Charles W Blake, born March 1890 in Illinois
Charles W Blake was born March 1890 in Illinois. He was the son of Wilson Lewis Blake and Annie Quisenberry Blake. His grandparents were Benjamin Franklin Blake (killed in Civil War) and Nancy Young Blake.
Charles' wife was Edna. They had a daughter, Virginia, born about 1916.
The 1910 census shows Charles living with his parents in St Louis, Mo. In 1920, he is married, living at 452 Compton Ave, St Louis, and is a salesman for a grocery co. In 1930 he lives at 4101 Virginia Ave, St Louis, and is an advertising salesman.
Charles had a sister, Nellie Blanche Blake, born July 10 1886, in Clinton co. Illinois. He also had a brother, Frank, born March 6, 1885, in Clinton co, Illinois. Frank died before 1900.
Nancy Young Blake, Charles' grandmother, married William Wilton after the death of her first husband. Nancy Young Blake Wilton is my great grandmother.
I would like very much to make contact with the descendants of Nancy and her first husband, Benjamin Franklin Blake.
Any help would be much appreciated.
