Hi Well until recently I had that Isham sr went to TN but while I haven't seen the data support for that I am certain the person who sent me the info is a good researcher. Also seems the Isham jr that you have thought was the William that went to TN and the son William that moved to IN is most likely correct. Your court documents would be of interest to Jim and Karen on the BLANKENSHIP-L as he is compiling the documentation on all the Blankenships. I can send you a file that Don Blankenship sent me of the raw data on Isham Blankenship I have Isham jr as died in Monroe TN Dec. 5 1836 The Col. Leslie Book has William son of Isham sr as comeing to In-Il but he wasn't correct, there later research shows him returning after a year it Virginia later to Kentucky. I had found where some one had him dieing in 1836 also, but another had 1842, but I haven't found any support data for eithier. He made a documention for pension in june of 1836 saying he had previously lived there 30 years. Seems we come up on more info all the time and perhaps we'll get it stright. I'll send this to the Blankenship group and see what the respond with.

Thanks for the information on Isham Jr. I am most struck by the statement that he died before Dec. 1836 and his son William was already deceased. My gggrandfather William Blankenship died 7 Dec. 1836 and I have court documents to prove this. I have long thought that Isham Jr. was my William's father, but haven't been able to prove it. This William was born in NC 1789 and moved to Indiana in the early 1800's. Do you have an opinion regarding Isham and this William?

I started out with the Col's book also and the best advice I received was to put it down and do my own research. He has a lot of good information and made a wonderful contribution to the Blankenships. But he did get the Ishams confused. Isham Sr. There is no will for Isham so no record of his children. Several researchers (Julia Gougler and Gayle Blankenship among others - and I agree from looking at records) put together a possible family from census, deed records. and the move from Franklin VA to Rutherford NC. Isham Sr died in Rutherford about 1805 and is buried on Cane Creek. Someone, and I believe it was Harold Rollins, told me he had seen the grave a long time ago. Wife Sarah appears to have died before 1810 as well. Possible children of Sr. are: Robert Hezekiah; Isham Jr; Elisha; William; Elijah; Zachariah; Presley; Barnett; Rhoda m. John Blankenship probably son of Peter. There is also Elizabeth who married Jess Dillion who might be a child and Smith and perhaps Jesse. Isham JR. is a bit easier - Was in Blount Co. TN by 1800 - he died before Dec 1836 and there is a court record in Monroe Co. TN of the estate listing his heirs: Spencer; Gilbert; John; Betsy Watson wife of John; Polly Farmer wife of Elijah; Sally wife of William Adams, William - deceased; Barnett - deceased. I have a note but no proof that he also had a son Isham. I know there is another Isham floating around. I have not been involved with him as Zachariah is my husband's ancestor and I got involved with that family because of that. Not going to Florida - to Salt Lake City. Betty

It hasn't got real cold yet here in Hattiesburg MS, except for a couple of days. No snow or freezing rain. But I just check a map and I am farther north than San Antonio, so I guess it could happen here.

San Antonio is thawing out - last night at 10:30pm they were still saying overnight freeze, school closures etc etc for today but we warmed up to 33 overnight and seem to be holding steady there ... all you can hear is "drip drip drip" as the ice melts away ... unhappy children headed back to school as the public schools have standardized testing starting today ... and the zoom of cars on the highway again although speeds are still being held down to 40-50 mph and there are a few still closed ... some schools and businesses with delayed openings but not many ...

The only John t according to our records was John Albert Blankenship b 8/1/1909 Elmore Co. AL and d4/13/1967 Montgomery Co., AL I only had one uncle John and the John Henry listed above would not have been him as this one died in 1942 so I don't know who they are. Albert married Annie Talley after grandmother died on 9/11/1927 in Wetumpka Al. I do not know if they had children and if so who they were. Granddaddy died when I was very young and grandmother died in 1925 before I was born. I thought that Albert was in Carolina Cemetery but he is buried in Old Bethesda Church Cem, Coosa Co. Al T21 N, R 19E, S 25 This information is from the records complied by Freddie Blankenship If you need the other children of Albert and Laura let me know and I will post them. Evdon

Hi I have a Spencer that was son of Isham born 1873, Now when Isham went to NC in 1779 (Spencer wopuld have been 6 yrs)Isham moved on to TN in 1806 (Spencer would have been 28) I have seen nothing that says he went with his father to TN. There was a reference in Pike or Floyd Co. KY where a Spencer and several other Blankenships were told to fix thier road) A brother of Spenser, Robert Hezekiah married Rhoda Meador in 1791 in Franklin Co. VA I have seen different reports on this line that Brother of Spenser and son of Isham, Isham jr moved to Ohio. The perpensity of children to name thier children after fathers and uncles, would there is a connection, especially if the Meador family went to NC with the Blankenships.
