Fifth Generation (Continued)
Family of Elizabeth BASFORD (35) & John BLAKE
80. Jonathan BLAKE (Elizabeth BASFORD4, Joseph3, James2, Jacob1). Born on 1 Aug 1780 in Weare, NH. [323], [322] Jonathan died in prob. Miltonboro, VT, on 5 Aug 1854. [322], [317] age 74 at death per gravestone. Buried in Miltonboro Cemetery, Milton, VT. [323], [299]
[324] indicates that Jonathan married a Sally Basford. I am assuming that this is the Sally (Basford) Blake mentioned in the will of Benjamin Basford of Georgia, VT. [314] A John Blake witnessed that will; could this be the father of Jonathan?
He bought land in Milton, VT from his brother-in-law David Basford on 11 Jan 1812 [564] and 2 Apr 1814. [566]

They might be the parents of J. D. Madison Blake, who died 28 Feb 1827, age 15 years 7 months, and is buried near to their graves in the Miltonboro Cemetery. [584]

82. Eliza BLAKE (Elizabeth BASFORD4, Joseph3, James2, Jacob1). Born on 26 Oct 1784 in Weare, NH. [323], [322] Eliza died in Belmont, NY, on 21 Aug 1861. [490] aka: Betty, Betsey.
Died at the home of her son-in-law Fletcher Dunham. [490]
Her obituary gives age as 78 years 10 months 13 days, which would correspond to a birth date of abt 8 Oct 1782. [490] This is a little inconsistent with the birthdate of 26 Oct 1784 given elsewhere, [19] and would also conflict with the birth of Eliza’s brother Jesse.
One set of notes gives birth as 1790. [19]
