Personal Information    |    Sources    |    Event Map    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Delbert Brent BLAKE 
    Born 29 Apr 1892  Big Isaac, Doddridge Co, WV Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3, 4] 
    • Birth date given in 1900 Census as Apr 1892, age 8, while his birth record shows it as Apr 29 1890, his mother's third child. But this puts the date in conflict with his older sister born in May 1890. Another record of this birth is on file showing his birth date as Apr 29 1893. His WW I draft registration and his death recors show his birth date as Apr 29 1893, while his WW II draft registration states Apr 29 1892.
    Gender Male 
    Census 1900  Southwest District, Doddridge Co, WV Find all individuals with events at this location 
    • He appears to have been enumerated twice in this Census, once with his parents and siblings, and again in Grant District in the household of his aunt Laura (McKeown) Waller, which also included Delbert's grandmother Emily (Cottrill) McKeown. His birth date was given as Apr 1892 in the former, but as Mar 1892 in the latter. Other discrepancies with his birth date include Apr 29 1893 in his death record and WW I draft registration, Apr 27 1892 in his WW II draft registration, and Apr 29 1890 in his Social Security application.
