I am trying to confirm if my GG Uncle John W. Blankenship was the same J.W. Blankenship who appears on the roster of Co F 64th NC Infantry. My GG Uncle was born in the late 1840s in Madison County, NC and is thought to be buried with his wife Matilda at the Rice Cemetery in Marshall, NC. In this thread, Edward Harding refers to the book "North Carolina Troops 1861-1865 A Roster", Volume XV, Pages 137 - 168 wherein you can also find rosters of the Field & Staff and each company, with information on each man taken from old records, Pages 169 - 276 (F&S and Companies A - N). Do you, or anyone you know, have access to his book? If so, please forward all info regarding J.W. Blankenship of Co F 64th NC Infantry. Contact me directly at: Wells2000@alltel.net
