BUT this week, there was a posting on one of their children, Joe Cephas, who was brother to my ggrandmother. William was born in Greenup Co., KY 1840 and died in Conway AR in 1891. I haven't been able to found any info on William's parents and/or siblings. As someone said earlier, I also believe my Blankenships are in the witness protection program LOL Jacque Pearce Reynolds >> Hi Jacque, If the William I posted earlier this week is a brother to your ggrandmother, then she father and mother would be the same as Williams, they would be Isham Sr. Blankenship born 1738 and Sarah Wilkinson born 1740. Then from Isham Sr the line goes back like this: Isham, John B, Ralph. I hope this will help you out some. Sue B Altice
