Thanks to everyone who has helped me with my query about Salvadora Baird and her husband, Phinish Blackburn. I wanted to learn more about their children and who Phinish's parents were. I have found a Phineas Blackburn that I think might be him on the 1860 and 1870 census. The age fits and the name is close. I would love to learn if this is a match.
