Research of Kevin Everingham of MI, 2013:
1848 Elizabeth is NOT mentioned in this N.Y. Supreme Court document. But her 2 kids and husband are listed... had she died by November 1848?
NOTE... A John Blake was born about 1849 in NY... he is listed in some records as the son of Alexander V. & Elizabeth M. Blake... if this was her son, she may have died in childbirth in late 1848... however, the 1850 Census below does not list a John age 1, so if this was correct, then he must have also died.
by 1850, Alex is widowed and mother-in-law Mary Everingham is living with them.
