About Josiah Blackwell

Notes for Josiah Blackwell:

There is a Josiah Blackwell 1800 and 1810 census in Laurens SC the right age range to be this man, but he had 5 slaves in 1800 and 9 slaves in 1810. However, another man of the same name is is Spartanburg in 1810, and it's more likely this was him:

1810 United States Federal Census

  • Name: Josiah Blackwell
  • Home in 1810 (City, County, State): Spartanburg, South Carolina
  • Free White Persons - Males - Under 10: 3
  • Free White Persons - Males - 26 thru 44 : 1
  • Free White Persons - Females - Under 10: 2
  • Free White Persons - Females - 16 thru 25: 1
  • Free White Persons - Females - 26 thru 44: 1
  • Number of Household Members Under 16: 5
  • Number of Household Members Over 25: 2
  • Number of Household Members: 8

Since the one in Spartanburg has no slaves, and also since there seem to be two listed simultaneously in the 1810 census, it seems likely the one in Laurens is not the same as the one in Spartanburg. A commenter on an Ancestry record noted that a Josiah Ruel Blackwell 1774-1826 married Isabella Abercrombie on 6 Jul 1794 Laurens, South Carolina, so this clarifies that two separate Josiah Blackwells of similar age co-existed.
