Where did you get the proof that this Anne married Peter Blankenship, no one in the Blank group has this to my knowledge! Also as far as I know no one has the mother of Mary Obediance Clay. This is what I have, please make additions or corrections >> The Blankenship research team on the posting board have always said that they do not have PROVE that Peter Blankenship Sr. married Ann Belcher, they all have told me that he may have married an Ann but prove of last name is just not here yet. Also for Cicily Liggon they do not have prove of her last name either. There is a Mary Clay in Chesterfield Co., Virginia in 1710-25, the parents of this Mary was Henry Clay and Mary Mitchell. This was taken from the LDS website. I have no prove of this but it seems logical to me, sence one of the children-grandchildren was named Mitchell Clay. Sue
