Dear Scott,
I hope after all this time, you receive this.
I'm descended through a female line of the Blakes of Menlough (Menlo), & am
dabbling in this intriguing family tree.
I do know that Cadell/Caddell/Caddel is a Welsh Royal name given to one of the 8 sons of
King Rhodri Mawr; and he, in turn was the father, of King Hywel Dda (800s ).
Richard's nickname was Niger meaning Black, due to his complexion - and through that
the name Blake derived..
Outside this, I am completely ignorant.
Sally Scott.
