Hi, If you are still looking for Robert Blakely, I can be of help to you. Bob was my paternal grandmother's first cousin which makes me his first cousin, twice removed. His mother, Mary Jane Downey Blakely and my great-grandmother, Eliza Ann Downey Rixon were sisters. Bob emigrated to San Francisco via New York where he had other Downey relatives living. I knew Bob growing up...his family, the Rixons, and my McDonald family were all very close. If you would like to know more about him, please let me know. Are you related to him?
Hope to hear from you.
