Blackburn Family.
Hide Profile
The Blackburn family has its roots in industrial Lancashire, England. Joseph Blackburn (1819-1875) was named for his grandfather (birth and death dates unknown), a "yeoman" and "stuffmaker" of the parish of Great Horton, now a portion of the city of Bradford. The elder, Joseph Blackburn was married twice. His second wife was Margaret Turner, the mother of his four children; Richard, Margaret, Sarah, and John, the father of the Joseph Blackburn who is the subject of the bulk of these papers. John Blackburn and his wife, Martha Whitaker, immigrated to America with their young son, Joseph, in 1826. Joseph Blackburn was ordained by the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1850. He organized the "F" Company of the 70th Regiment of the Ohio Volunteers in 1861. Wounded at Shiloh or Pittsburgh Landing in 1862, he was sent home. His post-war days were filled with disappointment, as he was not able to regain full-time membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church. Joseph Blackburn died September 22, 1876 at the Dayton Insane Asylum.
