I believe this is a corruption of black Deutsche, or German. my Mom used to say we were Dutch but I found out we are German.

Benjamin's father was fluent in Creek and taught school on the reservation. They evidently up and left the reservation in the middle of the night and went to Missouri where the family contracted influenza and all but my grandfather and his brother, Aurthur, who was staying with his grandfather, died. My grandfather was raised by his grandfather in Missouri and Kansas.

Since whatcher@caveland.net has failed to post their "puzzle", a new "IT" has been chosen for this week: The new "IT" is: bjbrownig@xwv.net 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 MONDAY 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

I love the idea. would be nice if a few more mailing lists started this too. Louann
from Pat: I have been working this over and I think the confusion comes becasue W P Blankenship married the two anderson women who were first cousins, but all the children come from Nancy becasue her mother was an Oliver and that is ow Thomas Oliver Blankenship got his middle name. The second marraige to Betsy only lasted a few months and she was left a widow which is the clue to an Anderson family mystery as to why one of the ANderson estates was left unsettled from 1847 all the way to 1871. Sorry I was not clear on this but I only got the Betsy ANderson data very recently and my original Blankenship notes cam from a descendent of Alexander Hugo Blankenship before 1997 before I made a habit of capturing the emails into the notes section of my genealogy program.
