I had an uncle who died in 1974 on Beckley WV. William Boyd Blankenship. His parents(my grandparents) were: George Washington Blankenship and Thala Rosa McCallister-Blankenship of Arnette WV. I beleive that my grandfather George W. Blankenship was originally from Lincoln Co. WV and my grandmother, Thala R.Blankenship was originally from somewhere near Charleston WV. I don't know if this will help or not. If anyone has any information on this would you please contact me. Thank you, Melissa Athey
