Hi Cousin Phil,
My mother's maternal grandfather was Edward Baker Blaine, the youngest son of William
Barr Blaine and Rachel Nye. I recently found a portrait of her, which I can email to you
if you'd like.
A while back I found online a cemetery in Cumberland Co. Pennsylvania filled with Blaines
and Barrs. I was pretty excited, and intended to research it further, but got distracted
by other things. I'm pretty sure I saved the links and took some notes. I don't
have the info with me right now, but can dig into it on my home computer tonight.
Have you checked out the "Maxwell History and Genealogy" yet? It says James
Blaine had the nickname "King Jimmy" because he had been in Leesburg from the
beginning of the town. I had to chuckle at that.
Would love to see what clippings you have on the Blaines.
Here's my email so you and I can exchange attachments, etc.

Any idea why the family name is listed sometimes with the "e" at the end, but
other times not?
