Do you find any Blaker's in your family? My g grandfather was William Smith Blaker. His father Enoch Blaker. WS Blaker had a brother named Pierson. I can't help but wonder since many of the names are repeated. I am having trouble finding Enoch's parent's names. Only know he was born in 1818 in PA and lived there until after 1846. Then to OH 1850 census. Then to IOWA 1860 census. Then to KA 1870 census. Would appreciate any help. Donna Blaker Regan djoregan@aol.com

Donna, there were 2 SMITH Quaker families in Bucks Co: Robert SMITH + Phebe CANBY in Buckingham William SMITH + (1) Mary CROASDALE and + (2) Mary ??? in Wrightstown I descend from each too many times, and in each family I have the BLAKER name, but I don't have the ones you are looking for. But I would suggest trying to get ahold of the microfilms for Buckingham and Wrightstown Monthly Meetings, as I am sure there may be references to your family in one of these. The migration path you mention sounds typical of some of my Quaker cousins who left Bucks Co in that time period. Good luck!
