"Pg. 362: 1 April 1690: There is due to Mr. Richard Kennon, 8000 acres for importatioon of: "Ralph Blankinship".......... (Ralph Blankinship was one of 160 people listed as being imported by Mr. Richard Kennon - usually awarded 50 acres per person. It does not say when they were imported or from where.) However, further in the book under AGES AS GIVEN IN DEPOSITION IN 1688-1697 BOOK: "Pg. 577: 2 April 1695: Ralph Blankinship, 33". This not only gives his age, but also tells you there was a court action in which he participated. Jan Pritchett-Litvin
