BLAKE:

I am looking for info on the decendents of MATTHEW CLARK BLAKE. He was born May 01,1853 in Danby/Melbourne Quebec. Son of George Thompson Blake and Ann Eliza Clark. I'm not sure when he moved to Aberdeen, but I have post cards, and photos. He married Martha Poe, Nov.22,1882, family notes do not say where. Thier children were; Leslie, Alfred, Agnes, Cora, Ernest, Minnie, and Jennie. I have no birth dates on these children, just a photo. One of the post cards is post marked April 28, 1908. The post card is of a Light House, Westport, Wash. and on the back Matthew states that this light is four miles from where he lives. Another missing BLAKE, is HENRY BLAKE, son of JAMES and SOPHIA GILPIN BLAKE. Henry is uncle to MATTHEW (above). Henry moved to Washington to be with his son, either Edward or Leighton BLAKE. Henry died March 1913. It appears from records I have obtained, that the BLAKE'S were Free Will Baptist's. I have info to share,and would be happy to.

BURNS:

I am in desperate need of information about a great-uncle that moved from Tennessee to the Hoquiam area in early 1900s. His name was Robert Burns (b. 1881 - d. 1925) and he is buried in Humptulips Cemetery. His wife, Mary E. (b. 1883 - d. 1966) is also buried there. An adjacent grave is listed as Oscar Leo Burns (b. 1917 - d. 1971), and I would guess that he was a son of Robert and Mary. I would like to have a copy of the 1920 Census listing this family, if possible. Also, any other information such as death records, Obituaries, survivors, etc. would be helpful. I will reimburse the cost of obtaining records, and a reasonable fee for someone's time in obtaining them for me. A brother of Robert's, Andrew Burns also may have been in this area in 1920. I could also use any information that might be available about him. Only last month did I find out for sure where this family is buried, thanks to a gentleman from Tacoma whom I have been corresponding with via e-mail.
