Dear Martha, I don't belong to the list you mention, and I don't have any WI connections that I know about. My greatgrandfather, William Blackburn, was born in Ireland in 1840. By 1870 he was in Penn Twp, Westmoreland Co, PA. He married Sarah Matlack Brinton of the Brinton lines you mention. I am descended from George Brinton who married Esther Brinton at Old Swedes, Wilmington DE in 1753, also his son Amos Brinton wife Sarah Darlington, married 1778, also John Brinton who married another Matlack (Sarah). Are you aware that one of the sons of this bunch was named Brinton Darlington ? In view of all these connections, I am intrigued by the possible Lincolnshire Blackbourne/Blackburn information you sent. I have almost no data on my greatgrandfather William Blackburn born Ireland 1840. I have no data but only assume that he was born in Northern Ireland where Quakers from England settled, possibly Armagh. Do you have any further information on your Blackbournes before 1870 that might fit in with the foregoing ? I am copying the lists on this, and am requesting their assistance also. Thank you !!!
