Looking for anyone researching the lineage below.
From what I have been told, Burrell and Margaret never had any children of
their own and that all the children were adopted. I do know that the Mary
Blackmon listed in 1860 and then as Mary Parker in 1870 was originally Mary
Jane Cotten and believe that the other Blackmon children were her siblings.
Can anyone shed any light?
