Ken, Ivory Blankenship Fitzgerald's father was JAMES BLANKENSHIP who was the son on LEWIS who was the son of HOUSTON who was the son of SPENCER BLANKENSHIP (born around 1800) and NANCY MEADORS. Sorry I haven't worked on this line but found the obit for Ivory and thought someone on the list might make a connection. There is a file on Ancestry.com for Ivory with more information than I have posted here. Pattie
