Hezekiah Blankenship was the son of Joel Blankenship and the grandson of Hezekiah and Rhoda Meador Blankenship. Does anyone know the maiden name of Hezekiah's first wife, Susan. Hezekiah and Susan first appear in the 1850 Macon Co. census. Tradition has it that Susan was the daughter of Peyton Law. That assumption is probably the result of an error in an early index of the 1850 Tenn. census which placed Hezekiah and Susan in the household of Peyton Law. The census itself shows that they were in the adjacent household. In any event, that Peyton was only 5 years older than Susan. Hezekiah later lived in Monroe Co., Ky. and married a Mary Smith in 1868. They were back in Macon by 1876, where Hezekiah died in 1888. I would greatly appreciate any information about the family of Susan. Jerry Blankenship San Saba, TX
