Washington Blackburn was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, October 23, 1829.
His parents were Ephraim, born 1788, and died 1836,
and Barbara (House) Blackburn.
His paternal grandparents were Ephraim and Prudence (Rich) Blackburn. This Ephraim was a commissioned officer in General Washington's army and was the Ephraim Blackburn, the Scotch ancestor who emigrated to Pennsylvania about 1728.
After serving an apprenticeship for four years at the carpenter's trade, Washington Blackburn worked one season in the Shenandoah valley, and in the spring of 1851, came to Highland County, Ohio.
Until 1866, he was a builder of houses and barns that are still a credit to his handicraft.
Since that time he has been a farmer.
For many years, while his children were growing to man and womanhood, he resided at what is known as the Blackburn homestead in Penn Township.
Recently he removed to a comfortable home in New Vienna and relinquished the active management of his real estate to a younger generation.
February 25, 1858, he was married to Mary Ann, daughter of Charles and Betsey (Moore) Good, the former being member of a family belonging to the Society of Friends in Pennsylvania for generations.
Charles Good achieved high reputation in Penn Township for his modern and progressive methods in agriculture.
He was regarded as one of the best farmers in the county, his life being one of great activity and made notable by his conscientious performance of every duty.
The children of Washington and Mary Ann (Good) Blackburn are: Anna, at home; Charles G., mentioned more fully below; Ella, a graduate of the Philadelphia Woman's Medical College, class of 1898, for two years practicing in Indiana and recently removed to New Vienna; Howard L., who married Nellie May Jones of Chillicothe and is farming in Clinton County; Irene, a trained nurse residing in Philadelphia; Frank H., superintendent of the Incandescent Lamp factory at Fostoria, Ohio and Wilbur, a dentist Shelbyville, Indiana, who married Nellie Arthur.
Charles G. Blackburn, second of the family in age, was born in New Vienna, Ohio, in 1863.
In 1902, he removed to the Blackburn homestead. Here his maternal grandfather settled in 1854. For more than twenty years Charles Good labored to make the farm his ideal of a country home.
Three generations have dwelt there and as yet the death angel has not crossed the portals.
May the peace, the thrift, the quiet, of an old-time Quaker home long abound there.
December 20, 1894, Charles G. Blackburn was married to Bertha, daughter of Elwood and Mary D. (Phillips) Hallowell, of Chester County, Pennsylvania.
They came to Fairfield Township in 1850, where Mr. Hallowell died July 9, 1885, aged about sixty-one years.
The children of Charles G. and Bertha Blackburn are Joseph H., born October 15, 1897, and Charles G. Jr., born February 24, 1900.
