My wife descends from both Daniel and Reubin thru Mark & Frances. However, we have a third Alabama BLANKENSHIP whom we cannot positively identify. She is Lavinia BLANKENSHIP who married William Anderson GLASSCOCK in 1847 Coosa County. In the 1860 Talladega Census, a Edmund BLANKENSHIP, age 55, is enumerated with Wm. Anderson & Lavinia's family. In attempting to track land records, I find that Henry BLANKENSHIP lives very close to Thomas GLASSCOCK ( Wm. Anderson's father). I vacillate between believing Edmund and Henry are Lavinia's father. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Ted & Joyce

My sister lives in Clanton Alabama, I will ask her if she knows this Blankenship. Our line is Albert Cicero(9),William Miles(8),Richard James(7),Solomon(6),Daniel(5), Hudson(4),John (3)Blankenship,Ralph(2),Ralph(1)Blankensopp. We are originally form the Coosa County, Elmore County area, Wetumpka, Al From what Don said in the next post since we are from Daniel I will look in my information and see if I can find anything on him. I remember reading some post from someone in Ruben's line on here too maybe they will see this and know something. There are so many different people posting and I am so new to this that I can't remember all of them. Evdon Stogner

Evdon, I checked with my cousins in alabama. They still live in Sylacauga. But they did not know this Al Blankenship who is in the marines. We are Reuben's line with Reuben Buck, son of John B, being my gggrandfather. It is good to hear from someone who is Daniel's line.

Irma: I cannot ident this one, the Al is probably an aka, but is most likely of Reuben's or Daniel's group. When I'm in Calera in June for the reunion I will see if I can find out who this one is as he is most interesting to me, as I'm retired Military and try to track the proud Blankenship Military History along with the Stockdale's.

Since bjbrownig@xwv.net has failed to post their "puzzle", a new "IT" has been chosen for this week: The new "IT" is: jennifer@crucialsystems.com Here's what to do: 1. You have until 10 PM Sunday night to post your wanted BLANKENSHIP information. 2. Choose ONE name out of your BLANKENSHIP file that is a brick wall for you or that you just want additional information on. 3. Post everything you know about that person to the list - the rest of the list will help you throughout the following week - until a new "IT" is chosen on Friday - to find out anything and everything about the person you chose as possible. IF YOU HAVE NOT POSTED BY 10 PM WEDNESDAY NIGHT ANOTHER PERSON WILL BE CHOSEN AS "IT". IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT A NEW "IT" CAN BE CHOSEN. Should you have any questions, please contact me. Let's have fun!!! Kay

Wife? Children? 3. Who are the parents (and children?) of Eli Floyd BLANKENSHIP m. Brooke ALLEN 6-27-1902 in Woming County, WV?? 4. Are the various spellings of Blankenship (i.e. Blankinship, Blankingship, Blenkinship, etc.) documented as to the origin of those spellings? What IS the proper spelling of the name? I have always thought BLANKENSHIP was the proper name but what proof is there of that other than that being how Ralph first appears to us and the most commonly used spelling??? For the sake of uniformity wouldn't it be easier to change the spellings of all the various branches to reflect BLANKENSHIP and keep a note in the applicable files that the name was spelled differently on census records, etc? Just a few random, late-night thoughts lol. Kay

QUESTION: I have never seen any of the Ralph's referred to as "Sr" "Jr" "II" or "III" on any documents I have seen other than someone's ged file or "Notes". Does anyone know if such documentation actually exists or are these just researchers various ways of distinguishing between Ralph (m. Martha), Ralph his son and Ralph, his grandson? Kay

Hello out here! Have had some time getting my queries to go through. Thanks to Kay I believe we have cleared up my email problems. Talking about brick wall's .. I have a river dam blocking!! Looking for info on Perry Lee Blankenship, died in September of 1940, in Tallassee. He was married three times and I believe his last wife was named Roxie. She died when my Dad, Joseph Andrew Blankenship, Sr. was a few months old. One of my Dad's sister, Lucy Piper, lived and died in West Tallassee. Would love to know Perry Lee's parents or just anything! Thanks so much for any help. Catherine

No, just want to make sure that if I copy the source I have the full source :-) That way if/when I want to eyeball it to use as a definite source if I can't find a priamry I'll be able to find it. Don't mean any offense but Cd#29 could be cd#29 that John Smith recorded, ya know? That's why I wanted to know if it was the FTM cd's or what.

Is this anyone's direct line? Am wondering if this Juliann BIBY might be associated with the BIBBEE family of Jackson County, WV. Also, wondered if maybe the John BILBY that married Corthia Lee is really a BIBY and the "l" is just a typo? Could be a cousin or something of the mother? Thanks - Kay Descendants of James T.
