Dear Janet,

The last few generations lived in Arkansas, many of them in Randolph County. Soula Blansett and Rebecca Gregory were my great grandparents. Does that help? Further back, they seem to come through Tennessee from North Carolina.

I think you can click on my name to go to my profile and see the family trees I've put togther.

JanetWright777 — 2011-04-30 11:41:42Z

Hello Lisa, I have information on many Blansetts (and leads to some photos), but you do not give much to go on. Can you give some idea what state they lived in, and when, and some names?

Photos

lab08021 — 2011-04-17 20:37:49Z

I am seeking scanned (i.e., digitized) images of Blansetts, Methenys (through Menona Belle Metheny line), Riggs (through Roscoe Riggs line). If you or your family have any photos of my family, would you consider scanning them and either attaching them to a message here, or sending me a note so that I can send you an e-mail address to send them to.

Why do I want these images? I'm told a very few photos were destroyed in a basement flood at my parents, and that others have just been widely dispersed to other family members, or simply lost. I'd like to show my little girl where she came from!
I would be very grateful!
Lisa

Thanks for the info on Jane. I believe Peter and his first wife, Frances Ward, were my GGGgrandparents. So Jane was a half-sister to my GGgrandfather William who married Elvira Johnson. I have no dates for them.

Jane Blansett was born 1843 in Missouri, and that died 15 May 1897 at the Schuyler County Poor Farm, Missouri. Her parents were Peter Blansett and Margaret Sumpter. Peter was married twice and has a load of children. How are you related to the Blansetts?

Re: Looking for Death of James BLANSET (1863-65 Civil War)

2006-09-11 02:55:26Z

Thank you for the reply. My James was James M BLANSET. I have since found his death date Dec 1863 and buried in the Nat'l cemetery in Knoxville, TN His widow filed for pension.

I have this James Blanset that I wonder if is mine or another:
Blanset, James
Confederate
Infantry
34th Regiment, Tennessee Infantry (4th Confederate Infantry)

The reason I believe this is my James Blanset is he is from TN and you see his widow married Isaac McBee who was confederate. The Blansets and McBees were neighbors. Now the 2 men could have held different views but how hard would it be to be the widow of a union and marry a conf? Puzzle.

I have learned that sometimes captured soldiers could take the oath of alliegence and not go to prison, so maybe he did that.

Thanks again.

Re: Looking for Death of James BLANSET (1863-65 Civil War)

JKBlanscett6422 — 2006-09-10 20:49:24Z

Could this be James Cloyd Blanset (Blanchet, Blancet) who was born on 28 Jul 1841 in Virginia?(Withams, Accomack, Virginia)
Family story is that he deserted from the Conf. Army and fled west. He died in 1922 in Lander, Fremont, Wyoming. He married Clara Annette Larsen on 11 Jan 1880 in Fairview, Utah.

Blanset - Cheever marriage

2006-03-20 18:35:29Z

Victoria, Ann, or anyone:
There's a record in the Macon County, Missouri marriage files (familysearch.org) of a marriage between William J Blanset and Mary A Cheever, 28 Feb 1884.

Anyone know for sure who that William J Blanset is? Would he be the William Blansett, 51, in the Macon County, MO (Randolph Twp) census of 1910, with wife Mary, 50, and children Lewis, Bessie, and Daccie? I have him tentatively identified as William Jackson Blanset, son of Julia A Blansett (who died single, one child out of wedlock, according to Vaden Mayers in "John C Rowland, Missouri Pioneer"). Mayers states that Julia's son Jackson "married a Tate near Bevier" and had a "daughter Ruth." Anyone know who the Tate is? Could Jackson have had two wives?

And who is Mary Cheever's family?

Thanks for ideas! Janet Wright

2006-03-20 06:01:04Z

daughter of Francis Ward and Peter Blanset, Larena (Serena) Irene Blansett (1817 Warren Co., KY - d 1864, Macon Co. MO) married John Crawford Roland( 2/16/1811 Warren Co. KY - d 10/20/1886, Macon, MO). They had 6 children I know of, John Crawford Rowland(abt 1836), David Crockett Rowland(abt 1838), Frances Elizabeth Rowland(abt 1840 and Minerva Irene (5/31/1844)Rowland, Nancy Mary Rowland (1847)and William Younger Rowland (b-1850).

Looking for Death of James BLANSET (1863-65 Civil War)

2006-03-17 18:06:02Z

I am looking for the exact death date for James BLANSET listed in the roster as Pvt G Co 34th Infantry TN. He died between 1863 and 1865. The only way he could have died earlier was to not be the father of a child born in 1864. The reason it could have been as late as as 1865 is because his widow Sarah Wells Blanset married Isaac McBee in 1865.

James and Sarah were the parents of Lourina and Mary Catherine BLANSET. Mary married Abraham HARRIS in TN.
Thanks

Sisters Lourina (bn 1861) & Mary C BLANSET (bn 1864)

2006-03-17 18:03:52Z

Lourina Blanset b. 1861 and Mary Catherine Blanset b. 1864 were the only children born to Sarah Wells, Blancet McBee. I am looking for any decendents who might have the death date and interrment site for James Blancet who died during the Civil War.

Hi Victoria --

I'm another cousin. My line is from Peter and Frances Ward Blansett, to Emily Blansett and John C. Rowland, to Kitty Ann Rowland and Joseph Meyer, to Anna Mayer (changed spelling) who married Edgar Lee Cheever (my grandparents). I'm struck also by your last name because Edgar's grandmother was Elizabeth Clingerman/Klingerman, etc. She and her husband Ralph C. Cheever came to Macon Co. MO from Kosciousko Co. Indiana. Any connections here?

Mary Blansett [or other variations] Harris

flucylucy — 2006-01-08 21:54:51Z

I am looking for descendents of Mary C Blancet and Abraham Harris who left TN with their children and came to Collin/Grayson Co TX. Both are interred in the Van Alstyn Cemetery.

My GGGrandfather was Peter Blancett, one of three in Tennessee before your Peter moved to Missouri. I'm stuck on documenting how the three are related.

Re: Have Info re: Jane BLANSETT, dau of Peter

2005-09-16 10:55:53Z

Hello Jessica, do you have a definite birth date and place for Diana Blansett? The information I have for her from the census is very confusing. Here are census records for her. I know it is the right person because the other family members match:
1850 Collin Co., Texas p 19 family 254 - Daner Coffey, 37, b Missouri
1860 Comfort Twp, Kerr Co., Texas p 70B family 49 - Dayne Coffey, 50, b Arkansas
1870 Sisterdale P. O., Kendall Co., Texas p 129 family 35 - Dine Coffey, 56, b Tennessee
1880 Kimble Co., Texas, Enum Dist 96 family 60 - Diana Coffee, 60, b Tennessee
1900 Menard Co., Texas, Enum. Dist. 93 family 89 - Diana Coffee, 86, b May 1814, b Missouri

I believe Diana was the oldest child of Peter Blanset and Frances Ward. If we could be sure of her birth date and place, it would help determine where and when Peter and Frances were married, so I would love to have that information! I am another "cousin" to you -- Diana's younger brother Peter, who married Mary Ann Hughs, was my great-great grandfather. Would be glad to share information - Janet

Re: Have Info re: Jane BLANSETT, dau of Peter

2005-09-16 06:30:46Z

Jane Blansett (of many spellings) was my GGgrandmother. I would love anything you might add to my family history and I would be happy to share anything you like that I might have. Please write, Cousin.

I am related to Peter thru Jane's 1/2 sister, Diana Blansett who married Charles Oliver Coffey.(2nd wife). Jane's mother was Peggy Sumpter and Diana's mother was Francess Ward. I'll be glad to share information that I have.

Vicky, thanks for sharing these documents! I am trying to trace the children of this Henry J Blancett. I have some notes that you made (post-its added to Gedcoms) that give death dates for two of the children:

John Thomas Blancett d Dec 1937 Ozark Dist, Franklin Co. Arkansas
William Joseph Blancett d 25 Dec 1940 Denning Arkansas

Can you tell me where you got these death dates? I'm not finding John Thomas Blancett in the census after 1870. Also do you have a death date for their brother Harden b 1862 (not mentioned in estate documents)?

Thanks again for giving us access to the estate files ! Janet

Peter Blansett, d 1873, husband of Frances Ward and Peggy Sumpter was my ggg grandfather. I have just posted to this message board transcripts of Peter's pension applications for War of 1812 service in the East Tennessee Militia. In census reports this Peter is listed as born in Virginia and North Carolina. Blansetts lived on both sides of the VA-NC line (Patrick County Virginia, Surry-Stokes County NC) around 1800. After 1830, Peter lived in northern Missouri. Victoria Clingman is also a descendant of Jane Blansett; I suggest you contact her (she has posted to message boards). I'd be interested in more information on Jane and siblings. Have tried to get background on Frances Ward, with no luck.

His father was also Peter Blansett, but I do not have farther back than that. If anyone has information they would like to share, I would love it.
