I am looking for information on Cole Blankenship and Lizzie Coe. Their daughter, Emma M. Blankenship b. 1885 in Russell Co. KY. Was married to my grandfather, John Cris Wells b. 11/26/1882 Russell Co. Kentucky. They were married 3/4/1918 at the Cole Blankenship Home in Russell Co. Kentucky. Emma died in childbirth trying to give birth to twin girls, Verda Wells and Verla Wells. They all three died 4/12/1921. I have the marriage bond for John and Emma and death certificates for the twins. I am searching for the parents of Cole Blankenship and Lizzie Coe, also any dates for them. I found this on the Russell Co. KY. list. I don't know if this is the same family or not. But it really looks close. : Date: 11 Feb 2004 08:10:22 -0700From: <A HREF="mailto:lila607@yahoo.com"><lila607@yahoo.com></A>To: KYRUSSEL-L@rootsweb.comMessage-ID: < MFMBM002z5Bl8LgFuoe00000bcd@mfmbm002.myfamilycorp.local>Subject: [RUSSELL COUNTY, KY] Re: John BLANKENSHIP had a daughter Matilda b.

Chris, I think it is the same family. His name was John Cole Blankenship. Lula was my husbands grandmother. I was married to Perry Joe Dykes, son of Arvis Dykes. Arvis' mom was Lula Blankenship Dykes. Lula also had a brother named Clarence, who has descendents on the list. Check out Frank E. Ferry's Family Treemaker page "The Unknown Dyches" He has personal interviews with Lula. I would love to put this family all together. I am a BLANKENSHIP descendent.
