JEREMIAH LADD BLAKE
Born in Orange, New Hampshire, Nov. 18, 1833; when he was still quite young his parents, John and Ruth LADD BLAKE, moved to Pittsfield, N.H., which was his father’s native town. It was here and in the adjoining town of Epsom that Jeremiah learned the saddler’s trade. He was of English descent, the great great grandson of Joshua BLAKE of Hampston Falls, New Hampshire, whose ancestor is said to have been named Jasper BLAKE who came from England in 1650.
On July 6, 1852, Jeremiah sailed from New York City on the steamer “Prometheus”, which arrived in California August 2, 1852. After several days in San Francisco, he went to Petaluma in Sonoma County where he engaged in the lumber business. In March of 1853, he went to Tomales Bay, took up land and built a cabin which served as a combined dwelling and saddle factory. He began farming in 1854, and began planting fruit trees in 1856. In 1860 he visited his old home in the East, traveling by steamer via the Isthmus. In 1862 he bought 177 acres. He manufactured saddles until 1866, then farmed and engaged in the dairy business. He made a second trip back East in 1866, and on October 2, 1866 he married Miss Frances Moore of Tomales in Petaluma, Sonoma County; she was born in May, 1846, in Michigan.
Children were born to them:
Edward Everett, July 30, 1867
Jeremiah Burton, November 17, 1868
Mary Elizabeth, September 10, 1870; married W. M. KinneyFayette Tylor, May 12, 1872
Charles Sumner, October 1, 1874
Henry Halleck, June 2, 1876
Blanche Moore, September 23, 1878; married Mr. Peterson and then Mr. Warden Jasper Eastman, August 15, 1880 in Tomales; died August 19, 1880
Arthur LADD, born and died November 14, 1882
In addition to farming and dairying in Tomales, he purchased 160 acres of land in Sonoma County which he felt would be good for the cultivation of grapes.
On December 19, 1908, Jeremiah LADD BLAKE died at Blakes Landing, Tomales, California at the age of 75. He was buried in Mt. Tamalpais Cemetery, San Rafael. Frances Matilda Moore BLAKE died Tuesday, August 6, 1929 in Cottage Hospital and was also interred in Mt. Tamalpais Cemetery.
