Felix Luther Blankenship, born May 1883, was the son of Samuel Newton Blankenship (1844-1909 McNairy Co, TN) and Lucinda Taylor (1852-1936 McNairy Co, TN). One of his brothers, Edward Lonzo Blankenship (1880-1976), lived in Louisville, KY and still has two daughters living there. Samuel Newton's sisters were: Jane, Elizabeth, Malvina, Martha, Lucretia (married Capooth), Julia (married Henry Melton). Luther's daughter, Sadie Deming, is still living in Ramer, TN. You can write her at Rt 2, Box 284, Ramer, TN 38367. Luther's grandson, Bobby Blankenship can be reached at 901-239-4911. I know he lived in the Louisville, KY area for a while also. Good luck.
