In the 1880 Union County census on page 530b there are the following families neighboring: * John Rufus Peeler (aged 46) and wife Martha Elizabeth (Blackwell) Peeler (aged 21) with children: Rufus S. age 3, Lula June age 1, and James Madison age 19. Also in the home are her (Martha's) borthers W. Zach age 17 and Joseph W. aged 15. * Neighboring are William Blackwell (aged 65) and Augusta (aged 40) >From other research I know that this John Rufus Peeler was married first to Sarah Ann Hambright who died in 1870. John Peeler died in 1907 in present Cherokee County. William Blackwell died in 1911 in Columbia SC. Augusta died after 1919. I have found one reference that lists Martha's father as Zachary Blackwell but unsourced. I am wondering if anyone is familiar with these families and whether William Blackwell and Martha Elizabeth Blackwell are related. Does anyone have information regarding the children of William and Augusta? Any help appreciated: CoachBetty@Softhome.net
