General Notes (Husband)
"John Westfield M. Blassingame was born in Greenville County, South Carolina, between 1800 and 1810 according to the 1830 census of this county. He was living then with his mother, between 50 and 60 years old, with twenty-eight slaves. he is sometimes erroneously referred to as 'John Westfield A. Blassingame', but newspaper notices and his will refer to him as 'John Westfield M. Blassingame.' He was a planter." "He married Sarah Maria Sloan, eldest daughter of Captain David Sloan of Greenville District 'on Tuesday last' according to a notice in 'The Pendleton Messenger' of 17 January 1827. This date would be 16 January 1827." "An oil portrait believed by the writer to be this man is owned by Mrs. Stijepo Bjelovucic of Huntington, New York. She was formerly Harriet Towers, her mother being one of eight children of John B. Cleveland, a direct descendant of General John Blassingame. In a letter dated 30 May 1919 from Mr. Cleveland to Mrs. Martha B. Harrison now owned by Mrs. Mary Paddock of Fort Worth, he refers to the oil portrait as being of 'either William or Thomas Blassingame, son of General John Blassingame, who married Sarh Sloan' (emphasis added). The painting is of a handsome young man, appearing in his late twenties or early thirties, in civilian clothes of the period of 1820-1830. He has short dark hair and blue eyes, is quite distinguished looking, and is wearing a lace jabot or 'ruffled shirt'. The portrait is not signed, but possibly could have been done by the artist who painted the portrait of General John Blassingame now owned by Mrs. Mary Paddock. The writer believes that Mr. Cleveland was mistaken in stating that the portrait was that of 'William or Thomas' as William married Eliza Paul Townes and the General had no son named Thomas. In the postscript to his letter, Mr. Cleveland concedes that the portrait may indeed by John, and further describes it as being that of a young man with a ruffled shirt." "He died in Marion, Alabama, in 1836 and his will is recorded in Greenville County, South Carolina in Volume 1, 178701840, Section B, page 11. (Wynn, page 305) His widow married Major John Bomar on 6 December 1842 according to 'The Pendleton Messenger'."

General Notes (Husband)
"John Westfield M. Blassingame was born in Greenville County, South Carolina, between 1800 and 1810 according to the 1830 census of this county. He was living then with his mother, between 50 and 60 years old, with twenty-eight slaves. he is sometimes erroneously referred to as 'John Westfield A. Blassingame', but newspaper notices and his will refer to him as 'John Westfield M. Blassingame.' He was a planter." "He married Sarah Maria Sloan, eldest daughter of Captain David Sloan of Greenville District 'on Tuesday last' according to a notice in 'The Pendleton Messenger' of 17 January 1827. This date would be 16 January 1827." "An oil portrait believed by the writer to be this man is owned by Mrs. Stijepo Bjelovucic of Huntington, New York. She was formerly Harriet Towers, her mother being one of eight children of John B. Cleveland, a direct descendant of General John Blassingame. In a letter dated 30 May 1919 from Mr. Cleveland to Mrs. Martha B. Harrison now owned by Mrs. Mary Paddock of Fort Worth, he refers to the oil portrait as being of 'either William or Thomas Blassingame, son of General John Blassingame, who married Sarh Sloan' (emphasis added). The painting is of a handsome young man, appearing in his late twenties or early thirties, in civilian clothes of the period of 1820-1830. He has short dark hair and blue eyes, is quite distinguished looking, and is wearing a lace jabot or 'ruffled shirt'. The portrait is not signed, but possibly could have been done by the artist who painted the portrait of General John Blassingame now owned by Mrs. Mary Paddock. The writer believes that Mr. Cleveland was mistaken in stating that the portrait was that of 'William or Thomas' as William married Eliza Paul Townes and the General had no son named Thomas. In the postscript to his letter, Mr. Cleveland concedes that the portrait may indeed by John, and further describes it as being that of a young man with a ruffled shirt." "He died in Marion, Alabama, in 1836 and his will is recorded in Greenville County, South Carolina in Volume 1, 178701840, Section B, page 11. (Wynn, page 305) His widow married Major John Bomar on 6 December 1842 according to 'The Pendleton Messenger'."

General Notes for Child John Hayne Blassingame
"When he was 23 he went west and during the bloody riots in Kansas, when Albert Sidney Johnston was ordered to that state to quell the disturbances, he joined the army and was promoted for bravery." "After the riots were over he went farther west and settled in the Rockies where he passed an eventful life. According to Mrs. Hattie Choice Schroder of Greenville, South Carolina, a direct descendant of General John Blassingame, there was gossip that he had an Indian wife while living in the west." "When South Carolina seceded in December 1860, he rode all the way from Pike's Peak, a distance of 2000 miles on horseback, and upon arrival there enlisted in the Confederate army on 13 April 1861 at Spartanburg and was mustered into service on 4 June 1861 at Orangeburgh by Lieutenant Colonel Barnard E. Bee. He served as fifth corporal in First Company K (Spartan Rifles), 5th South Carolin Infantry, being promoted to second sergeant. Later he served on Company K (Captain Joseph Walker), Palmetto Sharpshooters, Jenkins Regiment (South Carolina), rising form second Lieutenant to Captain. He is referred to in 'War of the Rebellion, Official Records of the union and Confederate Armies' in Series I, Volume II, page 543, as Sergeant Blassingame, the date being 22 July 1861 and referring to an action at McLean's Ford." "According to Mrs. Schroder, he married Elizabeth Smith, of Columbia, South Carolina, but they had no children so they adopted her niece and named her Lallibess, or 'Lal'. Mrs. Wynn in 'Southern Lineages' says he married Elizabeth ('Bettie') Hayne, but it is believed this is an error. According to the 1880 census of Spartanburg County, South Carolina, his mother-in-law was Mary Abrams, born North Carolina." "During the War he was dangerously wounded while fighting in Virgina, but recovered and returned to serve with distinguished gallantry until the end of the War." "Mrs. Schroder says that Captain John Hayne Blassingame definitely visited the ancestral home in France and that all the cousins in Spartanburg know this to be a fact." "After the War he was elected Sheriff of his native county, but under the Reconstruction measures of Congress, having served as a Captain in the Confederate Army, he had to resign before the end of his term. After the Reconstruction days had passed he was elected County Treasurer by a large majority. This was in 1877, and two years later he was re-elected and the following year was again chosen Sheriff. After serving one term he retired from public life." "On 16 August 1896 while guarding the home of a relative and neighbour during their absence, he was shot down in cold blood by a colored burglar, who narrowly escaped being lynched." "(Reference: History of Spartanburg County, Dr. J.B.O. Landrum, published 1900; a picture of Captain Blassingame accompanies the article.)"
