We need info on the following Blackwell families excerpted from the index: 207A , 209B, 224 A, 264B, 265A, 312B, and 329B. Looking for Mary A. Blackwell b ca 1843, so probably age 7. Mary should show up as Blackwell or Shepherd on 1860 but I do not have the census index for that. Any marriage that may have occurred prior to that with Thomas Revis would be just prior to 1860, so comparing the two should determine Mary's maiden name of Shepherd or Blackwell. Barb may have already looked at Shepherd but in light of this new information from Joan, if someone could check 1850 Buncombe 304A and 313B for same Mary A. above it would really be helpful.
