Preface
We are writing this
with the hope that it will dispel much of the false information which is
present on the web today about our Blanton family. The internet has made
it possible to ascertain information which was impossible to find just
a few years ago. Unfortunately, it has also helped to spread false information.
We hope that by presenting this data for free on our website, we can dispel some of the myths that are being passed
around. It is also our hope that by placing our documentation on the web, we will encourage
other researchers to only present documented information on their websites.
We
have spent countless hours in libraries, Family History Centers, courthouses,
and cemeteries across the nation compiling documentation for this project. Among
them are the Clayton Public Library in Houston, Texas; Kern County Public Library
- Beale Branch in Bakersfield,
California; Greenville Public Library in Greenville, South Carolina; Dallas
Public Library in Dallas, Texas; Garnet A. Williams Pike County Genealogy Room,
Frankfort, Kentucky; West Palm Beach Public Library, West Palm Beach, Florida;
Vero Beach Public Library, Vero Beach, Florida; the Los Angeles, California Family History Center;
the Stuart, Florida Family History Center; the
Dallas, Texas Family History Center; the Johnson County, Kentucky Historical
Society; the Magoffin County, Kentucky Historical Society; and the Daughters
of the Republic of Texas Library and Archives, San Antonio, Texas. We would like to thank all of the workers
and volunteers at these places who have been so helpful to us in our quest for
information. Also, our heartfelt thanks goes out to the many cousins we
have met on the internet who have so graciously shared their information with
us. These researchers are listed as sources along with the
information they contributed.
