Moses Blakeman and family of Jackson/Scioto,OH TN, KY, IL, VA
I'm searching for anyone who is also searching for the "notorious" Moses Blakeman and his wife Betty King.I have located a marriage in Tennessee for 1818 and have information on a Moses Blackman that is listed as a soldier in the East TN Militia for the War of 1812.I can only get back to the year 1811 for him, listed as a taxpaying soldier in TN. I am curious if anyone has researched back this far.The issue is I cannot locate a pension for him, and according to NARA files he was a deserter.In the DAR files he is listed as being ill, then deserting the militia.I descend through Andrew, then James L. then Roy, now Lester, who is my grandfather. We are also related to Illinois Blakemans of Sangamon County as Andrew followed his oldest son Samuel.
