Nita,

John William Blanton was a construct of Noah Bradley in "Our Father's Family." He was made up of several Blantons. The William Blanton who lived in Monroe VA was a different person. The father of John died in Warren County, TN.

People recopy versions of this genealogy from website to website without even realizing its origins. Some of the entries are totally ridiculous.

We have a lot of information on the real father of John. He died in Warren County, TN. He was married to Hannah Hobbs, according to tradition.
