ISAAC B. BLANTON information needed.

I am trying to locate information on the Marshall and Sheriff of Alachus County, Fl, ISAAC B. BLANTON.

He married Margaret Williams in Alachua County, in 1842.
They had 4 children, Thomas, Sumpter, Mary and Claudius or Claudia. I have found the childrens buried places.

Isaac seems to have "appeared" and then "disappeared".

I cannot find any birth date or place for him, nor his death date or place of death.

Any info would be greatly appreciacted.

Hi Jim did you find any info on Isaac B Blanton. I will double check but I understood that he drowned in Cedar Key. She then married an Exley.
