Here's an 1880 census in Pickens, S.C. with a Watson Stewart and Mary Stewart as offspring in the same household. Note, this cannot be the same Mary if she married John Blackstone in 1820.

They didn't have Thomas Blackstone to 1830 they wouldn't have waited ten years before the first child and if her land in 1877 on Little Crow Creek Water's 108 Acres was sold to a Watson Stewart I believe this is my Grandmother,  maybe not 1820 married but 1826 or 1830 I don't even know where 1820 came from , what do you thank, ? Is this Troup, Georgia that is the place William Stewart b.1762 1848 lived the father to Mary Polly unknown Blackstone b.est, 1808 1887 believed to be Mary Polly Stewart Blackstone that had her first son Thomas Blackstone b.1830

No this is 1880 census I was thanking 1820 Census and she was 12 years old but this would be this Mary being born 1868, S.C , I'm looking for one From a William Stewart b.1762 1748 he had a daughter Mary Polly Stewart b.est 1808 1887 but her land was sold to a Watson Stewart in 1877 Pickens County, S.C this William Stewart may have been in the 1830 War but at the age 68  I don't know? and if he was in the Rev. War he would have been 14 ? William Stewart ' s wife was dead by 1820 census because Mary was about 12 years old in 1820 and his wife looks like her name may have been Elizabeth Bay married William Stewart b.1762 1748,  you see anything like this in Troup ,Georgia area

William Stewart m Elizabeth Bay - they did have a daughter Mary (Polly) who was listed in Williams will. She was married to John Anderson Feb 16. 1809 so I would think you could eliminate that route.

Mt Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery in Sunset, Pickens County, South Carolina is a Polly Blackston a Dicey Blackston and I seen a record of a Mary Blackstone that was married to a J Hiram Blackston/Blackstone was buried in this Cemetery. Please help with any information, Thanks..

Seems Mary Unknown Blackstone was a native with no track of any other family Mary is the spouse of John Hiram Blackstone Sr on the 1830 census of Pickens,SC shows them as under age of 20 and on the top of this census says allotted to Benjamin, who is Benjamin now on the 1840 census it shows John Hiram Blackstone and Mary Unknown Blackstone as allotted to Thomas Dawson the same Thomas Dawson that was appointed by the President to teach natives how to read and wright being Thomas Dawson's district is where my family first appeared is a very interesting and possible proof of Native America the Blackstone family just first appeared on the 1830/1840 and by 1850 Mary Unknown Blackstone was head of house their childrens death certificate's are not found anywhere and 1870 census for her children are not found anywhere is more proof to me as native folks, if anyone has any proof of my direct line her son John Hiram Blackstone 1838-1913 as being kin to any other Blackstone family please contact me. Blackstone-170. I have researched just about ever Blackstone and no sign of John Hiram Blackstone Sr born 1808/12 or Mary Unknown Blackstone 1805/12 being any kin to anyone else in America at this time fram 1830 or 1840 area.

Thanks
