Where Blakely Plantation would be today



The owner


Blakely Plantation came into existence when Miles Blake came from North Carolina in 1826.[citation needed] Miles' wife, Susan Parish Blake, was 53 years old in 1860 and took over ownership sometime prior to 1860.[citation needed] Susan's son Joel Blake established Ingleside Plantation east of Blakely.


Isham, Walter, and Joel Blake, Susan's sons, served in the Civil War with Company K of the 5th Florida Infantry (see Leon County in the Civil War).


As of 1980, J. A. Cromartie, a Blake great-grandson, owned the poetry.



Notes
