Some of them are still for sale and I found them listed on some Blankenship Web page. Otherwise you can ask for them through interlibrary loan. 1. Col Leslie C. Blankinship (his spelling), "Blankenship Family History" is the first book I read which gave some good family groups and records and most people have read it. 2. Gayle K. Blankenship, "Blankenship Ancestors". I have not seen it, but plan to get a copy. 3. Betty Carson published two volumes of Blankenship records. They may no longer be available for sale, but you can get them through Interlibrary loan. 4. Mr. D. L. Blankenship of Sharpsburg, Georgia 30277 wrote a very good book in which he studied some of the original records used by Col. Leslie and came up with some different conclusions. His line in mainly in Georgia. It is well worth getting, also. Other than these books, I have mentioned the book "Southern Indians" by Robert S. Cotterill, U of OK Press, 1954. It is the story of the civilized tribes before removal and is really helpful to anyone thinking about Cherokee intermarriages. It is available through interlibrary loan also. I hope one is the book you are looking for.
