The only Lewis of this age is Lewis J. the son of Smith Blankenship II & Elizabeth Beckner the problem is that he was born, married and died all in Franklin Co., VA. His wife Frances Hambrick died in 1859 so this Mary ann could be another wife, but he doesn’t show a child named Patsy, She might be Daniel David’s oldest Dau Martha that married George Washington Blankenship. I have a death Date of 1899 for Daniel David and none for Sophie. I don’t have them any where else. Daniel David doesn’t marry Spicey Blankenship till 1890. Any ideas on where he or Sophie are? And why would Lewis J. come help out with the children?
