1.5.4.2.3.5. John Blankenship.
Vicky Sue Blankenship wrote 3 Mar 2008:
"Our family records indicate that John Blankenship was b abt 1799 and married Elizabeth Sheeks 27 Aug 1818 in Wayne Co KY. Wayne Co later became Russell Co. Elizabeth b abt 1805. Her lineage is accounted for rather well through Mark Arslan. Literature is found listed under Sheek online. Some of our family says John was married to Martha McFall. I don’t know that for a fact one way or the other. Just Elizabeth Sheek. Some say that a John Blankenship b. 1788 was married to Ancatron McFall called Catherine, which is true, but he is different than our John (of 1799). This is Hudson generation 3's son." (Hudson m. Edith Wilkinson; therefore, John Blankenship who m. Ancatron would be brother to Jesse Blankenship)
John Blankenship is listed in the 1850 Russell Co., KY census age 51 with wife, Elizabeth & children: Levy age 19; Nathan age 16; Elizabeth age 14; George age 11; Susan age 9; William J. age 7 & Luvina age 4. His father, Jesse Blankenship age 84 b VA is living with him. John is listed in the 1860 Russell Co., KY census. He is age 65 & wife Elizabeth is age 55. Elizabeth Blankenship is age 65 in the 1870 Precinct 2, Creelsboro, Russell Co., KY census living with her son, Ben Blankenship & his wife Mary.

Bockstruck, a genealogist in Dallas, TX. ..."his conclusion was "probably Elizabeth Archer..."because: she was there, at the right time, in the right geographic area, and there was no differing record of marriage."
Charles & Elizabeth's first grandson was named Archer, his name could have come from her maiden name. Also see page 297.

(Pages 35-65)
John Worsham b abt 1653 Henrico Co., VA s/o William & Elizabeth. He lived in Bristol Parish on Swift Creek in Henrico Co., VA. He md Phebe whose maiden name is unknown. By 1679 he was living in Bermuda Hundred. Ten families lived in the community, including John Worsham. He was very involved in community affairs and had many land holdings. He was a member of the Grand Jury for the years 1677 & 1678. He was Justice of the Peace for many years. Some times he acted as attorney for his brother in law Richard Kennon. John witnessed many wills. He was appointed to serve as Sheriff of Henrico Co. on 1 Jun 1696 and again in 1701, 1714 & 1715. He was granted a license for operating an ordinary in Henrico County in 1709. John died in 1729 leaving a will dated 9 Jun 1729 and proved 6 Oct 1729 in Henrico Co.
John Worsham was witness to the 25 Dec 1688 will of Edward Straton: "In the Name of God Amen, I Edwd Stratton Senr being in a Sick weak condition doe make & ordain this my last will & testament in manner & form as followeth: First. I will & bequeath my Soul to Almighty God who gave it hoping in his merceyes to receive full & free pardon & absolution & remission of all my sins, & my body to return to ye dust from whence it came & to be buryed at ye discretion of my Execrs hereafter named.

Signed & sealed in ye Gl Elam, psence of his John Warsham Edwd E Stratton Senr [SEAL] Mary Platt mark.
Bushy Hartman, 2000, wrote in Edward Stratton of Bermuda Hundred, Virginia: "The name of Warsham appears often in connection with the Strattons, and it may be that the Warshams and Strattons were connected by an early marriage of which no record has yet been found. Other names found in connection with the Strattons of Henrico, are Wormach, Kendall, Gower, Epps, Travers and Mosley. They were neighbors, and evidently friends, in Virginia. They may have come from the same neighborhood in England." (http://www.wisecomp.com/ccl/EStrattonVA.htm)

1776 Mecklenburg Co., VA John Marshall and wife Rebecca of Parish of St. James sold to Edward Parish of Cumberland Co., VA 300 acres of land left to him by his father William (Rec'd from Jodie Gee 9/16/2000)
From Francis Moody, His Ancestors, Descendants & Related Families by Clara Park the following was written about John Marshall:
"John Marshall was the elder son of William Marshall (I). John Marshall and wife Rebecca were in Mecklenburg County, Va., prior to Dec. 1775 when John began negotiations to break the entailment on 300 acres of land in Cumberland County that John's father had erroneously bequeathed to the younger brother, William Marshall (II). Since John Marshall of Mecklenburg County "was seized as tenant in fee trail," John had to "break" the entailment before either he or William could dispose of the land (Cumberland Co., VA Deed Bk 5, pp 430,482) Here Mrs. Park stated "See Chapter 2, topic "Cumberland County Records" for details. See Pages 18-20. (Only have page 18 of Chapter 2 wherein Mrs. Park states, "In William Marshall's will dated October 2, 1768 he bequeathed to his last wife, Lucy Marshall, his rights to her plantation, her furniture, and four slaves, all of which she had inherited from her previous husband, Henry Clay, whose will was probated May 28, 1764. William Marshall's will stated that his rights to her property which he returned to Lucy were in lieu of her right of dower to my estate. He also gave Lucy a year's supply of pork and corn for her family.) In 1787 he (John Marshall) sold 300 acres to his brother-in-law, Arthur Moody (Mecklenburg Co., VA Deed Bk 7, p 97)
In May court of 1782 in Mecklenburg County ordered that John Marshall should be paid for supplying 400 c. weight beef for use of the Continental Army. Also in 1782 John Marshall's assessment for land tax in the Upper District was for 391 acres. In 1783 the personal property tax book shows that John Marshall was taxed for four slaves over 16 years old: Jack, Judy, Cate, Amy, and 2 slaves over 12 and under 16 years: Tom and Anaky.
In 1784 John Marshall's tax assessment in Mecklenburg County was for five slaves over 16 years old: Jack, Judy, Cate, Amy, Liller, and 4 slaves under 16 and over 12 years; Tom, Anaky, Eddy, Fanny. Also in 1784 John Marshall and Henry Moody (II) bought 1,742 acres on the south side of Butchers Creek from William Call. In 1785 and 1786 John Marshall was assessed taxes for 9 slaves. He had no assessments for personal property in Mecklenburg County after 1786. (Jodie Gee pointed out that Henry Moody was the husband of Elizabeth Marshall who was John Marshall's sister)
In 1787 his land assessment was for 265 acres; in Jan. 1787 he sold 300 acres to his brother-in-law, Arthur Moody. Also in Jan 1787 John Marshall and his wife Rebecca sold their interest in 683 acres of the partnership land to his partner, Henry Moody (II) (Mecklenburg Co., VA Deed Bk 7, p 97) (Jodie Gee stated Arthur Moody was husband of Mary Marshall who was John Marshall's half sister)
In May 1795, Francis Moody, son and executor of Henry Moody (II), deceased, was ordered by the court to pay John Marshall $5.40 for attending court six days as a witness for Francis in his suit against Charles Burton, a man to whom the partners had sold 103 l/2 acres in 1787.
In Nov. 1799, John Marshall was living in Granville County, North Caroline, which adjoins Mecklenburg County, Va., when he and his nephew Francis Moody, administrator of Henry Moody (II) deceased, apparently had some differences of opinion concerning the partnership of Henry Moody (II) and John Marshall. This conflict was revealed in a power of attorney executed Nov. 56, 1799, to Francis Moody by his mother, Elizabeth (Marshall) Moody, "to manage a law suit which may be necessary to be brought against John Marshall of North Carolina...and to relinquish any right to dower which I may have...and to make agreements for me to the division of land...whereof my deceased husband died possessed." (Mecklenburg Co., VA Deed Bk 10, p 216.
Clara Park wrote at the bottom of her chapter on John Marshall, "We have no further data pertaining to John Marshall, son of William Marshall (I)"

Halifax Co VA May Court 1804 Book 23, p 150.

The above court case proves that Rebecca Clay married John Marshall. They married in 1769 and first son was named Henry Clay Marshall. Rebecca's Mother was Lucy Greene Clay who after husband Henry Clay died, she married William Marshall. Lucy, other children & Rebecca moved to the Marshall Plantation, which was next door. Rebecca was 12 and John who was 29 waited for her to grow up and when she was 17, they were married. Since he was older he could have had another wife who had died. (Jodie Gee 9/16/2000)

In a letter in 1973 a descendant of Abia Clay, Helen Handley from California wrote to the grandmother of Jodie Gee and said: " I believe the Rebecca who married John Marshall Sr. was probably the daughter of Henry Clay and Lucy Greene Clay and was born 14 Nov 1752."
