Summary
Details

The objective of this work is to identify some prominent descendants and ancestors of George Blackiston who arrived in America in 1668-1669 after his family was persecuted by the returning King Charles II of England in retaliation for the Blackiston family's involvement in the execution of his father King Charles I. George's Uncle John Blackiston was one of the judges who signed the death warrant for King Charles I.

Ironically, several of George's descendants also became judges in Maryland. George Blackiston had descendants of many other professions - governors, sheriffs, shoemakers, farmers, construction workers, entrepreneurs, businessmen, military men, etc. It is a proud legacy of this noble family.

This work offers a wealth of detailed biographical and genealogical information grouped in four sections. ""The Descendants in Maryland"" covers fourteen generations, from Rev. Marmaduke Blackiston (c.1563-c.1639) to Guy Almony III (born 2020); ""Miscellaneous Blackistons"" presents a family who appears to be related, but has not yet been linked; ""Royal Relationship Charts;"" and ""Ancestors in Europe,"" which covers eighteen generations, from John Blackiston (1669-1733) to King Louis VII of France (1120-1180).

To make the index more user-friendly, all variations of the Blackston name (Blackistone, Blakiston, Blaxton, etc.) are listed under Blackiston in the index. Where various spellings were used, it has been noted with the source records abstracted. Numerous photos, facsimile reprints of original documents, and a full-name index add to the value of this work.
