The Blue Family
James Peter Blue and Mattie Tilitha Blankenship Free married circa 1906.

James Peter Blue was born the youngest of six children on 10-18-1874 to John Cameron Blue (1843-1913) Moore County NC and Winsey Turner Ulmer (1842-1935) of Mississippi . James died 12-19-1943 at age 69 and is buried  in Beulah, near Marthasville, in Natchitoches Parish, LA. His parents are laid to rest at Zion's Rest Cemetery, Wallace, DeSoto Parish, Louisiana.
Mattie Tilitha Blankenship Free was born 4-19-1884 and died 7-4-1934 in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana.  There is a large Blankenship family listed in Green County Tennessee in 1870's (Knoxville area) and a family by the name of Free who travelled from Virginia to Tennessee and on to Kentucky. I do not know the origin of Mattie Tilitha Blankenship Free at this time.    Mattie was 28 when they got married. Her name would suggest a previous marriage, but I do not know of other children.
