It sure is funny when only a year ago I started doing my family research and when I posted information inquiring about Indian blood in my Blankenship family I was criticized and scoffed at for even mentioning it. I am glad to see that some light is being shed on the Indian blood. My ggrandfather was Cherokee Indian according to my grandma. But, I can't seem to find proof yet. Nor can I find any information on my ggrandfather's family his parents and siblings. His name is William J. Blankenship born in MO according to census records he was married to a Rosa E. Franks. They had 12 children and they lived in AR, TX, OK and LA. Both of my ggrandparents are buried in Walnut Hill Cemetery in Bradley, AR. I wish I could get more info on them too. I do have dates of birth and death ect... Well, I wish everyone the best and happy hunting. I enjoy reading the post. Regina in TN
Regina, can you clarify if that is Bradley, AR or Bradley County, AR...if Bradley is a community, what county is that?
