Sandra, Maybe it would be easier then if we just keep you subbed with the home address at AOL since we reply TO THE LIST you would simply just get the messages at one place? Let me know please which address you would like to be subbed to. "this is from Mike" just isn't much help - are you talking about Mike B in VA and could you forward the material that came up with this hypothesis when you are at home? THanks, Kay

my info is at home, you have to write to me there, aol, also I prefer Sandy like my signature.

Sandra - earlier you posted about Nancy's name more likely being sTOWERS and I was wondering about documentation or reason for that other than a stray female on a census? Roger (?) says FRENCH is correct and this is his direct line and has family history of the name? Please post the why and wherefore's - thanks, Kay

Thanks I was down to Nicholas Co. Ky where my mother was born at the Blue Licks and one of her uncles owned and lived in cabin that is still there over grown with weeds and STICK TIGHTS (don't know if you know what they are but worse type of BRIER you can get on your clothing). My cousin and I were mess getting to an old fire place. Anyway the picture reminded me of that building.

O.k. Don, Thanks for that info. That is my direct line you are speaking of and I had never heard anyone say where the Green came from. I just knew it was used often. Now I know. I had assumed it was just the old English custom of naming after the father, the mother, the father's brothers and etc. Remember what they say about assuming. Ha. Good to hear from you.

My information is that the GREEN is from Green County GA, as may of Reuben BLANKENSHIP's children were born there before continuing on to Shelby and Coosa County AL.

Several men in the Blankenship are named Green. Must have originally been some mother's maiden name that was handed down. There are 3-4 Miles Green Blankenships in my direct line from Hudson.

Thanks for all these FYI posts but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start noting the name of the BLANKENSHIP it refers to in the heading/subject line so if someone isn't interested in that particular name they don't have to scan down to see what or who it pertains to ... I personally like to collect all these little tidbits of info but I know alot of people on the list get alot of email and when you spend time reading something that ends up just saying "married Mr. Blankenship" with no name or date it gets a little frustrating ...

ALso, please capitalize the name(s) like Joseph BLANKENSHIP which also makes it easier to scan the article, find the name and read a sentence or two to see if it's something someone wants to keep.
