Made Some Progress in 2016: Hoping to Make More Discoveries in 2017

Happy Last Day of 2016! I made some progress over this year. I came across more family connections on my father's same. Most of the connections were through the DNA matches.

I believe that there are more cousins out there. They are searching to find more on their family history What will do they know, if they keep searching the leads that they have, they might find more if they don't give up.

I've learned that when I kept searching, I came across more clues to follow up on. It takes time to search from information. We can guess at things. But, things have to match up in the long run.

I hope that you have discovered more on your family connections. I hope that you can add more to your family tree. I'm thankful for those who have added more to family connections.

I thank God for those who are reaching out. And those who are interested in finding more connections through the DNA route.  I hope to find more family connections.

Thanks for reading.
God Bless you.S.A. Blakley

In Memory of Lawhorn "Doc" Blakey, Son Of Isaac and Rachel (Lephridge / Jackson) Blakey

I came across this news article in the late 1970's. It was the first written info I had on my dad's father's family history. I would wonder about each member in that article. I did come across info on most of them. I want to share what I've discovered on Lawhorn.

Here's what I've discovered about Lawhorn "Doc" Blakey.  The name Lawhorn is an unique name.  He knew a lot about animal. That's were he could have gotten the nick name "Doc".  He was born June 7, 1900 in  Missouri to Isaac and Rachel (LEPHRIDGE / JACKSON) BLAKEY.

It's not clear when  Lawhorn moved from Missouri and to South Dakota with some of his siblings. He was a laborer. He married his first wife, Mettie Holliday on June 6, 1924 in Yankton.

At some point, Doc moved to California with some of his brothers. He was believed to have married Evelyn Wilson on Dec 14, 1928 in Woodland, California. I haven't found any proof. I can't located a Dock Blakey on records in South Dakota. Lawhorn was listed in Yankton. I believe that this Dock Blakey and Doc Blakey were the same person.

On the 1928 city directory, Lawhorn was listed as a laborer. He lived at 2620 Sloat way with his brother, Archie and Archie's wife, Flora Blakey. Evelyn wasn't listed.

On the 1933 California city directory, Lawhorn was Listed with wife Roberta Blakey at 621 Q. Lawhorn was listed as a laborer. The year of their marriage is unknown. Lawhorn was listed with  Roberta on the city directories up to 1943.

On the 1944 city directory Lawhorn was listed living with sister, Edna Bentley at 1830 W St. Worked at Stevedore..

On the 1949 city directory he was listed with wife, Inez Blakey at 1821 3rd. The year of their marriage is unknown  1975 was the last directory listing Lawhorn with his wife Inez at 3424 7th Ave. Retired

According to one of Lawhorn's nieces. Lawhorn was a hunter. He had a lot of dogs.  Sometime after his wife, Inez's passing in 1974, his nephew Clarence Ollie Blakey cared for "Doc".

I did search old newpapers in California. I came across the announcement of Dock Blakey and Evelyn Wilson's marriage declaration in 1928. Also I came across an article about Lawhorn. He was cited for steal some gasoline. I don't know what the verdict was.
Lawhorn passed in Oct 17, 1977  Sacramento, California. He was the last of the Blakey siblings.
I don't  know if Lawhorn had any children. He was mostly buried in California.

Thanks for reading.
God bless you

Greeting! Twenty Seventeen!

Welcome to another New Year!  We have a fresh new beginning. Where will we start?

I plan to review some of what I've discovered over the years. I have a lot. Some things, I forgot that I have. There are things I have to update and make some corrections.

It takes time and a lot of patience to explore family history. We all have a story to share.
Know one knows your story as well as you do.  We have to want to share what we know about our ancestors.  I hope people will share.

I wish you the best of 2017.
If you haven't searched your search for your family history, I hope you do.
Start with what you know... asked family members what they know.
Family history is an adventure to journey through.
It's takes a lifetime to do.
And one person can't do it all.

Thanks for reading.
God Bless you.

In Memory of Archie T. Blakey, Youngest Son Of Isaac and Rachel (Lephridge / Jackson) Blakey

I came across this news article: Slavery Descendants To Have First Reunion in the late 1970's. It was the first written information I had on my dad's father's family history. I would wonder about each member in that article. I did come across info on most of them. 

I want to share what I've discovered on Archie T. Blakey. He was born on May 13 1904 in  Shannondale, Chariton County, Missouri. He was the youngest son of Isaac BLAKEY and Rachel (LEPHRIDGE / JACKSON) BLAKEY.

On the 1910 census:  Archie was listed with his parents Isaac and Rachel and his siblings Edna, Ollie and Lawhorn. It's not clear when Archie moved from Missouri and to South Dakota with some of his siblings. His father, Isaac passed in Dec of 1917. His brother Ollie became his guardian in Feb of 1918.

On the1920 census in Yankton, South Dakota, Archie was listed with brother, Ollie and Ollie's wife Margaret Blakey.  Source from newspaper in 1943, Archie lived in CA for 24 years. That would have been about 1919 or 1920.

On the 1925 ~ South Dakota Index  ~ Archie not listed

1927 ~   Listed as a Laborer in city directories with wife, Flora Blakey.

According to the 1930 census: Archie's  age at marriage was 22. (According to his death record, he was born in 1904. He married his first wife, Flora (LAWRENCE) BENTLEY BLAKEY around 1926 or 1927 most likely in California.

1928 ~    Listed as a laborer at 2620 Sloat way with Flora as wife.
1928 ~    Archie was listed by himself. He was a porter and a republic

1930 ~ Listed as a laborer at 2655 26th with Flora as wife.

1930 Census: 
Archie was 22 and Flora was 28 at time of marriage.
 As it reads on the 1930 census
Archie T. Blakeley25  Head
Flora E. Blakeley31  wife
Laura B. Blakeley9    daughter
Clarence O. Blakeley8    son
Verna M  Blakeley6     daughter
Archie T Jr. Blakeley 0     son

Archie and Flora were  divorced  / separated after 1930 - 1931. They were not listed as husband and wife on the 1931 city directory in CA.  (Also search some sources from the California, Voter Registrations, 1900-1968)

1931 ~ Listed as a Laborer at 2565 20th. Flora wasn't listed as his wife.

1932 ~ Listed at 4987 3rd Ave, City Garbage dept.

1933 ~  Listed as a laborer at 4091 8th Ave with wife Geniva. 

1934 ~ Resided at 2006 5th St. Listed as a garbage man. Geneva is not mentioned

1935 ~ Resided in Jackson, Amader, California.

1938 ~ Lived at 2774 43d with brother/ sister in law Lawhorn and Roberta Blakey.
Listed  as a Garbage man

On the 1940 census:
Archie was listed with wife Velma and her son, Robert Ellis at 207 South Broadway

1942 ~ He was listed at 1610 S 7th

1943 ~ Last listed at 1924 4th Street with wife Velma. He worked for the City waste removal dept.

I came across Archie's obituary in a California newspaper. "Archie was burned severely in an accident while cleaning on spark plugs on an automobile" in June of 1943. He was hospitalized for 5 months where he later passed on Thanksgiving Day, Nov 25, 1943. Archie was 39 years old. (According to the California death index his mother's maiden name was LEFTRIDGE.)
 
 I always wondered what happened to the California relatives. I believe that they had off springs. Archie was listed with children on the 1930 census. In his obituary, only his siblings Ollie Blakey,  Lawhorn Blakey, Mrs. Edna Bentley, Isaac Blakey, Henry Blakey, Spencer Blakey, Mrs. Mary Green and Jordan Blakey were listed. There was no mention of wife or children.

A few years ago, I was excited to come across some of Archie's, Jordan's and Flora's descendants. It's nice to contact with long lost relative that we didn't know excited.  One of  Archie's descendants said that he loved the rodeos Archie was buried in Odd Fellows Lawn Cemetery and Mausoleum  California.  Archie was my Grandfather, John's half brother.

Thanks for reading.
God Bless you.

Been Reviewing Some Info And Adding Updates To Family Connections

Welcome to September! Hope all is well with you. We're headed into the changing in the seasons.  Enjoy the transition. I hope all will have a wonderful September.

I've been reviewing some info and adding updates to family connections as much as I can. I've been slowing down on my research. I wish I could do more.

I've come across many 4th cousins or less DNA matches on ancestry.com  However, most of the matches don't have family trees. That's sad. I can't see the connections.

I hope to do as much reviewing info and searching as I can. There comes a time on my journey when I have to let go and pick up when I have the time to return. I plan to continue with my search.

I pray that people would want to know where their ancestors came from.
I pray that people will search and find more on what they are searching for.
May the LORD connect those who really want to reach out to those who are searching.
Amen.

On The Family Connections: Remembrance of Birth Dates and Death Dates: I know that there are more. I haven't recorded or know of as the time of this posting. I hope to discover more. Keeping our Family Connections alive. May God Bless you.

Thanks for reading.

John And Jennie (Bartlett) Blakley: The Two Became One: But, What Were Their Surnames When They married?

My father's parents, John and Jennie Blakley were married on July 28, 1902 in Excelsior Springs, Clay County in Missouri. However, it wasn't until the latter part of May of 2009 when I solved this family mystery. But, once I stumbled across this info, it led me to more questions.

I always thought that my Grandpa John's surname was BLAKLEY.  But, through the years, I found out it was BLAKEY. However, on the marriage record it was spelled BLAKYE. As for my Grandma Jennie, her surname was BARTLETT, but it was spelled BARTEL on the record.  I could assume that the E and the Y were turned around for BLAKEY. But for Bartel, it makes me wonder.

According to this record, John was from Carrolton, Carroll County Missouri. Jennie was listed from St. Joseph, Buchanan County Missouri. I can assume that John married with the Blakey surname. But, the mystery remains. Why did John change his name to BLAKLEY?

I searched the birth records of the BLAKLEY or BLAKEY children born in St. Joseph MO. Out of all the children listed there were two with the BLAKEY surname and the others were BLAKLEY. The surname was changed after John and Jennie married July of 1902. I can't pin point the year.

As for the BLAKLEY surname: The story goes that there were a lot of John BLAKEYs relatives. Perhaps there was confusion and was one of the reason why my Grandfather John changed his last name. John's descendants carried the surname of BLAKLEY.

Whatever the case may have been, the surname was changed from Blakey to Blakley. My father and his siblings were taught to spell our surname the way I spell mine. My name has been established. I have no reason to change the spelling now.

But, still I wonder about my Grandma Jennie's surname on the marriage license. Could the family surname had been Bartle? Or was it changed to Bartlett?  This marriage record was the only record with that spelling. This remains a mystery.

My Grandfather full name was John BLAKEY / BLAKLEY Sr.  When he passed in 1918, his siblings recorded John's surname as BLAKEY. My Grandmother's full name was Jennie BARTLETT  BLAKEY / BLAKLEY LYLE. She passed with the surname LYLE.

Thanks for reading.
God Bless you.
