Blackman descendants are actively documenting and researching the family so I will connect with what is already there. My family descends from Mary Ann Blackman daughter of James Blackman and Elizabeth Harley. Mary Ann married Josephus Henry Barsden and her story can be found under the Barsden page. Descendants can also join the Facebook site https://www.facebook.com/groups/blackmangenealogy/ and the site https://www.facebook.com/groups/662788234874796/
