I seeking information on a Robert Blackburn and family, that married a Joanna Melton in Carroll Co. Tn, on 12 Jan 1886.

The 1900 Dist. 22, Carroll Co. Census, gave this information: Joanna Gill, age 30; Son: C. R. Blackburn, age 16; Daughter: Lillie D. Blackburn, age 4; Daughter: Willie T. Blackburn, age 8/12. The state of birth for the father of C. R. Blackburn and Lillie D. Blackburn is stated as IL. Yet the state of birth for the youngest child's father, is stated as TN. Joanna is listed as married, but no husband is present.

Joanna remarried on 18 May 1899, to a James R. Gill in Weakley Co. TN. The youngest child in the 1900 Census, may be the child of J. R. Gill.

If anyone has information on any of these names, please let me know.

In the 1910 Dyer Co. TN Census, Lillie D. Blackburn is listed in the household of her uncle, Robert C. Marsh. I have not found any connections of the other two Children since the 1900 census.

Thanks
