There are many branches of the Blassingame Family. We believe that they may all be related. They were from the Seneca & Anderson, South Carolina area. We have been informed that there were 2 Blassingame brothers who were separated during slavery days. One brother went one way and the other brother went another way.
Emiziah Sr. & Lula Evans Dirton had a daughter, Aurelia Dirton, who married Jim nto the Blassingame family. Emiziah & Lula's son, Elliott Dirton, married a Berniece Blassingame. So here, sister Aurelia Dirton and her brother Elliott Dirton both married Blassingames who were sister and brother, Berniece Blassingame and Jim Blassingame. Also, 2 of Aurelia & Jim's children married brother & sister. Horace Blassingame married Rose Henderson and Horace's sister, Helen Blassingame married Rev.Alvin Henderson who is Rose's brother.
