I am trying to locate the parents of my gggrandfather, Elijah Blankenship, b: abt. 1795. I believe he is in the Ralph Blankenship lineage but have been unable to find the connection. The first time I found him was in the Buckingham 1850 census, age 55. His wife's name was Nancy(?), age 55. Their children were Julia, Richard S., Sarah, Leonard C., Linvill E., Parthena, Susan, Walker S. and Charles. They also show up in the Buckingham 1860 census, Dist. #2, New Canton. The next time I found Elijah was in the Buckingham 1880 census, age 86....living with his daughter, Martha A. Taylor, age 58...her daughters, her grandson and a servant. NOTE: Martha was not listed in the 1850 census probably because she had already married. Would also like to find Nancy's maiden name, their marriage date, and death info on both. Is there anyone living in Buckingham that has access to any of this info? Thanks in advance for any help. Janice Blankenship Jackson
