There are a number of fanciful tales about George Blanton's origins. This is a bit outlandish. Anderson Blanton was born in 1794. George was born about 1735. He was probably born in Caroline VA. His father was probably William, son of Thomas the immigrant.
Anderson Blanton was a member of the Cumberland VA Blantons. His name stemmed from the marriage of their progenitor, Richard, to Johanna Anderson in Spotsylvania VA. This group of Blantons lived near the PE line. Some Andersons moved with them. Of course, the family of Thomas, Jr., would likely have been acquainted with them, also.
At one time, I had a genealogy about this Anderson family, but cannot find it now.
