I have just found a possible link to the Altom/Altum family through a gggrandmother.I had not known her maiden name but recently found on a death record of her son where she was listed as Nancy Elizabeth "Altum."She was married to Gilbert Blankenship, he was born abt. 1805 and she was born about 1803, either both born in KY or TN.They were in Henderson Co, TN, went to Oregon Co, MO where he died 1868 and she died 1875.Their children were the following; John S.(perhaps Spencer?), Christina, Anna, Meridy, Gilbert M., William Harvey, Nancy J., Paralee V., Mary, Jacob H., Easter Adeline, and Manuel Scott.I was leaning toward her father being Spencer Altom, but don't have any proof yet.I found your postings interesting, as my Blankenships and the Shipmans may both be tied into the same Altom family.I don't have much to offer other than the Blankenship family, but wanted to make some contact since we are talking about the same areas.My ancestor, John S. Blankenship listed above, moved to Lawrence Co, AR, where he died.He married Louisa J. Phillips in Henderson Co, TN, although I have not found any marriage records for this family.I am very interested in learning more about the Altom family.
