Thanks Nancy, I checked White Co. for a marriage record for him but there was nothing. I found him on the 1880 White Co. census with his wife Belzara J and two small children. I am actually looking for the Belzara J. I have lost this family member who would have been this ones age and her family was from White and DeKalb Counties. The Belzara J. I am looking for was the daughter of Jonathan W. and Sarah Hastons Blankenship. After the 1860 White Co. census I can find nothing of her except this name appearing as the wife of Brandon Sprowles in 1880. Belzara J. was such unusual name I thought this was probably her but wanted a marriage record to confirm or deny. I have also check for Bell and Sarah Blankenship and still nothing. I will do some checking in Warren, VanBuren, and Putnam. Thanks again for your help, Pattie
