I am confused by your posting?According to my research Ambrose Blackwell married Jenny Vineyard (daughter of Ishmael).Nancy Stephens married David Vineyard (son of Ishmael).
"The Children of John Blackwell An American Odyssey" by Peter Preston is available in several libraries in the Dallas area.I will try to review this book to see what kind of documentation the author gives to support his claims.
Nancy and David Vineyard's eldest son Isaiah was born in Franklin County, Georgia 5 November 1796. Nancy stated in her application for a widow's pension for David's service in the War of 1812 that she married David in 1895 in Elbert County, Georgia.Jane Henderson Vineyard (widow of Ishmael) paid taxes for 200 acres of land in Franklin County, but I have yet to find out how she obtained this land.
Germanna, Virginia was originally settled by German born people.This does not mean that John Blackwell was German.
