I'm posting this query again for any new members of the Rockland List. Looking for information on, and parentage of, George BLAKE, born c1829 Prussia, died 21 Dec 1892 Rockland County. He emigrated to the U.S. in the 1840's, eventually residing in Rockland. 1865 NYS (Haverstraw) census states he was a naturalized citizen and tailor by trade; however, I can't locate his naturalization records in Rockland Co. Could he possibly have applied in NYC? George married c1852 Phebe JOHNSON (1830-1897). There was a John BLAKE family that arrived in NYS 8 May 1848 on the ship "Constitution" from Belfast, Ireland. Could these two families be related? An information would be appreciated. Joan Brooks Stony Point, NY
