Notes for Benjamin BLACKBURN
Della Bailey lists birthplace as Agusta, Agusta Co, VA.394

Alternative birth place Ireland

Washington Co, NC was in the state of Franklin at the time.

BLACKBURN is British, means “Black, swift stream.”

1st. generation  Benjamin.  I believe he was born in Ireland, not Augusta Co. VA. I don't think anyone knows for sure, but I believe the Blackburns were in Chester Co. PA before they settled in VA. 
I think the date of his marriage to Mary might be a guess based on the age of their first child, rather than proven data. That's not particularly important.499
Notes for Benjamin & Mary (Family)
Alternative marriage place is Chester Co, PA
