I'm back with an new email address, still looking for Asa Blankenship parents. Asa was born abt 1800-03 VA. m: Sarah Martindale 1821,VA. She was born in Patrick co VA 1805.They came to IN. about 1830 He died abt: 1845-50. IN Greene / Monroe co. IN. Have seach for a marriage bond for them since Sarah would have been abt: 16. But have't been able to find one. Mr.Carter had done reseach on the Martindale & Carter family once said that Asa was a Trailer. But I can't find that any where. Asa mother was Elizabeth Blankenship and her father was old ASA. The young ASA had a figth maybe with family (Trailer) and took his mother maiden name Blankenship.I have look for this too and can't prove it.If anyone knows this family let me know. DEB
