This is my first attempt at creating a personal web site. I thought I'd begin by publishing some Blanks family
research information I've been able to gather over the last 30+ years. Although I have not dedicated a lot of time
and energy to this research, I've been able to piece together some information that may be helpful.
I hope you enjoy and find this informative.
Growing up, my Dad use to tell me stories of his Grandfather and Grandmother, John Henry Blanks and Martha Hogan Blanks.
John Henry was a Civil War veteran and for a period of time, raised my Dad, George William Blanks and his brother, Clifford
Joseph (Uncle Joe) Blanks.
Many of the comments I relate on this site, are stories I recall my Dad telling me.

John Henry Blanks and Martha Hogan Blanks were married after he returned from the Civil war. She was
the daughter of one of the Hogan brothers that founded Hogansville, GA and her mother was full blooded Indian (either Creek
or Cherokee, unknown at this time). Martha and John raised six boys on their farm. Thomas Hill Blanks was the
4th born and was my Grandfather.
