William "Bill" Blackburn is my paternal grandfather. He apparently originated somewhere in North Carolina or East Tennessee. His mother was Blanche Cheatum/Cheatham and I am inclined to believe that she was from Norh Carolina, but I am not certain about that.
Bill married Ruth Miracle. My grandmother was from Prineville (Frakes), Kentucky area. She passed away in the early to mid 1950's. Bill then married Nancy Holly Partin.
Unfortunately, this is all the information I have about my ancestory. If you have any information, feel free to contact me.
