Notes from a Relative

J.H. Blackstone's or John H Blackstone's or Hiram Blackstone's are listed as Confederate soldiers in the Greenville Confederate museum. Only two Blackstone's listed. The land I live on off Moores Mill rd, Pelzer, Anderson, SC was first deeded to the Blackstone's and John Hiram Blackstone Jr 1838-1913 is buried at White Plains, Baptist Church, Pelzer, Anderson County, SC. This Cemetery is less then a mile from this Blackstone property.

If he's William from Maine related, Father would be found in South Carolina in 1810/1820 who had at least 3 sons and was dead by 1830 .

• Elder John Milton Blackstone, maybe a Father or Uncle?https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LTP6-D99

CENSUS/LAND

• 1820 ^[7] - John not positively identified on the census. He could be one out of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, etc.

• 1830 CENSUS -in Pickens, South Carolina there is a listing for a John H. Blackstone with only a female between the ages of 15 to 19 years in his household. Its very likely to be our John and his wife Mary.

• 1840 CENSUS - lists 5 people in the household of Hiram Blackstone, A Male between the age of 20 to 30 years. In the household is a Female of the same age, and three children. One boy aged under 5 years, One boy aged between 6 to 10 years and one female aged under 5 years. Some Henderson's are found on the same page below a Richard Blackstone, who is a possible brother to John. The Henderson's possibly are connected to this family - Henderson-13809

The Blackstone family of Pickens County South Carolina had land on Little Crow Creek road area and this land (108 acres) was said to have been sold in 1877 at a Pickens County Sheriff sale.

• There was a Pickens County, South Carolina Sheriff 's Sale of 108 Acres on Little Crow Creek Water's of Keowee adj, Watson Stewart, Abe M. Mauldin and other's conveyed to J. Hiram Blackston by Mary Blackstone the 20th of September 1877, To be sold as the property of J. Hiram Blackston at the suit of Watson Stewart ( This book lists abstracts from the paper ),

• There should be a deed for the transfer of land which took place on 20th September 1877, maybe explains relationship. There may be a court case instigated by Watson Stewart. Who was he? A relative maybe married to one of Mary's daughters or was he owed a debt?

It appears that Watson Stewart and Abe Maudlin were Executors or Trustees of John Hiram Blackstone's estate. Whether they are somehow related to the Blackstone family is unknown. They would have brought an application to the local court to proceed with the sale. Mary Blackstone would have had to acknowledge her approval of the proceedings. Whether they are somehow related to the Blackstone family is unknown.
