Both of my Great, Great, Grandfathers are in this pic! Rev T Blankenship & John Lester! Nice!
Does anyone know if the Pricy Baker listed is the daughter of Hiram & Elizabeth E Baker Justus and wife of Samuel A Baker, son of Andrew & Harriet Smyth Baker?
Is the Polly Lester Hall Blankenship daughter of Levi & Amanda J Baker Lester?
