Again, this is some very exciting information you have found! Not only does it mention William Blackwood, but it mentions Eliz. Blackwood - this is the first proof I have had that she existed. I am a little confused by the information in Deed Book P. I am not familiar with the writing style....Is John THOMAS (I believe he married Martha Blackwood - daughter of William Blackwood) receiving the money from the sale??

Chocy, This information is great!! Up until now, I have not had specific information that William was the father of James, John and Thomas. I have seen his name mentioned by other researchers, but I have not been able to place them together. To me, this is a tremendous find. If you ever come across an Elizabeth BLACKWOOD, I would very much appreciate it if you would let me know. Speculation is that she may be the wife or daughter of William BLACKWOOD.

Julie, Sorry I missed your originial post and question while I was changing computers; but as to the name SHAW in connection with the other surnames mentioned in the records, you might find the following SHAW information interesting in your research as it appears the family has already removed from Virginia. The BLACKWOOD deed shows the relationship between John as the son of a William BLACKWOOD. There is also quite a bit of real estate activity concerning the LAWRENCEs in the same areas. Chocy "Warren County, Virginia Deed Book D" Page 313 Ralph SHAW, Eli SHAW, Urias SHAW, James SHAW, Tilman SHAW, Andrew SHAW and William SHAW all of Licking County, Ohio Attorney Appointment: 21 Feb 1850, 18 Mar 1850 Attorney appointment of Eli WATKINS of Warren County, Virginia to settle their affairs in connection with their mother Miram SHAW's estate in Warren County, Virginia.

Gloria, Thank you for your quick response! I will definitely check out Warren County for William J. Blackwood. It is very strange, because the Shenandoah County, VA Court Minute Book (1816-1821) was referenced in two other researchers notes. In one reference, it even states that "the date of the court session was 9 Mar 1818 and the reference is found in the fourth entry for that particular court session." I am guessing that maybe they were looking at the original?? Also, I think it is interesting that in my earlier question regarding an Elizabeth Blackwood - she was suppose to have been arrested for assault on William Lawrence - that William Lawrence was listed in the court case you just sent me with James and John Blackwood. From my understanding, John and James Blackwood are brothers, and Elizabeth was possibly their sister. She somehow assaulted William Lawrence, and one of her brothers testified against her, while William - possible father - testified on her behalf. She spent some time in prison and had a large fine. Again, I have not been able to find this case, but researchers before me have cited Shenandoah County papers. If you run onto any Blackwoods, I would love to hear about them. I live in Illinois, and have done most of my research on line. I will be sure to pass along any information I find in Warren County. Thank you very much for your time and efforts. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
