Blakely Family History
This interesting surname is both English and Scottish, although the Scottish nameholders almost certainly have the same origin. It is locational from the various villages called Blackley, Blakeley, and Blackley, in the counties of Lancashire and the former West Riding of Yorkshire. The place name and hence the later surname, derive from the pre 7th century Old English words "bloec", meaning black or dark, plus "leah", a wood or sometimes a clearing in a wood. The village name is first recorded as "Blakeley" in the charters for Lancashire known as the "Inquisitions post mortem" for the year 1282.Select Audience

Preston Blakeley
I am Preston Lee Blakeley. I am interested in your family who settled in Allegheny County, PA because my most distant known relative settled there as well. I have found documents saying on the Forks of Yough. There is a lack of information regarding my ancestor, I've read everything from "he died at the battle of brandywine" to "he is the brother of captain Johnston Blakeley of the WASP"
