I found this. I'm assuming that Elizabeth and John weren't married because it only states that they "met"
59. ELIZABETH3 BLANKENSHIP (BENNETT BURNET2, AMERICAN1 BLANKENSHIPS) was born June 1826 in VA, and died September 22, 1913 in Sparta, White Co., TN. She met (1) JOHN BLANKENSHIP Abt. 1848. He was born in TN. She married (2) JACOB BAKER October 11, 1853 in Sparta, White Co., TN. He was born 1818, and died August 25, 1889 in Sparta, White Co., TN.
Child of ELIZABETH BLANKENSHIP and JOHN BLANKENSHIP is:
166. i. John J.4 Blankenship, b. August 12, 1849, Sparta, White Co., TN; d. April 16, 1938, Muskogee Co., OK.
