Notes
From "Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine", Volumes 1-2, edited by Lyon Gardiner Tyler, pg. 263-264:
- Some Descendants of Lieutenants William Blackburn, compiled by Annie Noble Sims, Savannah, Ga.
- In the Land Office at Richmond, Virginia, in Book H, page 594, it is recorded that A.D. 1755 Lord Fairfax made a Grant of land to "Arthur, George and William Blackburn of Fairfax County, Virginia". The land granted them was in Frederick County, Virginia, "on Mulberry Run".
- These three brothers at a much later date removed to what is now Washington County, Virginia, see pages 619, 809 and 813 of "History of Southeset Virginia" by Lewis Preston Summers. Scores of references in "Southwest Virginia" show that these men were prominent in political, religious and social life of Washington County.
- That "Arthur, George and William Blackburn" were brothers is stated in the Will of George Blackburn, recorded August 18th, 1778 at Abingdon, Washington County, Virginia, in Will Book 1, page 13.
- Their relationship is also stated in the Will of Arthur Blackburn, recorded August 20th, 1782 at Abingdon, Washington County, Virginia, in Will Book 1, page 82.
- In both Wills, two sisters are also mentioned; Margaret (Blackburn) Casey, wife of William Casey (note: other sources have this as John Casey) and Mary (Blackburn) White.
- Lieutenant William Blackburn of Washington County, Virginia, was killed in the Battle of King's Mountain, October 7th, 1780, see page 304 in "King's Mountain and Its Heroes", by Lyman C. Draper.
