MAGAZINE OF VIRGINIA GENEALOGY
ISSAC DUKE, 318 acres, Amelia Co, by p. 22 Sep 1739 g. to Ralph Blankenship bet. the Brs of Knibs Cr. and the Brs of Smacks Cr., adj Bradleys, Bookers, Walthalls and Pinchams, bounded by Bradleys line, Edward Bookers lines, George Bookers lines, Wallthalls lines, Roberts lines, Pichams (p. 496) lines, which Ralph Blankenship failed to make Cultivation and Improvement; and James Thompson made suit and obtained a g. for the same which he assigned to Issac Duke. (p. 497) 20 Jul 1748.
Ralph Blankenship,
Jr. apparently lost the 318
acre land parcel he acquired in Amelia Co. because he
failed to cultivate and improve it. Colonial era requirements by the
colony of Virginia and the English crown stated that land granted must have at
least 10 acres cleared and planted with crops for a set period of time. It also
required that a home, dwelling or reasonable shelter be constructed on the property
granted

The WILL of Ralph Blankenship dated about March 1759 and presented by Ephraim Blankenship, executor.
This Ephraim is presumably the oldest son of Ralph Blankenship, Jr. (1695-1754) . Ephraim would have to have been of legal age to present the will in Court
and therefore his date of birth would have to have been some time prior to
1738. The WILL was proved by James
Farmer and William Hatcher who presumably were neighbors. The appraisers of his
estate were William Adkins, Mark Farmer, Charles Cayce and Robert Cayce who
also must have been neighbors"
