Surnames: Blackaby Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4AB.2ACI/309.2.1 Message Board Post: Lavania, I have Silas Blackaby of Henry County, Kentucky and his siblings, parents, grandparents, etc and photos of Silas and even a letter from him and I can get you back to England. My book is WE BOAST OF THE NAME OF BLACKERBY, BLACKABY, BLACKORBY. Best of all, I have a photo of the father of Silas and a photo of the grandparents of Silas. The photo of his grandparents is really awesome as a professional photographer did the reproduction work. The photo of his father has some damage to it, but actually I think that just gives the photo character. They men seem to have dark eyes and dark hair. I did not know that Silas had ever lived in Illinois.
