So we're kin...
Jerome Bonaparte Washington Blankenship and Granville Blankenship are brothers. Both the Chisam girls were second marriages. Martha Chisam was Overton Chisam's daughter, Amanda Chisam was John Chisam's daughter. John and Overton were also brothers making Martha and Amanda cousins. I am from Overton's line and we would both be directly related to "Hickory" John and Mary Harris, John and Overton's parents.
I have one photo of Granville, Martha and their daughter Celia, which is very grainy. I have copies of both Granville's marriage certificates, (Tabitha Moss, Martha Chisam)and a copy of the marriage log that lists Amanda and JBW Blankenship. I have some photos of markers as well (Hickory's, Overtons...)
I know John died early in MO. Heard a few "bushwacked" and "revenged by his sons" stories but haven't found anything concrete yet.
I have some info on the Blankenships with references but I have a lot more that has not been verified.

Looking for photos, documents, or stories of the Chisam families, or other related surnames which the Chisam ladies married into (Hash, Anderson, Blankenship, Mason...) who were living in these Tennessee counties from the early 1800's to 1960's.
I have collected a fair amount of photos and material on these families but you never know what someone has or knows unless you ask.
If you're looking for something on these families, ask me and I may be able to help. I've documented over 500 names, all with at least one form of reference and often several references.

Looking for anyone who has any information on the first marriage of Julie Ann Chisam
Born: 30 Apr 1933--Missouri, United States
Died: 25 Aug 1986--Gainesville,Missouri
She had a son with her first husband, from what I am told his name was Dennis Ray _______.
She then married Lester Adams, and Lester adopted him when he was 2 or 3. Thus making his name Dennis Ray Adams.
