BARNES
I am trying to find info on my grandmother, Rena Gray Barnes. She died
while giving birth to my father, Earl Barnes on August 22nd 1889, in
Eustis Florida. Lake county says there is no birth or death certificate
for either one, and I can't find her anywhere. My dad was put in an
orphanage in Louisville Ky. It was the Orphanage of the Good Shepherd,
but they don't give his parents names. It says they were both born in
Kentucky, but it also says my dad was too, which is incorrect. His
father's name may be Theodore or John, but I am not sure. In his
obituary I told them to put Theodore, so that is how it is listed in
some places, but it is information I gave them, and now I am not sure
of it. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. I have searched
for years to find some trace of her. Thank You,

BLAKE
I am looking for information for Harriet B Blake, Born 1836 died about
1884. She was the wife of Thomas Henry Blake and he owned a lot of land
close to the Umatilla Cemetery. They had 4 children and Thomas Henry
Blake married another woman Betty John Hollingsworth on Jun 3 1886
Umatilla, Orange County, Florida, USA. I am assuming something happened
to Harriet B just before the 1885 Florida Census. She is listed as the
wife in the 1880 US census but she is missing in the 1885 Census and
Thomas married again in 1886.
Harriet B Blake, Born 1836. I have found no information on this woman,
my ggGrand Mother, other than the 1880 US census.
