John
Blackwell (10) married Hannah Cook in Cowley, Gloucester, England in 1800.
From this marriage came at
least
one son by the name of George Blackwell who married Mary Barradell.
It was George and Mary who had the
dream of
America, and instilled this in their family. Through their children
they brought
our
Blackwell Family to the New World. That is the connection to all of us.

In 1775 it was the start of the American War
of Independence. The Continental Congress
established a
regular
army in June 1775, and appointed George Washington as commander-in-chief.
The United States Marine
Corps traces its
institutional roots to the Continental Marines of the war, formed at Tun Tavern
in Philadelphia, by a
resolution of the
Continental Congress on November 10, 1775, a date regarded and celebrated as the
birthday of
the Marine Corps.

Although John Blackwell (10) did not come to America, his son George (10.2) and subsequently
his
grandchildren did.
By the time John (10) had reached the
age of 13 (1788) the first load of
Convicts set sail to Australia At the time,
the British Government was going through drastic
changes, and
some of their policies caused hardships for the
common
people.
It was a
difficult time for Britain, and the opportunity to leave was met with excitement
and promise.
It was also at
the time
that
American and Canadian business and Government was doing everything
in their
power to
lure immigrants to
open the new
land.
British subjects were preferred due to their political system and
language.
John Blackwell is the first known
Blackwell in this portion of our Genealogy. As a result, we do not know
what order of birth he was. All we know at this point about his timeline
is that in our Blackwell Genealogy (that is aligned to the Twitchell/Twichell
Family timeline), John falls into the 10th generation. This was achieved
by looking at the timeline of the Twitchell/Twichell family. We note that
Lois Twichell was in the 12th Generation of her family. As a result, we
placed her Blackwell husband in the 12th Generation of our Blackwell Timeline.
This simply puts John in the 10th generation as he is the Grandfather to the
husband of Lois Twichell, George Blackwell 10.2.4 (4th Born of 2nd
Born from 10th Generation) For more information on our numerical system,

Update
-Recently, we have come across information on the internet that we think
is very accurate due to its detail. Although it is not documented proof, we
believe it is accurate information on the Parents of John of 1775 and his brothers and
sister.

Location of Towns and
Villages in Gloucester:
I always wondered why the family in England had been born in different areas.
I figured they must be some distance apart but in fact, the locations were very
close together. Some examples are listed below. My
knowledge of England's geography is very limited.
Distance from Cheltenham:
...Badgworth - 4 miles SSW

SPECULATION ONLY ABOUT JOHN BLACKWELL (10)
Speculation only about John Blackwell 10.
More Detail
on the information below is found on
Previous
The John Blackwell shown here is believed to be
our John Blackwell (10) as the third born of John and Jane Blackwell (Batch C02761) (Source
0425388) He is listed with all his brothers and sisters. Note the
same listing of names. This could be an important find as it may join
related families.
SPECULATION
Speculation: Although I can not prove it at this time, I am sure these Blackwells
listed below are all
related to my Blackwell Family. Research is underway. Record found in the LDS site is
listed below.
Note:
I have put in temporary family numbers for these children in order to show what
position they would be in if the following information was correct. If
true, all our family numbers would change. As an example, my present
number of 10.2.4.8.4.1 and would change to 9.3.2.4.8.4.1 should the information
below be correct. The 10 would be changed to 9.3 indicating the true
position of John of 1775 as being the 3rd born of 9.
John Blackwell and Jane Blackwell
(Maiden Unknown - could be "Brown")
b. Est. 1740
d. Est. pre 1800
Their children are listed
by IGI as follows.
Thomas Blackwell 9.1
Chr: 10 Jan 1773
Richard Blackwell 9.2
Chr: 03 Jan 1774
John Blackwell
9.3 Our John Blackwell (10) 'could' be the third born of
John Blackwell and Jane Blackwell
Chr: 03 Sep 1775
Mary Blackwell 9.4
Chr: 11 Jul 1778
Elizabeth Blackwell 9.5
Chr: 14 Feb 1781
George Blackwell 9.6 This George obviously
died before 1790, thus, another child was named George IN 1790.
Chr: 08 Jul 1784
Kezia Blackwell 9.7
Chr: 26 Feb 1786
Sarah Blackwell 9.8
Chr: 02 Nov 1787
George Blackwell 9.9
This is not our
George. Our George could be the son of 9.3 (Above)
Chr: 19 Oct 1790
Note: Almost all the children
have the same first names as our own Blackwell Family. The dates match
exactly for our John Blackwell 10.
IF TRUE then look at John Blackwell 9.3
above. This could be John Blackwell
10. in our Genealogy.
His Christening information
is listed as exactly the same year and date as our
John.
This is not considered documented proof, but it gets very close.
He would be the third born of the Ninth Generation. (We refer to him as
(10) - meaning his generation.)
If the above information is correct, then we potentially have found the 8th
Generation Blackwell's in the person of John Blackwell (9) His wife's name
was Jane and her maiden name could have been "Brown". This information
really only points a direction for further study.
