There is no source for Blackwell-2069. The Blackwell family Bible at LVA states that John Blackwell's father was Robert Blackwell and his mother was Mary Goodwin. The Kilby genealogy lists Elizabeth Goodwin as the mother. Men of Matadequin lists James Glenn b. ca 1701 as the father of John. I found no source for a birth date; the Bible record says he probably died 1782. My 1740 date was a guess, based on the marriage date.I contacted Wanda Richards over a year ago and yesterday, no response. It's time to merge and correct. Mary Richardson was the wife of John Blackwell, according to several sources.
