Hey Guys, Its been about a month since I posted my last Blankenship request so I thought maybe I would give it another shot in hope that another person who has decended from Calvin and Deliah Blankenship will see this positng and be able to get me past the brick wall I have ran into. Here goes nothing: Calvin Blankenship Born: 1820-25 in Tennessee Died: (November 23, 1863) maybe 1864 Parents: probably born in Tennessee William C. Blankenship (53 yrs), married to Pamela J. in 1880, maybe his brother Calvins Bro He was a Corporal in the Confederate Army In the Mitchell Cemetery are two rocks with carvings; on the west side "C. Blankenship 1864" and next to it, a rock that just says "Delilia" (These rocks are gone and replaced with white granite stones by great grand son Earnest C. Blankenship. On the east side of their graves are two rocks, one with A.R.H. Jan 9, 1874 and one has L.D. Harper 1874. These stones mark the graves of one of Calvin and Delilia's grand daughters and her husband. This is info that my Gr aunt Pearl included in a letter she wrote me in 1994 before she died. Married: Delilia born in Illinois around 1823-24. Died: after 1880, before 1900 --- Unless she moved out of Texas CO and that is why I cant find her Both of her Parents were born in Tennessee. Calvin and Delilia's children, all born in Missouri: William Born around 1844 or 1845 Angeline Born around 1847 Lame or Iame around 1841 Sandy Born around 1851 Franklin O. Born around 1852 John Born around 1855 David Born around 1857 Martha E. Born around 1860 Henry W. Born around 1864 Delila was probably pregnant when Calvin died. They resided in "boone township" and Kinderpost Mo. I obtained a lot of info from Texas Co Hertiage books from ppl who were gracious enough to send it to me. But I know nothing more than what I have listed. Misty
