"The date of ancestor John Blaney's death is unknown. He was alive on June 17, 1709, as evidenced by a deposition signed by him on that date and recorded in Essex Deeds, Bk. 21, Fol. 82. His son John is described as 'Junr." in a deed to him, dated April 18, 1713, recorded in Essex Deeds, Bk. 31, Fol. 200; but in a deed from him dated Jan. 6,1714-15, recorded in Essex Deeds, Bk. 27, Fol. 119, he is described as 'Senr."(he, too, having a son John) and his father as 'John Blaney, senr. decd." It would therefore seem that ancestor John Blaney died between April 18, 1713, and Jan. 6, 1714-15."
