I've found the marriage record for John W. Blankenship Jr & 'Mannie' erry - February 10, 1912 in Martha, Cabell, WV. They were listed as 18 for him/20 for her and her birth was Cabell Co. They don't fit in to any of my families that I know of, but I've added them to my database and if I find anything else I'll let you know. Since John W. Jr was born in Wayne Co. I'm sure he fits in somewhere...just don't know where. My g-grandfather was also John W. Blankenship but he married Laura Huff. Do you have any other dates or names to add to your John W. Blankenship Jr??

HELLO to both of you! My name is Lynda Logan and I'm interested in anything that says BLANKENSHIP!!! I will be more than happy to share what I know about James (I show his name as JOHN) Porter and Amacetta Blankenship. I know nothing about John Porter's parents or siblings, but they had 5 children (that I know of) 1. John Porter 2. Samuel Porter 3. Wayne Porter 4. Frances Adaline Porter 5. William W. Porter Amacetta Blankenship was the d/o Levi John Blankenship & Permilia (Blankenship) Blankenship. - Levi John was the s/o Liggon Blankenship & Frances Dillon. (can give you a list of their children if you want.) Liggon was the s/o Peter Blankenship, Sr & his 1st wife Ann Belcher. - Levi John's wife - Permilia was the oldest child & d/o Jesse Blankenship & Margaret Stafford. Jesse was the s/o Peter Blankenship, Jr and his wife Jemimah 'Jennie' Perdue. Peter, Jr was the son of Peter Blankenship Sr & his 1st wife Ann Belcher and was a brother of Liggon's. So that takes care of the 2 Blankenship lines that actually go back to the same line. Levi John & Permilia Blankenship had the following children: 1. Samuel L. Blankenship 2. Amacetta Blankenship 3. Francis Marion Blankenship 4. Matilda Jane Blankenship 5. Mary Frances Blankenship 6. Jesse Blankenship 7. William Henry Blankenship James W. Brown was born March 1829. He married Amacetta Blankenship December 18, 1859 . She was born March 1829. Children of James W. Brown and Amacetta Blankenship: i. Laban L. Brown was born 1861. ii. Louisa Jane Brown was born 1863. iii. Kitkarie 'Kitty' L. Brown was born 1864. iv. Permilia Brown was born April 30, 1865 in Beech Fork, Wayne, WV. v. Amacetta Brown was born 1867. vi. Sarah Josephine Brown was born 1869. vii. 3. Levisa Belle Brown (alias "Visa Bell Brown") was born November 7, 1871 in , Wayne, WV and died September 7, 1939 in , Wayne, WV. I see you have 1 more child than I do because of his dates, he would not have shown up in any of the census records. Thanks and feel free to contact me if you would like more on the Blankenships. (my link is through my maternal grandmother - Ruby Marie Blankenship d/o John W. Blankenship & Laura Huff. John W. was the s/o Frances Marion 'Doc' Blankenship & Margaret Crockett. My Francis Marion was the s/o John Blankenship & Sarah Stephenson. And this John was the s/o Jesse Blankenship & Margaret Stafford and was the younger brother of Permilia (who married Levi John) and was Amacetta's mother. So Amacetta & my gg-grandfather Francis Marion 'Doc' Blankenship were 1st cousins.
