About William Blackwood

William Blackwood appears to have likely been married twice. As he named his apparent second wife Eloner [Eleanor] and her seven children in his will, it appears they both were married previously. After William Blackwood died in 1779, Eloner married Mark Hadden in 1781. Additional research is needed on this family.
