In 1768 Thomas Blackett married Ann Rowland in Hexham, Northumberland. Their son John had at least four sons: John (who was the father of Hudson Blackburn Blackett, formerly held as a separate tree), George, Thomas and William. William moved to Liverpool, Lancashire, but some of his descendants eventually settled in County Durham. We have not so far discovered a baptism for Thomas senior, although Blacketts lived in Hexham at least as far back as the 16th century, when Margaret Blackett, widow, was buried there in 1579 and Nicholas Blackett in 1589.
