Blackstone Bible of Canadian Blackstones

jim38_1 — 2011-11-02 21:35:51Z

I recently received an e-mail from a thrift shop in British Columbia where the owner was kind enough to inform me that he has a Blackstone Bible. This Bible has Genealogical information in it and the thrift shop owner expressed his desire to get this Bible in the hands of some of the ancestors mentioned in it. He gave me permission to post this here, and below is the information I have.

Subject: Blackstone family Bible

Jim, Good morning,

We often get old books donated to our thrift shop in the lower level of Peachland United Church In Peachland, British Columbia. One such recent donation was a very large bible printed in the early 1800's. The books is complete but both covers are detached and there is much foxing. Of interest, however, are four handwritten pages devoted to family ownership among which the name Blackstone is most prominent. Most of the dates are in the early to mid 1800's. The bible itself is of little value but I can not in good conscience discard it. As an historian by nature I would like to pass it to a Blackstone family member who would perhaps appreciate its significance. Hence my message to you. Are you aware of any Canadian Blackstones that would be interested. There would be no charge other than mailing costs.

Thanks very much,

Cheers

Re: John S. Blackstone origins

GeneTick1 — 2011-10-12 18:29:18Z

I'm related to, and have info about, Judge John & Jane (Glover) Blackstone. What I've seen in the records, such as they are, led me to suspect that the founder of the one Illinois-southern California lineage, John S. and his siblings were adopted. Problem, though, is that prior to John & Jane's move to the area southwest of 'Chicago,' they left a census record showing children. if I recall correctly.

Re: Blackstones of Pownal, Maine

col1568 — 2011-07-15 05:02:46Z

Hello Cousin,

That's terrific news! Yes, Jefferson is in Lincoln County. I have reason to believe Abigail Jones was the daughter of Capt. Joseph Jones (B. abt 1734) and Abigail Clarke (B. abt 1736) of Damariscotta Mills/New Castle, Lincoln, ME married abt 1769. Abigail Clarke's parents were Josiah Clarke and Patience Blackstone. Also, Capt. Joseph Jones was the captain of Private Benjamin Blackstone's (William's Father) regiment during the American Revolution. Fits perfect! There is also a Mayflower Lineage on Capt. Joseph Jone's Maternal side back to Isaac Allerton of the Mayflower.

Thanks so much!

David

P.S. Now we just need to document it!

Re: Blackstones of Pownal, Maine

dianadmom — 2011-07-15 01:04:14Z

You posted your question about Nabby a long time ago, so you may have already learned the little information I have. Her real name (according to my notes) is Abigail. Her maiden name was Jones. She was from Jefferson, Maine, or Lincoln County, Maine. Maybe Jefferson is in Lincoln County. I don't know Maine counties at all. Her youngest son was born July 1798. His name was James, my great-great grandfather. Captain William Blackstone remarried in 1825.

I haven't heard anything about having Native American blood.

BLACKSTONES & NESBITT Family, Augusta, (Richmond County) GA

jim38_1 — 2009-03-01 14:57:19Z

Does anyone have any NESBITT family members in their database that lived in the Augusta, GA area 1850 - 1910? My name is Blackstone, but my Y-chromosome DNA is linked to the NESBITT lineage. My guess is that this is from illegitimacy or adoption. It could be that the parents of a male NESWBITT child died and the child was raised by a BLACKSTONE family and the child took on the BLACKSTONE surname. Here are a few of my BLACKSTONE ancestors:

James Coleman BLACKSTONE (spoke Indian)
b. July 22, 1863, Augusta, GA
d. March 10, 1933, Augusta, GA
married to Susan "Suzie" Ann Hutto

Zephaniah M. "Dock", "Zeptha" Blackstone (gunsmith to Native Americans)
Richmond Factory Guards, Barney's Company(Civil War), Augusta, GA
b. 1837, GA
d. After 1890
1'st wife: Behethlan "Hetty" ELLIS
2nd wife: Amanda E. Thomas, Columbia County, GA

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Blackstone DNA Project

Blakeston48 — 2008-11-12 16:49:27Z

Dear Chrystal,

There is a DNA available for females (and males): Mitochondrial DNA (MTDNA). This is passed on through the female line ie it is inherited from your mother, who in turn inherited it from her mother. It wouldn't help you with your Blackstone line. That would really require a brother, father, uncle or male Blackstone cousin testing.

All the best,
Chris

I have been able to find him and his frist wife, Sophia Hoskins living in Maryland in 1870 or 80 census. He later moved to New Orleans and married his second wife, Medorah(Dora) Tucker.

Re: Blackstone DNA Project Results

Blakeston48 — 2008-03-28 13:33:06Z

For those of you connected to the Durham Blakiston/Blackstone family I thought that you might be interested in some recent DNA data on their very early prehistoric background. My cousins results place then firmly and squarely as Celtic. In that he has been ascribed to a haplogroup given the name R1b1c10. This haplogroup is connected to the La Tene celtic tribe.

See this websites:
http://bj1-2.electronicbox.net//S28/

And Wikipedia's comments:
R1b1c10
The R1b1c10 (S28) subclade's discovery was announced in 2005 by EthnoAncestry. Although sample sizes are relatively small, it appears to reach a maximum in Alpine Germany and Switzerland. Ethnoancestry's commercial and research branches have shown that S28 is found from Greece westward to the Bay of Biscay in France. It appears to follow the distribution of the La Tene Celtic peoples. The percentages here are much less than found in the Alps. It has yet to be found anywhere in Ireland or Spain. Northern Italy seems to be a meeting place for both S21 and S28. Like S21, S28's specifications were not initially officially published by EthnoAncestry against their previous assertions that data would be publicly published; but again the marker was subsequently identified independently (as their "U152") by Sims et al (2007).

William Baldwin Blackstone

ConniePerdue27 — 2008-02-25 02:18:39Z

I think that I have found your William Blackstone and family. On the 1920 Mendes,; 1700-Militia District, Tattnall, Georgia census, there is Will Blackston, 52, born in Georgia. He is widowed and is shown with his children, Foy, age 16, born in Georgia being the second oldest. On the 1920 Glennville, Tattnall, Georgia census, William B. Blackston, 42, is shown as head of household. It is hard to read but his wife's name looks like it is shown as Ezma M., 34, and they have been married 10 years. They have 7 children, with 6 living. Foye, age 7, is the second oldest child. On the 1900 1432-Militia Dist, Tattnall, Georgia is W. B. Blackston, 33, born Oct 1867 and his wife Ezzie born June 1875. On the 1880 4-Militia Dist, Columbia, Georgia census is Baldwin Blackstone, 13, with his father George F. Blackstone, 33, born in Georgia and his mother Frances, 40, born in Georgia. I believe that George's father is Bennington Baldwin Blackstone and his mother is Sarah Ann Baston. I think that Bennington's father is James Blackston(e) and his mother was Frances Rees.

My oldest known Blackstone is Richard, born 1791 in South Carolina. He is on the 1850 Gordon County, Georgia census before he traveled to Poinsett County Arkansas and then to Titus County Texas. Richard's daughter, Hannah Longstreet Blackstone married Isaac Roger Riddle in Texas. If anyone has information on this line, please let me know.

Thanks,

Connie

Jim,
Apparently I did not anwswer your query. I believe John B was born in 1778 in Virginia and died in Chambers County, AL, in 1850. I believe David was born in GA. in 1828. When and where he died I wish I knew. I talked to Denson and Phyllis Blackston from Five Points last night about them. David and Sarah are believed to be buried at one of the two Mt. Hickory Primitive Baptist Chruch cemeteries in northern Chambers Co.;however, Denson and Phyllis have been to these and have been unable to find their graves.

Jim,
If I'm not mistaken, Reid's Chapel is on Ft Gordon. The phone No. for Ft Gordon information is 706-791-0110; they should be able to direct you in the right direction. I live close to Ft Gordon, let me know if I can assist.
Love the information you've collected on the Blackstone family, seen your web site.

Reid's Chapel Cemetery, Grovetown, GA

jim38_1 — 2007-02-06 18:27:05Z

This is kind of a GA Blackstone Genealogy 101 question, but can someone help me remember where Reid's Chapel Cemetery is? On my website I have one called "Blackstone Cemetery" in Grovetown with a virtual tour. It is on the Columbia County side. http://www.jimblackstone.com/Web_Pages/Bstone/Cemetery/GA.ht...

Is this Reid's Chapel Cemetery?

An NGS map I just looked at shows Reid's chapel on the Richmond County side of the line very near Fort Gordon.
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lon=-82.2189&lat=33.4072 If Reid's Chapel is on Fort Gordon, does anyone know the base number of the cemetery? I have all the Fort Gordon cemeteries on my website at:
http://www.jimblackstone.com/Web_Pages/Bstone/Cemetery/FortG...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jim,
Various sources have John B being born in Virginia ca. 1778. He married Mary Cliett in Georgia in 1817. David was born in Georgia ca. 1828. They moved to Chambers County in the 1840's. In the 1850 Chambers County census John B (age 71) is living with Mary and several children and David is living not far away with his new wife Sarah. I believe John B passed away that same year. In the 1860 census, the widow Mary is apparently living with David and Sarah. David was in the 47th Alabama Infantry, Co. I, from 1862 on. He returned to Chambers County for the 1870 and 1880 censuses and must have passed away before 1900. I'm sure he and Sarah are buried somewhere in Chambers County. I don't know where John B is buried either but Mary is in Macedonia cemetery west of Lafayette. David's son Leroy D Blackstone (my grandfather) was born ca. 1865 and passed away in 1949. He is buried in Lafayette city cemetery I have been told. I believe his first wife (and my grandmother) Rosa Burroughs (b 1873, d. 1911)is also buried there.

Nice to hear from you - I like your site.

Regards,
Bob

Hi Bob

And thanks for responding. Congratulations on all the research you've done. Must be great to trace your family back that far.

As for my father's side -- they're from the Maryland area, so I don't think we're related. We also happen to be Black.

Nice hearing from you though.

Wrblackstone — 2006-12-13 18:44:23Z

Hi, K.
My gg grandfather was John B Blackston. His son David was my g grandfather and his name was spelled Blackston in some places and Blackstone in others. About half of David's nine children spelled it each way. My grandfather Leroy D and father William W. kept the e while the children of my grandfather's sibling Hilliard dropped the e.

The Blackstone/Blackston family settled in Chambers County AL in the 1840's and many of them still live there - Denson Blackston of Lafayette is one.

Are we kin?

Regards,
Bob

Rosa Burroughs Blackstone

Wrblackstone — 2006-12-11 19:07:08Z

Rosa was my grandmother. She lived with my grandfather L. D. Blackstone in Chambers County AL. She died when my father William Wheeler Blackstone was only 8 months old. I have only been able to find an obituary and census listings (1880-for lineville,Clay,AL), 1900 and 1910). I would really appreciate any further information that someone might be willing to share.
Thanks, Bob
