The widow of Thomas Blackwell of St. John's Parish, King William County, VA signed "articles of agreement" with the heirs of Blackwell following his death in June, 1804. The widow's name was ELIZABETH, who was a daughter of Elisha Meredith (1721-1796) and Elizabeth Pleasants Cocke.

Blackwell and his wife Elizabeth had a daughter born on June 6, 1777 who was named Mary Meredith Blackwell. Other children were Robert, Ann Blackwell Mitchell, Catherine, Sarah Lewis Blackwell, Thomas Blackwell, Jr., and Allen Blackwell.

Is anyone researching these Blackwells from King William County, Virginia? Would enjoy sharing more. The identity of Thomas Blackwell's wife (probably his second wife) as being Elizabeth Meredith is BRAND NEW INFORMATION. Please contact me if you are interested!
