Does anyone have a David Blankenship in their data base? This David was born in, possibly, Henry County, GA about 1814. Spent from then until late 1840's early 1850's in East Central GA and Central GA. Any help would truly be appreciated. Thanks . . . . . Bob Bryant

Bill, I am interested in the information that you have on Elijah Blankenship and Judith Snow. My husband is descended from their son Isham's daughter Judy Blankenship. Are you related to this line?

Laura, This is one of those interesting situation, My name is Byron Blankenship and my daughter is named Laura. My Grandfather was William Oscar Blankenship and he had a brother named Washington Lafayette Blankenship. I have three wives for Washington Lafayette Blankenship; Etta Dunn, Emma Spears and Rosa Hogg... I have no record of children with Etta or Rosa, but with Emma he had the following children: Violet, Mary, James, Edward, Willie Ben, Gertrude, and an unknown name. The parents of Washington Lafayette Blankenship, were Benjamin Franklin Blankenship, b. Sep 18, 1849/50 in Dothan, Alabama and Mary Jane Woodham, b. Novemeber 29, 1849/50 in Dothan, Alabama. Brothers and sisters of Washington Lafayette were: Anna, Victoria, Alice, William Oscar, Cora, Donier, Emma, Jennie, Mancel Cole, and Tommy. I think the bottom line here is "Whats in a name"... even with all the similarities, I doubt there is a direct link.... what do you think? I would be interested in any other information you have on your Blankenships, especially dates for your William Lafayette, i wonder if he may be a decendant or ancestor of Washington Lafayette Please email me direct, at bkblank@home.com Byron ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Blankenship" <blanksix@netpci.com> To: <BLANKENSHIP-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2000 6:33 AM Subject: [BLANKENSHIP] William Lafayette BLANKENSHIP and Jenny WHITE > Does anyone have info on this line? > William Lafayette Blankenship and Jenny White. > Sons; > Leonard Blankenship > Harold Burton Blankenship, married Bessie Tacker(MO) > > Possible siblings of Jenny; > Byrd > Oma > Mable > Lottie > Opal > > Just started researching my husbands family, any help would be appreciated. > Thanks, > Laura > > > ==== BLANKENSHIP Mailing List ==== > Checkout the Blankenship webring at www.webring.com and Jacque Reynold's Genealogy Homepage at http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/r/e/y/Jacque-P-Reynolds/index.html - Nice job! >

No not quite right Don !!! 24 364 tpresber means as stated on the FreeBMD. Surname: Blenkinship First Name(s): Ann District: Pickering Vol: 24 Page: 364 Contrb(s): tpresber Marriage March 1838 On the 1st July 1837 a system of civil registration for England and Wales of Births,Marriages and Deaths (BMD) regardless of religious denomination commenced. The country was divided into registration districts, approximately the size of an average English county, which had a superintend registrar appointed. These were given an identity initially of Roman numerals (eg XXIV (14)) and later numerals and characters (eg10b 537) Each registration district was in turn divided into several sub districts with a registrar of BMD's appointed (eg Pickering or Penrith) At the centre of the system a general register office (GRO) was established in London with a registrar general appointed. Copies of all Birth,Marriage and Death certificates were passed to the GRO and stored in registers (Volumes) and a separate index was created every quarter of the year (March quarter being January,February and March,etc) of the names in alphabetical order. These indices are available to the public but copies of the certificates may be bought quoting the name of the person,the quarter and year,district,Volume and page in the volume. Thus the FREEBMD will only apply to BMD's after 1837. However from 1538 there was a requirement for a register of Baptism's, Marriages and Burials to be kept by each Church of England Parish. Obviously if you were not a member of the C of E you did not appear in the register. Catholic,Quakers,Jews etc some times produced there own register but at the time were kept secret. Not all the registers survived from such an early date having been burnt,destroyed or even eaten by vermin,etc. but there is a large number in existance from the 1600's. and these are mainly deposited at the appropriate record office for each county. Church registers still were kept after 1837 but note these are baptisms,marriages and burials not births and deaths. Church records were obtained and indexed by the Mormon Church to produce the IGI which is readily available. Unfortunately other unproven records were also integrated into the IGI but it good starting point !!! Most of the Blenkinship's (and relevent Blenkinsop's) are in Cumberland and Westmorland (note Cumbria is an amalgamation of C ad W created in the 1970's) and certainly Blankenship does not appear in records in England until the 1960's There is a link between Blenkinship and Blenkinsop(p) and the names are freely exchanged until the late 1800's depending upon who created the records. Many people were illiterate and surnames were little used in local areas Areas where the Blenkinship's lived in the 1600's were Castle Carrock, CUL. and Brough, WES. A few lived in Carlisle area but none,until later in the 1800's,at Whitehaven. Brough looks interesting but there were a large number of non conformists with thus few records. A final comment ,as I understand it, Ralph was first mentioned with a large group of Black and White people. Was he travelling with them at the time ? riginal Message----- From: Don Blankenship <donb@megabits.net> To: BLANKENSHIP-L@rootsweb.com <BLANKENSHIP-L@rootsweb.com> Date: 02 May 2000 05:41 Subject: Re: [BLANKENSHIP] The surname Blankinship, Blenkinship, Blenkinsop and Blenkinsopps in Britain >IN RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION FROM: MTUCKER@BELLSOUTH.NET > >.........What does "24 364 tpresber" mean > >ANSWER: >Those strange alphanumeric sequences are actually submitter references >listed in HTML code which cannot be posted to this forum.

We knew this was coming! No more free E-mail Bill 602P will permit the Federal Govt. to charge a .05 cent charge on every delivered E-mail. Please read the following carefully if you intend to stay online and continue using E-mail: The last few months have revealed an alarming trend in the Government of the United States attempting to quietly push through legislation that will affect your use of the Internet. Under proposed legislation the US Postal Service will be attempting to bill E-mail users out of "alternate postage fees." Bill 602P will permit the Federal Govt. to charge a .05 cent surcharge on every e-mail delivered, by billing Internet Service Providers at the source. The consumer would then be billed in turn by the ISP. Washington DC lawyer Richard Stepp is working without pay to prevent this legislation from becoming law. The US Postal Service is claiming that revenue due to the proliferation of e-mail is costing nearly 230,000,000 in revenue per year. You may have seen their recent ad campaign "There is nothing like a letter." Since the average person receives about 10 pieces of E-mail per day in 1998, the cost to the typical individual would be an additional .50 cents per day, or over $180.00 dollars per year, above and beyond their regular Internet costs. Note that this would be money paid directly to the US Postal Service for a service they do not even provide. The whole point of the Internet is democracy & noninterference. You are already paying an exorbitant price for "snail mail" because of bureaucratic efficiency. It currently takes up to 6 days for a letter to be delivered from New York to Buffalo. If the US Postal Service is allowed to tinker with E-mail, it will mark the end of the "free" Internet in the United States. One Congressman, Tony Schnell (r) has even suggested a "twenty to forty dollar per month "Surcharge on all Internet service" above and beyond the government's proposed e-mail charges. Note that most of the major newspapers have ignored the story, the only exception being the Washingtonian which called the idea of e-mail surcharge "a useful concept who's time has come" (March 6, 1999 Editorial). DON'T SIT BY AND WATCH YOUR FREEDOMS ERODE AWAY! Send this E-mail to EVERYONE on your list, and tell all your friends and relatives to write to their Congressman and SAY "NO" TO BILL 602-P! It will only take a few moments of your time, and could very well be instrumental in killing a bill we don't want.

Mrs Lady@aol, There is an Ann F. Blankenship married to Jacob Plybon May 19,1873 in Lawrence Co. Ohio. This is taken from Betty Carson's book. D.H.

Hey researchers. I just received this from copperheadroad@dellnet.com (Tammy Blankenship), and I thought it may help to add some light on Ann Blankenship (1702) and her family. "My little Blankenship Leaflet that my family had made up in the 50's says: Ann Blankenship was with child, her father took her to Mass. The father is a John Plybon, because they went to court over support. A lot in my book was not confirmed, and that is what I am trying to find out. They say the son's name was Lewis, which is the one I am looking for, but my Lewis' father is said to be Plydon Blankenship. Has no reference to a mother, but a friend found them on the Census 1850. Elizabeth w/ son Lewis age: 22. That would fit but have no proof. " Please remember, this has not been proven, I am only sending it to the post so others may see and help me look for a John Plybon, and I am thinking now James, son of Ann may have been, James Lewis Blankenship?????????? I am going to look into this further. Thanks Tammy for the information. Tammy, the information I have on James Blankeship, born 27 October 1720, son of Ann Blankenship, daughter of Martha & Ralph Blankship. 1. Gravestone indicates that he was the founder of his family in America Blankinship Cemetery, Great Neck, Marion 2. 27 October 1720 Second child to be born of Scituate, Mass. 3. 10 May 1813 "Founder of his branch in America" (from tombstone) 4. 10 May 1813 On his tombstone it reads(son of Ann). 5. James "Ailas GORDON" Blankenship was found in the book "Blankenship Records" by Julia Gougler. 6. On page 202 of Colonel Blankenship's book "Blankenship Family History" the Col. mentions that a man named GORDON was the father of James.
