Nancy's parents were:
Henry Blankenship and Sarah (Sally) Fortner. Henry's father was Clayborne Blankenship and his mother is Mary. Henry m. Sarah (Sallie)Fortner June 13, 1817, but I don't have where. He married next Elizabeth (Polly) Green abt. 1850. Henry and Sarah had Elizabeth, Nancy, Lucinda, William H., John and Eli. Lucinda was b. abt. 1828 and m. July 10, 1854 to Nicholas Grimmett in Wyoming Co., WV. Elizabeth b. abt. 1820 and m. Squire Toler. Eli was b. in Logan Co., WV. I don't have any more info this line.

Pearl is a child of one of the above children, and I believe is still living in the Everett area, Washington. The above Wamplers owned and operated a family store in the early 1900s in Silver Lake, Washington. I know that Louisa also had a cousin named Ilene Taylor who lived in Columbus, Ohio, in the late 1970s.
I know my grgrgrandfather was named Edward Parsons and he
and Sarah Jackson were the parents of my grgrandfather Andrew Jackson Parsons, born 3/6/1866 in Calhoun County, West Virginia. Edward Parsons apparently was killed in a corn patch feud and orphaned Andrew Jackson Parsons. I do not more details than this and am very interested in finding more information. I am also particularly interested in finding more information on the Wamplers and Parsons in WV or VA and the Blankenships in VA and KY.
Andrew Jackson Parsons married Louisa Emory Wampler and had 11 children:
Betty Angelina Parsons, DOB: 6/23/1895, in Blue Ridge, VA;
Mary Sara Ann Parsons, DOB: 7/28/1897, in Blue Ridge, VA;
Donna Parsons, DOB: 2/22/1899;
Samuel James, 12/12/1899, in Blue Ridge, VA;
Alonzo McKinley Parsons, DOB: 1/17/01, in Wheeling, WV;
Iva Marie Parsons, DOB: 1/26/03, in Wheeling, WV;
Arthur Jackson, DOB: 3/24/05, Bellville, WA;
Benjamin Franklin Parsons (my grandfather), DOB: 8/9/09, Bellville, WA;
Dortha Ellen Parsons, DOB: 5/10/07, Bellville, WA;
Edward Carnary Parsons, DOB: 9/16/11, Canada; and
Lou Amy Parsons, DOB: 5/9/14, Bellville, WA.
Apparently, Andrew Jackson Parsons was a logger. He died of stomach cancer 1/29/15 in Bellfast, WA. Louisa married a Barr and Daniels before she died on November 26, 1959, in Burlington, WA.
Benjamin Franklin Parsons married my grandmother Lesta Mae Boyce and had the following children:
Donald Edward Parsons (my father), DOB: 1/10/29, in Yakima, WA, and died in Juneau, Alaska, of lung cancer on 4/18/85;
Kenny Parsons, birthdate unknown, died in WA in a motorcycle accident in the mid-1950s;
Lester Parsons, birthdate unknown, still living; and
Doris Parsons, birthdate unknown, still living.
Lesta (Boyce) Parsons' (deceased May 2004) family history is as follows:
My grgrgrandfather was Thomas W. Boice, and he was born in Ohio in July 1857, and he married Mary E. Boice, DOB: September 1860, birthplace Missouri. They had the following children:
Oscar Thomas Boice (my grgrandfather), DOB: July 1883, birthplace Missouri
Alfred Roy Boice, DOB: July 1888, birthplace Missouri
Nettie Boice (Evans) DOB: November 1880, birthplace Missouri, and married to Elim L. Evans, DOB: October 1865, birthplace ILL.

Phillip Boyce, DOB and birthplace unknown
Lesta Mae Boyce (my grandmother and still living), DOB: August 18, 1909, in Nevada, Missouri
My grgrandfather, Oscar, died during the Influenza epidemic in 1917/1918. Grgruncle Alfred Roy married a cousin Boyce, name unknown, and never had children. Oscar Lora Shipler Boyce and Grandma Lesta Mae Boyce Parsons moved to Washington state in 1919. Lora married Teman(sp?), and I do not know his first name, but they had a son named Johnny and he is still alive, married to Hilda, and they have children. One daughter is named, Sherry. Lora's parents were Phillip Shipler and Minnie Frizzelle.

I noticed in the 1900 census records the family name was spelled, "Boise," and in the 1910 census records, the family name was spelled as "Boyce." The name is still spelled, "Boyce." I know that we have a lot of Boyce relatives in Missouri and in Oskarloosa, Iowa. I know that Boyce or Boise is of Dutch orgin.
