Biography
Sarah (Wilkinson) Blankenship died young.
Sarah was born about 1740 in Colonial Virginia. She was the daughter of John Wilkinson and Jane Unknown. Sarah married Isham Blankenship in 1756 in Chesterfield, Chesterfield, Virginia. The couple had 10-11 children. At the close of the French-Indian War they moved from Chesterfield, VA to Bedford, VA, along with her husband's brother Hudson[1]. Shortly after, she moved their family to Rutherford, North Carolina. It was here she passed away in 1810. Sarah was buried after 1810 in Burial Blankenship Family Cemetery, Rutherfordton, Rutherford, North Carolina, United States[2]

Research Notes
- Birth date of 10 Dec 1739 and birth location of Henrico County, Virginia needs primary/original sources.
- Death date of 17 Feb 1826 needs primary/original source.
- The article written by Joseph Blankenship in 1917 blends Isham Sr and Isham Jr's families in a way that is a bit confusing. See Isham Sr and Isham Jr's profiles for these details.
