General Notes:
The author's 7th Great-Grandmother
Helen was a daughter of Willem Willemse VAN BARKELOO. The y moved to New Jersey, likely with Michael's parents. On 1 0 Jan 1740/1 John BLAW split his plantation in Montgomery Twp. of Somerset Co. and sold the east half to Michael. Michael had previously (20 Feb 1738/9) purchased 100 acres from Nicholas LAKE, which was adjacent to the 247.5 acres he received from his father. Beden's Brook runs easterly through the middle of this property and Michael built a mill on that stream near the west boundary of his property. Later , the "Great Road" was built to provide access to the mil l and the town of Blawenburg is believed by local historian s to have been named for Michael BLAW and/or his mill. Mich ael and Helen are buried in the Blue-Nevius Cemetery, whic h is located in the west half of John BLAW's plantation, th e part he sold to his son, Frederick. Michael's will was written 2 Sep 1782 and proved 26 Jan 1786 in Somerset Co.
