Edgar compiled a family genealogy, but hw did not know the father of the progenitor, Thomas. The library there might have a copy. I have a few pages.
He is of the Tidewater Blantons. We had a descendant tested. I strongly suspect that he was the son of Col. John Blanton by his mistress Millie Renfrow in Jefferson or Shlby KY. I don't have the original documents, but Mary Louise Attal, deceased, former head of the Blanton Convention, found that he had four children with her, Thomas, John, Mariah and Washington.
Maria/Mariah is very rare among early Blantons. It turns out that the first three appear in Christian County, KY and later near one another in MO. It would be an unlikely coincident if they weren't Col. John's children, but I don't think we will be able to prove it conclusively.
