IT had been reported by our scouts
that the enemy were making prcpara-
lions TO effect II crossing Of tho Rap
pahannock River at this point but had
they. the enemy, made the attempt
they would have received a warm re-

been more difficult than the crossing
OF the Rapidan River at Ely's Ford;
therefore our cavalry picketS at Ely's
Ford should have been more on the
alert and watchful, as our whole and

on these outposts along the Rapidnn
River. This cavalry raid took place
during the time intervening between

NOTES AND QUERIES.



Editor Tho Times Dispatch:
L have recently seen some OF your
papers on the older families of Vir-
ginin. and ii has occurred to me that
we might be of some service to each
other. 1 have been engaged for sew
cral years in working out genealogy
Of the Blankinship family, and find
that all of them. with the exception
of one group at Plymouth. Mass, havo
originated from n single family of that
name that settled in Chesterfield Coun-
~. Va, in the district south Of Rich
mond, somewhere before 1890 from
which members passed into West Vir-
ginia, Ohio. Kentucky and Tennessee,
North Carolina and southwark, till now
they number many thousands. have
been fairly successful in securing the
names and locations of the earlier set
tiers as far back rs 1714, but previous
records were mostly lost or destroyed
during the Civil War. Possibly you.
in your researches, have run across tho
name. and may be ablo to put mo back
on the track OF the earlier records. 7
desire particularly to determine the
name of the earliest settler. IL nos
sible, and where he came from in Eng
land.
The earliest name yet found is Ra1ph
/ who married Martha, and died In 1711
tpced and WIN Book, Henrico County
page 26O). He appeared to have had
sons, Ralph. John and James, and prob
aoly brother, Richard, which leads
me 10 think him the second generotJou
in America.
The name in its various notifications
can be traced back to n Blenl,inson
who was cnnobled in 1910, and had his
mansion In or near Newcastle,
Sorthumocrland County. England l
ma that family of Blenkinship was
resident nearby at Tynemouth and
Shields. England, in 160T-17O3 and so
am inclined to think the first Ameri
! can Immigrant of this name may have
| come from this family, the given names
being largely tho same.
All these earlier BIankinshins wore
| planters. and most of them in good
circumstances. owning slaves and hold
/ ing large acreage. which leads me to
| think tho earliest had been here for
some time. Some served in the French
ana indian war In the Revolution and
! many in the Civil War on both sides
! 1t is possible that some were Tories
| during the Revolution, but of this
| have no records. The name in Ameri-
ca is spelled Blankinship. Blankenshir
and Rlankingship. all having the same
origin. None OF the older generation
attained any distinction, as far as ]
know but were merely substantial
hard working. God-fearing Judging by
their namcs) planters. but they are
now found in almost every walk in
| life.
In case you should. in your work
ever have occasion to deal with this
! family, I think ] can furnish you most
OF tho data you need particularly rs
to the more recent ramincations while
7 would be glad to have any data you
may run across in Jour own investi-
cations. Yours very truly,
]. W. BLANEINSHIP.
