Joseph Blansett was born to Martha Blancett on 29 Mar 1847 on the south side of the Tennessee River in Jackson County, AL. Martha was not married at the time of Joseph's birth. The father was reputed to be Hardin "Hardy" Painter, a married man who lived "over the hill" in DeKalb County, AL. Hardy Painter apparently sired at least six children by at least five different woman. Joseph's connection to Hardy Painter has been confirmed through DNA analysis. Joseph's brother James Blansett, who was born in 1849, was also the product of the liaison between Martha and Hardy Painter.
Martha Blancett apparently married the widower Shadrack Gentry in Jackson County, AL, on 17 Jan 1854. The groom is listed as Shadwick Gentry and the bride is listed as Martha Blancett. A justice of the peace performed the ceremony. After having one child (Mary Jane) in Alabama in or about 1854, the new family left Alabama for Arkansas. While there, Martha delivered two children: Alexander and David. Right before the 1860 federal census was conducted, the family of seven moved from Arkansas to Missouri. They were enumerated on 22 Jun 1860 while living in the Benton Township of Howell County, MO. Shadrack (aka Shedrick) Gentry was listed as 60 years old, a native of South Carolina, a farmer, and the owner of personal property valued at $100. He could not read or write English. Martha J. was listed as being either 26 or 36 years of age (likely 36), a native of Alabama, and unable to read or write English. The children were Joseph (13), James (7), Mary J. (6), Alexander (3), and David (1). As mentioned earlier, Joseph, James, and Mary J. were born in Alabama, while Alexander and David were born in Arkansas. The ages of all the children appear to be correct, except for James. He should have been listed as either 10 or 11 years old age. (David apparently died before the 1870 federal census, as he is not listed in that one.)
It appears from the available records that the family moved back to Arkansas after the 1860 federal census. No information is available at this point, but the family liked moved back to Arkansas after the start of the Civil in 1861 to escape being caught in any battles.
Both Joseph and James Blansett grew to manhood in Arkansas and both apparently spent their entire adult lives in Randolph County. Official records show each owned land in that county.
Joseph married twice. Eual Blansett, Sr, found a record of a Joseph (as Blanchard), who was married to A. E. Gardner in Randolph County, Arkansas, on April 18, 1867. They were married by John Hufstedler, Justice of the Peace. Joseph listed his age at the time of the marriage as 22 years. He was wrong by two years. He was actually only a little over 20 years of age. He was probably attempting to accomplish two things: meet the legal requirement to marry and pull himself a little closer to the age of his bride. She was a much older woman. She listed her age as 33 years old.
It appears that A. E. Gardner is Angeline Elizabeth Gardner. Calvin Gardner married Elizabeth A. Delph on 27 Feb 1856 in Madison County, Tennessee. At the time of the 1860 federal census, Calvin and Elizabeth Gardner were living in Roanoak Township in Randolph County, Arkansas. They were enumerated on 6 Sep 1860. The nearest post office was Blacks Ferry. Calvin was listed with a last name that appears to the ancestry.com indexer as Guoedner. He was 21 years old, a farmer, a native of Tennessee, and he could not read or write English. Elizabeth was listed as Angeline Guoedner. She was 25 years old, a housekeeper, and a native of Tennessee. There is no mark as to whether she could read or write, but there is also not one for their daughter Josephine, who was one year old. She was born in Tennessee. Calvin Gardner is not in any other census record. It appears that he died before 1867. It appears fairly certain that A. E. Gardner is Angeline Elizabeth Gardner nee Delph. Based on her age of 33 years at the time of her marriage in April 1867, the fact that she was living in Randolph County, AR, and the fact that she was born in Tennessee and James Shadrack Blansett's mother was born in Tennessee, it seems she is the person who married Joseph Blansett and birthed James.
It had been speculated that the woman who married Joseph Blansett in 1867 was a women with a maiden name of Mary Ann E. Smith and she had previously been married to Robert B. Gardner. Mary Ann E. Smith was born in 1843 to William H. and Margaret Smith. She was married in Lawrence County, Arkansas, on February 24, 1859, to Robert B. Gardner. They had one child, Martha, who was born in 1860. Unfortunately, Mary Ann E. Gardner is definitely not the A. E. Gardner that Joseph married. Mary Ann E. Gardner can be found married to Robert B. Gardner in the 1870 federal census. She is not in the 1880 federal census because she died at the first of 1880.
A. E. Blansett gave birth to James Shadrack Blansett on or about 21 Jan 1868, nine months and three days after A. E. and Joseph were married. No one knows when A. E. died, whether at childbirth, shortly thereafter, or a couple of years later. In any event, she was deceased when Joseph married Mary Ann Riddle on 7 May 1876, when his son James was likely 8 years old. Joseph and Mary Ann had four children: John (born in 1877), William (born in 1879), Steve (born on April 2, 1889), and Joe (with an unknown birth date, who married a Texan, probably didn't have any children, and is buried in Linden, Texas).
Joseph Blansett is in the 1880 federal census as Jo Blanchett. He and his family were enumerated on 7 Jun 1880 while living in the Elevenpoints Township of Randolph County, Arkansas. Joseph was listed as being 33 years old, married, a farmer, and disabled. He was a native of Alabama, as were she parents before him. He could not write English and he may not have been read English. Whether he could read English or not is hard to know because the mark goes the wrong way and it appears to have been partially erased. Maybe Joseph could read some English. Also, what his disability was is not recorded. His wife was Mary. She was 22 years old, married, and keeping house. She was born in Alabama, as were her parents before her. She could not read or write English. There were three children in the home. They were Shady (12), John (3), and William (one month, born in May 1880). Shady (true name was James Shadrack Blansett) was born in Alabama, although the census indicates he was born in Arkansas. His father was born in Alabama and his mother in Tennessee. (This is the only indication as to where his mother, A. E. Gardner Blansett, was born, if correct.) Shady had been in school for 3 months the previous year. John and William were born in Arkansas and their parents were both born in Alabama. Others in the home included Andy Craze (27), Margaret Gentry (22), James Gentry (4), and William Gentry (2). Interestingly, Andy Craze was another child born out of wedlock to Hardin Painter.
Joseph died on 15 Feb 1899, when he was almost 52 years old. According to Kathleen Valentine, a granddaughter of Joseph, he was fatally injured when a horse fell on him. Joseph was riding the horse to notify a doctor that a family member was ill. The horse apparently stumbled, causing Joseph to fall from the horse to the roadway. The horse could not regain its balance and it tumbled upon Joseph, inflicting what appears to have been serious internal injuries. Joseph is buried in the Bly (or New Covenant, as it is also called) Cemetery in southwestern Randolph County. Mary Ann Blansett had died the year before.
