The following article is considered the "jumping-off point" for most Blakesley/Blakeslee research:
"Samuel Blakesley of New Haven, Conn., and His Descendants," by James Shepard, Esq., of New Britain, Conn. The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume LVI, July 1902, pages 277 thru 289.
Note there were a few errors and ommissions in the original text:
1. The original Samuel's son Ebenezer is not designated as "#4" amongst his list of children, but is subsequently treated as such.
2. Ebenezer Blakesley (#4) was baptized in 1666, NOT 1668.
3. Samuel Blakesley (#7) died in 1753, NOT 1653.
4. The birth year 1673 given for Jemima Tuttle, wife of Ebenezer Blakesley (#10iii) is impossible!
