1890s, had a son, James Douglas BLACKIE, (also, descendants unknown);
Hettie died several months after James' birth. David immigrated
to Cleveland, married a Margaret JONES of Akron in 1906, and the
next 34 years is a blank regarding David's life, until his death
in '40, which I just discovered a few days ago. If there are descendants,

the most striking features is ceilings in the entry hall and dining
room that are very ornately painted, artist unknown. We were told

which would be Mr. Groves. James Groves died on May 13, 1932 at

two daughters. We would like to locate any descendants who may
still be in the San Diego area and see if they can help us identify
