aka Jerry Gearheart Blackwell, s/o unknown. [Death Cert

Find A Grave notation: Jerry went by the last name of
Blackwell and that is on his tombstone, but his birth name was Gearheart.
Abraham and Mary Blackwell kept him some and so did Isaac Blackwell. On one of the
census records, it was stated he was "like one of the family."
Research does not reveal who his parents were but the fact he was buried in
the family cemetery reveals how the Blackwell family felt about him.
