-- note about Joseph and Stephen Blackburn:
they were both found living with a Ephram Blackburn (1816) and wife Amdanda in West Nottingham PA in 1870. Joseph does not appear to be Ephram's son, perhaps a nephew to yet another brother, assuming Stephen is a brother to Ephraim.
unknown how they are related to James' mother, but clearly there is some familial connection.
