Its been here before, but here it is again, perhaps someone will connect: Myself: Byron Kenneth Blankenship; John C. Blankenship, b 1919 in Spencerville, Oklahoma; William Oscar Blankenship, b. 1887 in Liberty Alabama; Benjamin Franklin Blankenship, b. about 1849-1851 in Dothan, Alabama. (End of Trail) Family rumor has it that Benjamin Franklin may have been hung for the shooting of another man. Benjamin Franklin was married to Mary Jane Woodam (born about 1849-1851 in Dothan, Alabama) between 1868 and 1871. Mary Jane died in Watonga, Oklahoma on January 28, 1933 in the home of my grandfather, William Oscar Blankenship and was buried in Ft. Towson, Oklahoma . Benjamin had not been around for years..... ???? Benjamin's mother is believed to have been Nancy Coxwell, b. Abt. 1820. I would be very appreciative of identifying contacts in or around Ft. Towson, Oklahoma, and/or the Woodam family
