Wm. A. Blakely in Sullivan Co., TN.
My ggggrandfather, David Ivy Roberts (1830-1911,) was married several times.His last wife was supposedly Rachel Emaline Blakley, daughter of one William A. Blakley of Sullivan County, TN.According to the death certificate of Rachel Emaline Blakely, her parents were William A. and Polly Blakely.The 1860 census of Tennessee confirms William A. and Polly Blakley in the 13th District of Sullivan County, TN, dwelling number 363.Rachel E. Blakley is listed as being one year old at that time.William served in the Union Army during the Civil War, Company A, 4th Regt. of Tennessee Volunteers.He filed a pension application on 18 February 1898 in which he states he was married first to Mary Whitaker (who died in October 1866) and secondly Sarah Ann Hickman McLain on 1 April 1867. [According to Sullivan County records he and Sarah were actually marreid 20 May 1870.]Can anyone knowledgable about this family help me connect the family mentioned in this query with their correct branch of this family tree?I certainly appreciate any advice, direction or help.Many thanks, Russ Bralley, Bristol, Virginia
