Ervin and John David Blanks, N.TX 1800's
Allen Blanks and Susan Moon's son, Ervin Blanks was born in Ga. in 1834 and came to Grayson County Tx with siblings James, Joseph and Harriet. All initially settled in/near Kentuckytown or Whitewright. James died as prisoner of the Union in Illinois and left behind many descendants through his son William Allen Blanks. Ervin m. Lucinda Jane Ryon and they had nine children. Their son John David Blanks m. Frances B. Ellis, whose son John Dennis Blanks m. Mary Myrtle Wright. Mary Myrtle was the daughter of Gober Camp Wright and Linda Deavenport. She wasthe granddaughter of William Crow Wright and Julia Ann Amanda Wright(Gober), and, possibly Matthew W. and Mary Elizabeth Deavenport. John David Blanks ended up owning a Barber shop in Denton. Future generation's of Blanks families fanned out through neighboringnorth Texas counties. If any of these names ring a bell, I would definitely like to hear from you! Looking to find and document as much of our family tree as possible so that the next generation does not have to piece it together. I have most of John Dennis Blanks and Gober Camp Wright lines and more. Willing to share what I have and learn what I can. Thanks
