I received some books lately with marriage information. These Blackmans
are
not necessarily my line. I'm not familiar with some of the abbreviations.
I
know "wf." means wife. Sometimes there's just a "w.". Does that
mean
will?
There's info from Cumberland Co., NJ, Gloucester Co., NJ, and New
England.
From H. Stanley Craig's "Cumberland County [NJ] Genealogical
Data":
BLACKMAN, Phebe, wf. Nehemiah, b. Oct. 17, 1781; d. April 12, 1869.
BLACKMAN, William, m. _______ _______, Nov. 17, 1792.
From H. Stanley Craig's "Gloucester County New Jersey
Marriage Records":
2 BLACKMAN, David, and Mary CLARK, 4-10-1769.
1 BLAKEMAN, Andrew, and Mary ALLEN, 7-25-1733 (Mary nee Steelman,
widow of
Daniel Allen; surname usually found as Blackman, not Blakeman,
but that's
what this book says)
BLACKMAN, Andrew, and Elizabeth Scull, 7/26/1801
BLACKMAN, Andrew, and Allice Conover, 3/18/1822
BLACKMAN, Constant, and Mary Baker, 1/8/1804
BLACKMAN, David, and Mary Terrill, 3/26/1797

3 BLACKMAN, James, and Elizabeth Champion, 10/17/1806
BLACKMAN, John, and Esther Risley, 10/7/1810
BLACKMAN, Nehemiah, Jr., and Milisent Risley, 12/17/1809

Children of James Blackman and Elizabeth Champion:
Caroline - no dates
Mary - no dates, m. Wesley McClain
Ruhama Elizabeth ?-1873, m. Savil Justice
Children of Nehemiah Blackman and Sarah Smith:
Nehemiah 1792-1872, m. Millicent Risley
Rev. David Somers Blackman 1794-1828 m. Lydia Horton
Nehemiah and Millicent had my gg-grandmother, Mary Blackman. Mary
married
Samuel L. Dunn. One daughter they named Alice Somers Dunn. One son was
named Collins Ireland Dunn. There's also a son, Lewis B. Dunn and I
wonder
if the "B" stands for Blackman. I can't find any record of it, though.
I
have complete dates on some of these ancestors if you'd like them. Does
this seem to match your records? Did David and Mary Clark Blackman
really
have all those children? That poor woman! Ha! Mary G.

Interesting. Ruth Crawley Champion's Champion book mentions her
on
page 92:
"GENERATION VII: ELIZABETH CHAMPION & JAMES BLACKMAN, of
N.J., moved
to Bethel, Ohio, in 1816 to help his brother-in-law, Rev. John
Collins, build
the Old Bethel Church. His sister, Sarah Blackman Collins,
established 'The
Jersey Settlement' in 1803.
"ELIZABETH CHAMPION - Daughter of Daniel Champion & Ruhame
Ingersoll.
" b. Great Eggharbour Twp., Gloucester Co., N.J.
" d.
"m. James Blackman, 1813, he was serving in War of 1812.
[footnotes].
"JAMES BLACKMAN - Son of ____________________... [Ruth has
no
dates for him.]
"Children of Elizabeth (Champion) Blackman & James
Blackman:
"1. Ruhama Blackman, -1866 at Bantam m. Savil
Justice.
"2. Mary Blackman m. Wesley McClain Nichols.
"3. Caroline Blackman m. Dr. Samuel Latta, a physician.
"4. Lewis V. Blackman, Cincinnati, later moved to
Illinois.
"The twins, Ruhama and Mary, were 8 years old when they
left N.J.
with the
colony.
"James Blackman moved to the Tate Twp., Bantam, Elk Lick
area after
maritime service, N.J., in the War of 1812."
On pages 82-83, as part of a chapter entitled "To the Ohio
Wilderness," there
is a sketch of "The Little White Church on the Hilll" at Bantam,
Ohio, namely
the Old Bethel Church. Ruth says:
"CLERMONT COUNTY. After Ohio was admitted to the Union in
1803, a
group of New Jersey settlers established homes in Clermont County.
At that
time Clermont County was formed from Hamilton County. Sarah
Blackman
Collins helped establish the 'Jersey Settlement" in 1803. Her
husband, the
Rev. John Collins, was a circuit rider for the Methodist Churches.
Many
family names which originated in New Jersey can be found in the
cemeteries:
Collins, Blackman, Banks, Albertson, Shaw, Scull, Steelman, Highbee,
McCollum, and Champion.
'OLD BETHEL M.E. CHURCH. The Old Bethel M.E. Church, located
four
miles from the town of Bethel, Ohio, stands on the plot of land
given by the
Rev. John Collins. The original church, amde of logs, was also
used as a
schoolhouse, with Benjamin Morris, brother of Senator Thomas
Morris,as
teacher.
"James Blackman, brother of Sarah Blackman Collins, came from
New Jersey
to erect a larger building for the growing embership, in 1818.
Many New
Jersey friends and relatives, Richard Shaw, Elijah Applegate,
Richard Banks,
and others followed to help with the building of the new church.
"The church was remodeled in 1867, but delining attendance
resulted in
discontinued services about 1960 and the land was designated to
become a
state park...." The Old Bethel M. E. Church Historical Society
saved the
cemetery site and its 1000 graves from being relocated as part of
the govt
project which made Rev. John Collins' home into a beach. At the
time of
Ruth's book, services were held in this church each year for
Memorial Day and
for Homecoming in the fall.
Sounds like it might be worth a trip.
