Blakey Family Record
This is a four-page family record of the Blakey family originally
of Virginia. The dates end in the 1840s and I believe that is when
this was written.
I believe this was a copy of family Bible entries copied for
the
purpose of applying for a Revolutionary War pension. The document
may havebeen compiled for that same purpose, if a Bible did not exist.
Families were required to provide proof of dates of birth and marriages
and relationships, and family Bible entries were the most common form
of providing this proof before government offices began recording that
information. I see many family record documents around this time
frame presumably for this purpose -- it would also explain why no
deaths were recorded. They were not needed -- no dead people
would ever inherit rights to George's pension.
Of interest -- this family gave a couple women the name "George"
as
first or middle names. Well -- I guess they could have been giving men
"Margarett" or "Sally" as a first name or "Ann"
as a middle name. I
don't recall seeing that before.
Please view the scans before using this material, as some of
the spelling
can be open to interpretation.
