But I don,t want material on them it's George and Thursia That I need. I,ll get to George's parents in a little while. But for a while I thought it was Arthur M. Blankenship, but it's not. NOW, I,m thinking that George and Thursia came out of Lee County,Va. traveled thru Claiborne Co,Tn then thru Tazewell Co,Tn. then into Scott County,Tn. then crossed into Wayne County,Ky. And there in the 1880 Census of Wayne Co,Ky. along with a Granddaughter Martha Taylor. So one of George's Son was married to a Taylor girl Here is GEORGE W. BLANKENSHIP & THURISA A TAYLOR BLANKENSHIPS children 1- Martha Ann born 1842 in Va. 2- Amanda E. born 1845 in Ky 3- Nancy E born 1850 " 4- John W. born 1853 " 5- Robert A. born 1856 " 6-James T born August 1st,1858 in Adair County,Ky. 7- Thursia born 1847 in Ky. died Sept 6th 1856 in Adair Co,Ky So the 3 girls that George & Thursia had at first one of them married to a Taylor,But I have no ideal which one. But Thursia Ann Taylor Blankenship had two brothers living in this area. James Taylor b- 1814 he lived in the Monticello City area of Wayne Co,Ky. with the followin children 1-Elihue Taylor b- 1840 in Va. 2-William b- 1842 in Scott Co,Va. 3- John b- 1844 in Scott Co,Va. 4-Moses Newton b-1847 " " " " 5-Amanda b- 1849 " " " " 6-Lafayette M b- 1851 " " " " he m/ Dec 23,1873 in Wayne Co,Ky to his couson Nancy Taylor 7-Martha b- 1852 in Wayne Co,Ky 8-Louisa b- 1854 " " " " Now, if you do not mind If you come across any material on any of the following children,whom married to 1st time 2nd time any dates at all. I would really thank you a big bunch, I,m hopeing that this isn,t asking to much from you. I,v been searching Wayne County,and Adair Co,KY and having no luck.My document also states that George died in West Virginia. No month day or yr listed or no county listed in West Virginia. I also know that I,v sent you alot of info but if I don,t send this material to you I know that you want be able to do the search. But please what ever you fine even if it's of another Taylor-line please send what ever you can. I do have about 6 different Taylor lines from out of Wayne-Adair County Ky area,s that I,m working on. And this part that I,m sending to you is one search that I,m having a hard time with. So I hope that this isn,t asking to much for you to help me with. But I really thank you very much for seeing what you can do,I,ll close for now and wish you the best of luck and great health in this new coming year. Thanks again Don [email protected]
