Hello:

I just came across your inquiry of the Blackwoods from Maine. Hope you still are with Ancestry.

We may be related !!! To date I don't have any Sanuel but have Henry, and lots of James. They are decended from James Blackwood born abt 1744 Ireland. Surved under John Burgoyne and stayed in Maine to marry and raise his family. I believe one of them went to NY for a spell. They settled mostly in Pembroke, Robinston, Calis area. All Washington County.

My great grandmother was Harriett Blackwood Houston, daughter of James Blackwood. James and Mary Brooks Blackwood listed on Walker Co GA census of 1850 b4 moving to Arkansas.

Harriett's sister, Mary Ann, married Benton Davis. I believe Davis family lived in Alabama before moving to Ark.

My James born ca. 1805 may be son of Joseph Blackwood of South Carolina. Did he have brother or father Isaac Blackwood?

I am Beverly Hart in Oklahoma. Welcome your observations!

Hello, I saw your message about the 1/2 Cherokee. My mother maiden name is Blackwood, from Talladega AL and she has told this same story of her grandmother being Indian but she thinks it was Creek Indian. She escaped the Trail of Tears relocation. Perhaps this is the same family?

Re: James Blackwood b. c1781 NC; d. IN. 1850

geneworker — 2008-12-21 00:15:40Z

Census records refers to James as being a native of North Carolina. I found many Blackwoods in Orange County, but it's by no means proven that he was from that county.

Re: BLACKWOOD GA AR

bevha — 2009-07-24 16:07:32Z

Yes, I think it is very possible this is the same family. Would like to visit further if you want.
Did your mother's family talk about Indian heritage?
My mother did not; except to say her gr grandfather was tortured by bushwhackers in Newton Co AR during Civil War

James Blackwood & Martha Hamilton

gblackwood01 — 2009-07-15 01:01:53Z

Please note that I am somewhat new in my research so I ask for your patience.

I am researching James Blackwood & Martha Hamilton from upstate SC. All I have come across is names and nothing more (ie dates, children, etc.). I believe that James is the son of Joseph Blackwood and Margaret Edwards but I have yet to verify this.

Can someone give me a nudge in the right direction or am I completely off?

Hi Sharon,

Thanks for your response. I didn't find out any more than I posted, but would love to!

My BLACKWOOD/ROBERTSON line married into the KESTERSON Family. It was interesting to me that all three names were listed in this incident.

Any information you could supply would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi;

I am researching all deaths and burial in Barkerville and have very little information on Neil Campbell. Do you have a birth date? Parents?
How and when or why did he meet his wife. It is interesting to see all the connections in the folks at Barkerville.
I have Neil's death cert. and can look for his grave if you like.
He was evidently one of the first miners to come here.

Cheers

I am looking for information on Ann or Annie Blackwood, born at 14 George Yard, Whitechapel, London on 07 Oct 1851. Her parents were William Blackwood and Mary Reed.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Blackwood, William R.--Trying To Track Him Down

GhostGirl7782 — 2008-12-19 20:02:45Z

I think this is the same William Robin who died in Marshall County, who is not my great grandfather. From all accounts I've seen my great grandfather was born in July of 1887.

Re: Blackwood, William R.--Trying To Track Him Down

GhostGirl7782 — 2008-12-19 20:00:52Z

Yes I did. That's the one for whom I actually sent for the official death certificate, hoping and praying. But, it turns out it's not him. Wrong parents. *sigh*. But hope springs eternal. :)

Re: Blackwood, William R.--Trying To Track Him Down

GhostGirl7782 — 2008-12-18 23:16:47Z

Actually I have an official ordered straight from the state copy of that death certificate and I have seen the copy of the WWI Draft Card. At first, I thought it was him, then I found I reason I thought it wasn't him, and now I'm waffling tremendously (alhtough my eldest Haynes/Blackwood aunt has said she didn't think he moved to Marshall county, BUT...) GAH, genealogy is such a wonderful and wonderfuly frustrating thing. :)

Thanks so much for the replies though. I greatly appreciated it. :) If I can ever confirm anything, you will see a post with a big subject something akin to FOUND HIM FOUND HIM, CELEBRATE WITH ME!!!!! LOL. Okay, enough of that. Seriously, thanks again.

Re: Frank W. Blackwood

cggrigg1958 — 2009-01-04 06:31:55Z

Are you looking for his family as in his children or his parents? From the census and marriage records for that county, it looks like his parents were Jonathon Blackwood and Elizabeth Hunter.By 1920 Frank and Luretta did not seem to have children......

Re: Blackwood, William R.--Trying To Track Him Down

cggrigg1958 — 2008-12-18 00:51:33Z

Also, the World War I Draft registration database has a William Robin Blackwood, Blount County [in the 19-teens] with a birth date of 27 Mar 1884.

Re: Blackwood, William R.--Trying To Track Him Down

cggrigg1958 — 2008-12-18 00:46:31Z

Did you see the record that has a William R. Blackwood dying 15 Apr 1944 in Marshall County?

Re: John W. Blackwood married Margaret Proctor

cggrigg1958 — 2008-12-27 19:02:10Z

A quick follow-up for anyone who may be interested-or have additional info-on this Blackwood family.

I did some more research and found that the children I had assumed died (1880 versus 1900 censuses) were in fact in marriage and other records post-1880 and 1900. That 1900 census record had said that Margaret [Proctor] Blackwood had borne 10 children, 5 of which were living [in 1900]. It was almost as if...and here is another example of needing to be wary of census records...the answer was given as to say she had 10 children, and 5 were living with her still....

John W. Blackwood married Margaret Proctor

cggrigg1958 — 2008-12-26 01:12:31Z

I've seen a few references to a John W. Blackwood marrying a Margaret E. Proctor in Jackson County, Alabama.

In the 1870 census, they are in Jackson County, AL, with son Arthur. John is listed as having been born in Mississippi. They show up in 1880 in Johnson County, Texas, with son Arthur and more children. In 1900 they are in Taylor County, Texas, with five more children. Apparently, the five mentioned in the 1880 census had all died...in the 1900 census, Margaret is listed as having borne ten children, with five still living at the census date. John is buried in Taylor County, and his descendants show up all the way to the 1930 census there.

Anyone have any info on this family in addition to what I mentioned above? Looking at the GenWeb site for this county, J.W. Blackwood is listed as having a biography in "A Baker's Dozen.." which is a local history book....but I have not seen this publication. I am trying to link this John Blackwood as possibly being the John Blackwood who was a son of Edward Blackwood, who came to Winston County, MS in the 1840s.

Re: Blackwood

kenpar — 2009-01-27 02:29:45Z

Thank you for the offer. I actually have Neil's death record and a photo of the gravesite in Barkerville, although I understand that a new marker has been placed in recent years. He married his wife Barbara Blackwood abt 1852 in either Martintown Ontario or Franklin Centre Quebec, still working on pinning that down. Neil's parents are John and Grace Campbell both born in Scotland. They had one other child that we know of a daughter, Jannet.

Another Barkerville connection for this family is the Houser house. William Blackwood married Elizabeth Katherine Houser in 1895 in Barkerville. William was Neil and Barbara's nephew. Elizabeth died in Barkerville in 1903 and William left the area.

Several articles about the area were written by Neil and Barbara's son Robert N. Campbell.

If you wish further information on this family please contact me directly.
