Just letting you know that a distant relative of our Blackwell cousins
died this April, Genevieve "Jean" L SHORT Goodwin. She was a dau. of
Basil Short and Francine Mattison, who was a dau. of Mary A. Taylor and
Francis Mattison, son of J. B. Mattison & Ella Lydia Blackwell (1886 -
1948), dau. of Mary Ann Campbell (1856 - 1926) & Eugene B. Blackwell
(1856 - 1936), son of Mary Elizabeth Webster & Enoch Blackwell (1824 -
1904), son of Sarah Morrison & William Perrin Blackwell (1790 - 1859).
son of Hannah Perrin (1767 - ?) & Enoch Blackwell (abt 1764 - 1816).
Some of us are descendants of the latter Enoch via his 2nd wife, Sarah
LUGG Clinch Blackwell Campbell, and many of us are descendants of Sarah
by her first husband, Thomas Clinch. And, of course, Sarah was also
sister-in-law to Joseph and Mary Harper Campbell.
A number of Wm. Perrin Blackwell's descendants did come to Campbell
Reunions over the years.
Eugene B. Blackwell's wife, Mary Ann Campbell, was a dau. of Lydia Ann
Keagle and Jeremiah Campbell (1823 - 1898) of Morris Twp., Tioga Co.,
PA, a son of Elizabeth and Simon Campbell (1779/80 - ?), also of Morris
Twp.
There is no reason to think Simon was related to "our" Campbells, but
some of our subscribers research other Campbell lines, and some readers
are interested in Mattison/Mattesons.
