I have some information that seems to indicate that one of Abner Blanton's daughters is Mary Ann Blanton.She married William Watson before 1840 and is living near Abner Blanton or right beside him for the next few censuses. (Franklin, MO).I am a descendant of hers through Rachel Watson (who married John H. Chambers).Rachel has always been known in our family to have been Indian (my ggparents look it).However, William Watson's family is from Ireland so I don't think it was from him.In the 1880 census of Phelps, MO, Mary A. is listed as "I" by the race column.
I'm still in the process of trying to verify the above.
