Submitter Notes: White County Marriage records lists a marriage for B.
K. Price and Sarah Blankenship on August 15, 1879. This Sarah is
believed to be Nancy Lee Ann Blankenship. In the 1880 White County
census, Nancy L(ee Ann) Price is living with her father, John
Blankenship. White County Marriage records lists a marriage for H. J.
Parson (40) to Lean Price (28) for April 22, 1884. It is believed that
this marriage did not take place, because Lee Ann was still married to
B. K. Price. The following divorce took place on June 27, 1884. Her
maiden name was restored to Blankenship. White County Marriage records
then lists a marriage record for Henry Parson to Leean Blankenship for
June 27, 1884.
