Is there anyone out there, that has a William C. Blankenship from Tennesse, born abt. 1823-26. He was married to Pamela June who was born in Illinois abt. 1832. Their children were Nancy, born 1849, Joseph L, b. abt 1862, and Louis b. abt 1866. They had their grandson's William L (born abt 1870), and Lameul (sp? could be Samuel, b. abt 1872) Giddeons, living with them in 1880. They probably had more children, unless these grandson's are Nancy's children. I have only found them on the 1860 & 1880 Texas County, MO Census. If these are your relatives please let me know! I have reason to believe that WIlliam was my Calvin Blankenship's brother.
