There seems to be a some interest in the Blakeslee line and I am also a Blakeslee. Caroline Blakeslee, dau Gervase Blakeslee, b about 1807 is my gr gr gr grandmother. I'm in contact with several other people from the line who have done a lot research on the Samuel Blakeslee line...there are a quite a few unanswered questions, about Samuel Samuel, himself and the correctness of lineages found today. One of the best resources I found was in CT Families which was edited by Gary Boyd Roberts of NEHGS. One of the researchers I am contact with has spoken several times to Gary, which shed some light on the line. You may want to write him at NEHGS. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
