Found this while researching my line. Thought you might like to read it. A letter written 1968 by Roy W. Blankenship: The following list is my grandparents and their children: Major McDonald Blankenship, born Missouri Esther Elizabeth Baggett, probably born in Tennessee. their children: Joseph Warren, Lewis Shelby, John Harvey, Henry Abraham, William Calvin, George Lemuel, (my father), Major McDonald (could have been named James) and Margaret (only one living at this time). Hope this gives you some new info. D.H.
