H.W. Blake-Ella Porter Blake, SC to Tampa,FL, late 1800's
Seeking Information on the family of H.W. Blake and Ella Porter who were married in Richburg, Chester Co., SC in Feb., 1884.Ella Porter Blake was the daughter of Rev. John Alexander Porter and Alvina Carrie Bernheim of South Carolina.
One of Ella Blake's sisters, Emma Porter, also married an E.C. Blake.I am uncertain as to whether these men were related but I would suspect it.Hoping someone can tell me.
H.W. Blake died in Tampa, FL sometime around 1896.Ella Blake later remarried (a man named E. O. Johnson).She died in Tampa in 1955 at 92 years of age.
I am descended from Ella Blake's half-brother, James S. Porter. and would like to know, among other things, whether H.W. and Ella Blake had children and what became of them, what caused Mr. Blake's early death, etc. etc.
Hoping someone knows this family and can fill me in.Thanks
Robert Brackett
