IOW Wills and Deeds Vol. 2 P. 249 I have been trying to learn more about the Blounts, an aristocratic old English family, in an effort to find out more about the origins of my own family, the Cobbs. http://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/imagegallery.php?EntryID=R048 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blount I'd love to work with you more on this.
