Hi Pat, You don't know me but I was reading what you sent to Tammy I just wanted to say I love your sense of humor....I'm a Blankenship too but haven't really got a clue as to where we fit in except that my father hailed from PeachCreek Vest Virginia in about the 1900 hundreds. If you go on the Jerry Springer show let me know. I'll be sure to watch...Keep smiling...Hope (Blankenship) Beason -----Original Message----- From: Patricia A Torrance [mailto:editor-patter@juno.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2000 5:52 AM To: BLANKENSHIP-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BLANKENSHIP] Re: BLANKENSHIP-D Digest V00 #389 Hi Tammy, Yes, I'm here -- if I'm the Pat you mean. I think there are two of us, so maybe you mean the other Pat! This line is not mine, as far as I know. My Blankenship ancestor married a Chambers, so after 1809 I have not looked at any Blankenships lines. You see, I wouldn't know which lines to look for because I don't know where she fits in. I just try to fit her into any families that came to Southern Indiana from North Carolina around 1800. By process of elimination I have a pretty good idea that she belongs to one of three families, but which one of those Blankenship men in North Carolina was the patriarch of these families, I cannot tell. Maybe if science advances enough, we can all submit to DNA and find out if we are related! (Steady out here -- before you turn purple -- I'm just kidding!) Hey! Wouldn't that make a great Jerry Springer show?
