John Irwin Blackburn and his wife, Mary Wass, lived in Brown Township in 1850. She died in 1857, and I believe she is buried in Bethlehem Cemetery. The only information I have on her death is that she died in July, 1857. However, I just discovered her youngest son, John Irwin Blackburn, was born in September, 1857.

Her husband, John Irwin, Sr., continued to live in Carroll County. In 1880, he was living in Center Township with some of his children.

Could anyone provide any information on the death of Mary Wass Blackburn or her husband, John Irwin Blackburn, who died sometime between 1880 and 1900. John was born about 1810 in Ohio; Mary, 1815 in England. Also, are there any other Blackburns married and/or buried in Carroll County? I am also looking for marriage or death information on their children: Nancy, Milton, Phebe, Mary/Belinda, Joseph, Lydia, David and John, Jr.

Thanks for your help.
