Hi Robert, Thanks for responding to my query.
Maybe I am on the wrong trail. My problem may be in Halifax rather than Prince Edward County.
I have a marriage record for Ambrose Gresham to Susannah N. Blanton 14 November 1811 in Halifax County. Jesse Crenshaw, her guardian, gave permission for the marriage. I descend from Samuel Gresham, their son born in 1824 NC (probably Person Co).
Also in Halifax County is a marriage for Iverson L. Gresham toNancy C(lements) Blanton 7 Dec 1813 with Bondsman, Ambrose Gresham. There are several Gresham families in Halifax. Iverson and Ambrose were brothers. Perhaps Nancy C. and Susannah N Blanton were sisters.
Iverson and Nancy had a daughter, Jane, who married in 1833 in Halifax County to Allen Salmon. There was a note from Nancy Gresham giving parental permission for Jane to marry.
In Lunnenburg County there is a marriage for Jane Blanton to Jesse Crenshaw 14 Jan 1805. The bondsman on this mariage was James Guess.
Apparently I am trying to make the Jane Blanton marrying Jesse Crenshaw in 1805 in Lunnenburg Co and Jane Rice who married Richard Blanton in 1795 in Prince Edward County out to be the same person. From what I am getting from you, Richard Blanton who maried Jane Rice was very much alive in 1805 and therefore his wife would not be marrying someone else. A very valid observation.
Obviously the three Blanton women have a connection. For Jesse Crenshaw, husband of Jane Crenshaw, to be guardian over Sussannah, one would think Jane was Susuannah's mother. Perhaps Jane is an older sister. In any event, the Blanton male is apparently missing in the family.
The court records should reveal our mystery Blanton male!
Thanks for anything anyone may suggest
