Since the 1930 census was recently indexed, I found parts of my family
listed in Franklin CO IN in Brookville Twsp. William and Diannah
Blanton are listed with sons Americus and Bruce. William is 72, Diannah
is 67, Americus is 40 and Bruce is 30. This family is also listed in
the 1920 census in the same township. Their daughter Ruth married to
Seth Hughes is also listed in the township. Seth is 60 and Ruth is 50.
Their children Benjamin age 24 and daughter Clydia age 13 are also
listed with them. At the end of the Brookville Twsp listing is Seth and
Ruth's daughter Beulah and her husband, Edward "White" Denton and their
children Mary H age 12 and Raymond S age 8. Also listed in the
household is Edward's brother, Alley who is 20. All but the Dentons
were farmers, the Dentons having occupations connected to road
building. Since William is 72, I think there is a good chance he is
buried around Brookville. The family originally came from Eastern
Kentucky. William and Diannah were married in Rowan CO. I am looking
for information as to what happened to them. Diannah was my great
grandfather, Louis Horton Palmer, sister.
