Not having the entire census in front of me, I don't know if there were other cities in the Blackburn township. I did search the entire Ryan census of 1910 and I did not find him. I also checked Waurika. I will be indexing the other townships in Jefferson Co, so do check the Jeff Co webpage from time to time. Also...be sure and check all possible spellings of the surname. Some enumerators were not good spellers! Sheridan
