This looks like the William that married Assenath Blankenship, 1803 in Chesterfield Co., others have her married to William Jr. that is in Andrew Co., MO Census in 1850.

Assenath’s birth date is off in order for her to have children this young. 1780’s would be more likely. There is also another Assenath Blankenship living along in Dwlg #836/890. Oh Joy!
