Hi List, I'm sorry I missed the deadline for Roll Call. I'm searching for info on the BLAKE family: Bessie Lee Blake, my gggrandmother was born 5/2/1874 in Barry Illinois. Her father was Albert Blake, born about 1817 in Maine. His wife was Elizabeth MOORE, I think, who was born in Missouri about 1852. They had another son, Edwin Blake, born about 1879 in Barry, Illinois. Albert Blake apparently had one or two other wives: One may have been Permilia, born about 1820 in Kentucky. Their children were: Mary, born about 1841 John, born about 1846 Joel, born about 1848 and Martha, born about 1849 All born in Barry, Illinois Other children (mother unknown) include: Ephram, 1854 Alexander, 1857 Luella, 1859 Thomas, 1862 and Charles, 1866 Most of this info came from the 1850 and 1880 Barry Township Census If anyone has more info, I'd like to hear from you.
