2 CONT Scotch-Irish stock. He first settled in Virginia and later came to
2 CONT Bracken County, Kentucky, near Augusta. This was while Kentucky was still
2 CONT a part of Virginia."
2 CONT
2 CONT His children and their birthdays are listed in this family tree.
2 CONT
2 CONT "Allenson went to Indiana and died there. Some of these Blackburns later
2 CONT settled in Pendleton County. America Stephens Blackburn related to her

2 CONT from Virginia by wagon and river raft to Cincinnati.
2 CONT
