!NAMED-PROBATE ROLL # 17 Marion Co., SC
A document dated 17 Feb 1848 in the Marion County Equity rolls helps document this family quite nicely. The Case was Joseph Byrd and Hamilton Blackman vs John Blackman Jr and John Blackman and wife vs H.G. Byrd, Executor. The gist of the case was that Elizabeth Bird died leaving heirs including Ann Blackman, wife of John Blackman. John Blackman made a deed of trust to his children: Hamilton Blackman, Mary Ann Blackman, Betsey Blackman and John Blackman. The case stated that Betsy Blackman died under age and unmarried. (Roll # 17, Marion County, South Carolina Extracts from Equity Rolls by Lucile Utley)
The above date must be slightly wrong, or else Elizabeth Bird's Will is wrong (the date, anyway). Elizabeth Bird made her will on 14 Mar 1848 naming children including daughter "Ann Blackmon". (Marion County Probate Records Volume I, # 109 by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, Indexed by Ferrell and Nancy Prosser, 1985). ;

Osborne Lane married a Miss Crawford, a sister of old James Crawford, of Spring Branch-I suppose, older than her brother. The Crawfords were quite respectable in that day and have continued to be so down to the present time. The fruits of the marriage, as known, were eight sons, John, Thomas, Alexander, James, Robert, David, Stephen and William, and two daughters, Kesiah and Elizabeth.
...
Of the daughters, one, Elizabeth, married old John Blackman, a son of the old Tory John, that Colonel Murphy tied and whipped ; by this marriage were three children born and raised, as known to the writer- Stephen Blackman and John, called Jack ; the name of the daughter was Elizabeth, or Betsey; when an old maid, she became the second wife of Rev. John D. Coleman, below Marion ; both are dead ; don't know whether she left any children or not. Stephen Blackman married some one, to the writer not known ; he died many years ago, and left a son, William, called Billy Blackman, and is now a middle-aged man and lives somewhere in the Latta neighborhood ; married, and has a family. John (Jack) Blackman married a Miss Bird, a sister of the late Hugh and Joe Bird, of the Toby's Creek section ; by her he raised two sons, Joseph A. and Hamilton, who, like their father, were good soldiers in the war. Hamilton was killed about Charleston, S. C. Joe died since the war, leaving several children; his widow married again, Robert C. Rogers, of Wahee Township ; know nothing of Joseph A. Blackman's children, suppose some or all of them are grown. John (Jack) Blackman was married a second time, late in life, to Caroline Mears, and by her had and raised one or two sons- one, named John, is as much like old John as it- is possible for a young man to favor an old man ; these sons are in the Mullins section. Old John (Jack) died in 1895, in June, and was ninety years of age in December before he died, as brave and patriotic as any man that ever lived in the county, and as honest as the days were long. ;

!NOTES:Caroline was a single mother having at least 8 children. Two of her children (Hannah-1849 and Edward-1852) are probably the children of John Coleman, whom she was living with in 1850. He named her and them in his Will (1853) though no relationship was stated. She had other children at that time, but he didn't mention them, so that suggests he wasn't the father of any of the others.
Edward's D/C shows his father as blank, and mother as --- Johnson. Caroline's oldest son, Dallas, was listed as a Johnson on some records, so was she a Johnson by birth and later married a Mears/Mayers? Or was it that Dallas's father was a Johnson. There was a Lewis Johnson age 16 with the family in 1850 (Caroline was 19 then).
Caroline's last child was John, born in 1866. Apparently John A. Blackman (her next door neighbor then) was the father, for they later married and John (Jr) took the Blackman name.
The parents of the other children are unknown at this time. ;
