I am trying to begin my search for my BLACKMON [BLACKMAN] family from somewhere in Scotland. I am wondering if certain families had ''areas'' from which they hailed, and if this would help me to locate them? I have a fairly good idea as to when they left Scotland for the US [SC]. Another thing, does anyone know if BLACKMON was a clan, or a sept of some clan? I'd appreciate any and all help with this. Bill p.s. - oh.......I'm looking for James BLACKMON [b. 1760] and his wife, Anna CLARK [b. 1764]. I know for certain that they were in Lancaster County, SC by 1804, due to court records of a land deal.
