Sandra: The Elizabeth Blankenship b.1752 in Va. is in my line. Your spelling of her spouse's name John Moracet should read John Morriset. He is one of my early grandfathers. (There was certainly lots of phonetic spelling of surnames in Colonial Virginia.) Do you know the name(s) of their children? It is my understanding that they had only one daughter Mary before Elizabeth's early death. He married later Fannie Fore (an anglicized form of Faure) by whom he had more children. Do you have any more information on Elizabeth?
