Hi Barb - Have you encountered any Blakes in your research? My McFarlane lived in the
Elmsville, NB area from 1784 onward. I've been tying up some loose ends in my work and
encountered a death record for Elizabeth J. McFarlane who married a Charles F. (Fred)
Blake.
Fred Blake is listed 1851 St. Patrick Census in the household of David and Margaret M.
(Carmichael). Margaret was born in 1828 and was the daughter of David Carmichael. David
and Margaret Blake were the neighbors of Hugh McFarlane (son of Walter McFarlane and
Catherine Burns). Also living nearby was William Valentine and his wife Jane on lands
originally owned by the Carmichaels. These families were in Calais or Milltown, Maine by
1870.
I would be interested in comparing notes on these families. I'm trying to figure out
Jane Valentine's maiden name.
