“Note; listed 2 families above Asa Blankenship is Daniel Quitman This is the closest I've ever found a Quitman family next to a Blankenship. My gggf William Blankinship/Blankenship was born in KY abt

1830-1837. He named his son James Quitman Blankenship b 1858, AR. Asa Blankenship's wife was born in KY according to the 1850 US Census, TX, Fannin Co, pg 157, Asa was a blacksmith as was my ggf James Quitman Blankenship and my grandfather, Wiloughby Blankenship. Asa and William and these Quitmans might be connected somehow, somewhere. As you can see I'm still trying to tie William in

with a family.” Frank
