Hello Everyone. Ive been doing a little digging at the genealogy library in Independence, and found some new info. Gonna put it out there to see if I can see if this info links in with anyone out there: Lewis R. Blankenship (L.R. is his name on the 1900 census) born March of 1866 in Tx Co, MO. Married Daisy F. Isaacs on October 13, 1892 in Texas County. They had two children: John R, born Oct 1894 and Mary born July 1897, both in Missouri. If anyone has any further information or may be decendents of this line, I would be thrilled to hear from you, thanks!
