Does anyone know anything about this James Blackstone:? "JAMES BLACKSTONE was a native of Maryland and must have located in Fayette County prior to 1784. The land which was originally taken up by the elder Blackstone, spoken of as the property of William Moore and Presley Moore, came to these gentlemen through their grandmother, Mrs James Hurst, the daughter to whom Blackstone gave it by will." "James Blackstone came hither from the Eastern Shore of Maryland shortly after Col. William Crawford and his comrades found their way into Yohogania County, Virginia, as the region of which Fayette County is a part was then called. Mr Blackstone married before he left Maryland and brought his family and some negroes with him and settled in what is now Tyrone township on the farm recently owned by Ebenezer Moore." If so, please contact me at the e-mail address listed or the one below, Sandy gsjuhl@mcledousa.net Notify Administrator about this message?
