Coleman BLANKENSHIP was on the 1850 Andrew Co. MO census, Nodaway Twp., Household 154. Information that I have says he later went to Kansas. (I can find more on this, if you want to know.) With him on the 1850 census besides his wife were children Sylvester, Martha (Patsey), William, Lemuel, Rowan, Major M. and Albrady. William BLANKENSHIP was on the 1840 Buchanan Co. MO census (Nodaway Twp., Household 149) and the 1850 Andrew Co., MO census, Platte Twp., Household 712. The AC census includes a girl, Martha, aged 14. I don't know if she was his daughter or not? William is buried in Greenwick Cemetery, Lincoln Twp., Andrew Co. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more specifics. Monica Eshelman
