Looking for information on Ingram Blanks Peebles, who came to Williamson Co. from Northampton Co., NC. Not sure of the date of his relocation, but his brother (according to one source) who was Howell Peebles, Jr., and another brother, Samuel, were in Williamson Co. about 1817. Ingram Blanks would have been all of six at that time, so may not have made the trip quite that soon, but he was there by April 23, 1833, when he married Minerva A. Scales. They had six children, including Samuel Pinckney Peebles (my ggrandfather), five of whom were born in Williamson County. The sixth was born in Bastrop Co., Texas. Appreciate any help.
