General Notes: Husband - Joseph Blakeley


His father was a brother of Commodore Johnston Blakely, of the United States navy, and emigrated from Ireland to Chester County, Pennsylvania, before the revolutionary war, and was killed at the battle of Brandywine.

He removed from Chester County, Pennsylvania, to the "Forks of Yough" in 1790, and engaged in distilling, but owing to the disturbance known as the Whisky Boy Insurrection, he removed to what is now Forward township, Butler County, in the latter part of the 1700s.

A native of Ireland, he removed to Forward township, Butler County from Allegheny County in 1796, bringing his family with him. His wife died there about 1838, and himself twenty years later.

He was a Quaker, and died in that faith.
