He died abt: 1845-50. IN Greene / Monroe co. IN. Have seach for a marriage bond for them since Sarah would have been abt: 16. But have't been able to find one. Mr.Carter had done reseach on the Martindale & Carter family once said that Asa was a Trailer. But I can't find that any where. Asa mother was Elizabeth Blankenship and her father was old ASA. The young ASA had a figth maybe with family (Trailer) and took his mother maiden name Blankenship.I have look for this too and can't prove it.If anyone knows this family let me know. DEB

Hey researchers, I ran across this and while John in not in my direct line of Blankenship's, I thought some of you could use this information. This is the will of John Cape that mentions John Blankenship, as grandson, in his will. It is not that often in research work that I find a mother's name, Jane Cape Blankenship, and a grandfather's name, John Cape, all in one place. I hope this helps some of you with you direct line of Blankenship's. Maybe Kay can add this one to her file of Wills and Deeds for the Blankenship family. Sue John Cape volunteered early in 1776 served several tours as Pvt. under Capt. Param Booker and Col. Lynch in the VA troops. Commissioned Lieutenant in 1778 and served on various tours, a part of the time under Capt. James Martin and Col. Crockett in VA troops and was at the surrender of Cornwallis in 1781.
