James Blackshear, son of Alexander and Agnes Blackshear, became the father of James Blackshear, Jr., who was killed by Tories during the Revolutionary War. He along with his cousin Martin Franck had been appointed by the governor as lieutenants of troops to be raised in defense of the Province. Shortly thereafter they were captured by Tories, and each was tied to a stake and shot to death. The Blackshear family intermarried with all of the Chinquapin Chapel families, including Franck, Huggins, Stanley, and Koonce.
John Martin Franck, a German but not from the Palatinate, came to America in 1709, on the same ship with Philip Mueller and his family, who were from the Palatinate section of Germany. Franck, then a mature scholar of 27 years of age, fell in love with Jacob Mueller's young daughter, Civilla, (sometimes listed as Sevil), she was but 17 years of age and too young for marriage, so we have a case of the old love story, "he waited for her". Among their issue was a daughter, Catherine, who married first, Hardy Bush and had issue, after the death of Bush, Catherine married James Blackshear. The location of the Franck settlement was quite near to the location of the Alexander Blackshear settlement, a few miles from New Berne, (now Newbern, N. C.) the Blackshear-Franck community was then known as "New Germany.",
