<DIV>Hi Denise,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Moses Aaron Blakely doesn't sound familiar, nor does Samuel. My Blakely's came out in 1846 and settled Brownsville. He named it for his uncle who came out with him. It may be that there is a tie there somewhere early on, but none that I know of. My James Blakely's left MO - and Virginia before that. I think his father was Charles. Let me know if any of this matches anything you have? Thanks, Midge</DIV></BODY></HTML>
