He married a Tongan woman and had 11 children. Seven of these children had offspring and their descendants are spread throughout the Pacific and the world.

I am a Blake on the island Kingdom of Tonga and I am still trying to do research on the Blake who came to Tonga around 1837. Your newsletter is so interesting and I would like to read more about it.Gabe Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05453945274050160462noreply@blogger.com
