Returned today to Hartford Connecticut and the state library. I had hoped to check the "Barbour" Collection for names and dates missing in my "Ancestral Record" book. I found practically nothing and half-way through the list realized that most of the names I knew came from printed genealogies and the authors had already gleaned all the information available in the Barbour Collections. . . . .

BLAKE FAMILY ÊPage 641-642

(Taken from a booklet Our Folks, by George M. Blake, Attorney at Law, Rockford, Ill.; pub. June 1, 1895.)

John Blake1, b. prob. Malden, England, about 1652, was the son of Capt. (???) and Elizabeth Blake, and a step-son of George Durant who married his widowed mother about 1660. John Blake came to New England with his parents, who must have come to America about 1660-61, when John was about 9 or 10. He died at Middletown, Conn., Nov. 11, 1690. His children were not baptized until after his death, which may indicate that he was a Churchman.

John Blake m. at Malden, Mass., in 1673, Sarah Hall3, da. Richard2 (John Hall1). She survived John Blake and m. (2) Edward Turner, Jr., by whom she had Abigail Turner, Oct. 11, 1694; Stephen Turner, Aug. 26, 169-; Sarah (Hall) Blake-Turner d. Dec. 16, 1726.
