  • Notes 
    • From June Pollard, March 2006;
      "Jim, Dr. Charles Hackett (deceased-retired prof. from the Univ. of TX in Austin) told me sev. years ago that Martha Carney Blackburn stated her parents were from "Maryland" - Dr. Joe Rude, a desc. of the Blackburn family of TX, stated before his death that the Blackburns always knew that John Carney was the father of Martha but did not know the name of Carney's wife...Charles speculated that just MAYBE the middle names Martha gave to her sons: Rose, York (maybe other names I cannot look up right now) would be a clue to her mother's maiden name..."

      From Mary Meyer

      "My mother used to tell me: Martha Carney Blackburn and my grandmother Sarah Elizabeth Blackburn (Lowder) traveled by surrey to Washington, D.C. for the inauguration of James K. Polk and both received gold snuff boxes. Sure wold love to see such an heirloom. I have copies of the will of Gen. Samuel Blackburn, a brother of Robert and also of Benjamin, which established the line.
