Yes and no...... I have a lot of Thomas Blakes.... But none married to a Shannon...... will have to check things out closer... I doubt that I even have a 1870 census of Nicholas.... As my grandparents and great grandmothers gave me most of the info for that time frame..... Perhaps Jane would know who he belongs to...... thanks..

My Great Grandfather, Thomas Blake was listed in the 1870 Census for Nicholas County on Page 263 and later married to Mary SHANNON in Carlisle, KY in 1871. On this 1870 Census, there were three (3) other Thomas Blakes listed. Do this help? Ed C. in Florida
