Transcription by Judy Young Thayer in usgenweb archives. http://files.usgwarchives.net/pa/york/wills/blackburn-john.txt Presumed children not mentioned in John's will are Samuel who died as an infant, William, and Elinor. It is unclear in William and Elinor were deceased by 1752 when John wrote his will. Taken from Blackburn Allied Descendants of John Blackburn, Sr by Evelyn Gibson, page 11. "John Blackburn Sr. left County Armagh, Ireland in 1736. He first appeared in America at the New Garden Monthly Meeting in Chester, Pennsylvania. That meeting recorded on 8 mo-30-1736: 'John Blackburn produced a certificate of removal from the Ballyhagen Meeting in ye North of Ireland, bearing the date ye 2nd of ye 4th mo., 1736 in behalfe of himselfe, wife, and children, which recommends him a member, and was read here and accepted.'" "It is quite probable that John Sr, first brought his family to the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Samuel and Elizabeth (Blackburn) Morton. Samuel and Elizabeth had preceded John, Sr's family to American (arriving ca 1729) and were members of the New Garden Meeting."
