I have traced our Blankenship ancestor back to Bedford, Va. where it appaears he lived before he moved to Tn. Al. Tn. He was born 1786 in Va according to census (I'm not sure where). His name is Rowland and I can find nothing to link him to a parent. Do believe Edmund was his brother or maybe cousin but can find nothing on Ed,mund either. Wish I had something to share with you but as of now find no links to the names you listed. Abraham pops up quite frequently in my research but have no connection at this time.
