Alias: Grandsir /Burwell/REFN: 1897page 106, Cleveland Co. Heritage"In 1781, Burwell Blanton was drafted for service in the Revolution and served for a term of three months and ten days as a private in Capt. Navals Co. N.C. Militia, commanded by Col. John Earls (National Archives N. BLWT 59093-160-55). He walked to Charleston to the relief of General Lincoln, the General having surrendered before they arrived.Burwell Blanton was twice married, first to Phoebe Margaret Bridges. They settled on Beaver Dam creek on First Broad River near his father GEORGE BLANTON.A grandchild of Burwell Blanton described him as 'a man of uncommon physical abilities and of good mind, but a laboring man. With him not to work with his hands was sin: idleness was a vice he did not indulge, neither would he allow it to be about him.' He had by his first marriage ten children, each of them rearing large families which are the forbears of the Cleveland and Rutherford Counties' Blantons.B. H. Bridges of Rutherford County, North Carolina, stated in a 1912 letter 'I have seen 'Grandsir' Burwell many times. My father lived near him. He died when I was about twelve years old. He was confined to a large rolling chair, not able to walk, for a year or two before his death. His grandson, 'Lawyer' Burt Blanton (son of John) was appointed his guardian.' On 13 February 1857 at the age of 93 Burwell Blanton was granted a County Land Warrant for 160 acres. A government marker is at his grave in the family cemetery. His father, GEORGE BLANTON, is also buried in the cemetery. (Cleveland County Cemetery Records in the Museum)." Mrs. S. Arnold Ramey

This is definitely a „work in progress.“ As far as possible, I have tried to independently confirm all information. Beginning in the late 1800s the spelling of the family name Green/Greene seems to have become a matter of fashion rather than logic so try both variations when looking for people.
