Benjamin Blount who married Nancy Snodgrass
I am looking for information on Benjamin Blount who married Nancy Snodgrass in Sangamon Co ILL Aug 17, 1832. This could have been his second marriage, for a Benjamin Blount is in the 1830 census in Sangamon Co. Benjamin Blount died in 1838. His will did not name any children, just Nancy.
The Benjamin Blount that is in Sangamon Co Ill 1830 census has 2 males(under 5) 1 male(5-10) 1 male(10-15) 2 males(15-20) one male(20-30) one male(40-50) 2 females(under 5) 1 female(30-40). He lived three doors from William Blount, who had migrated from Hardin Co TN to ILL with his brother, Reading Blount. I believe this Benjamin Blount was in Williamson Co TN along with Reading and Isaac W Blount in 1815. In the War of 1812, there is a Pvt. Benjamin Blount in Capt Thomas Well's Co. 2 Reg't West Tennessee Militia. Also, there is an Pvt. Isaac W Blount and a Pvt. Reading Blount in the War of 1812 living in Williamson Co Tn in 1815.
As early as 1807, I find a Benjamin Blount in Rutherford Co TN on tax lists or being a witness. In the Tennessee Militia, Rutherford Co Regiments, I find a Lt Benjamin Blount, 22nd regiment Oct 21, 1808. As to whether this is the same fellow, I do not know.
I find a Benjamin Blount in Giles Co TN in the 1820 census. He had 4 males(under 10) 1 male(10-16) 1 male(26-45) 1 female(under 10) 1 female(26-45). In 1820, I find Reading and Isaac Blount in the Hardin Co TN census. I believe this Benjamin Blount migrated on to ILL and is the same Benjamin who is in the 1830 census in Sangamon Co ILL and married Nancy Snodgrass in 1832. In the 1850 Christian Co ILL census, I find a Henry, Wiley, William and David Blount, a James Blount in Sangamon Co, who is born in TN. They could possible be Benjamin's sons.
A Benjamin B Blount got a military tract of 160 acres in Pike Co ILL, April 17, 1818. However, I don't think this is the same Benjamin Blount. This Benjamin B Blount enlisted July 25, 1812 in Washington Co NC for 5 years. I find no Blounts in the 1820 census in ILL, evidently this Benjamin Blount never lived in ILL.
