There are 4 marriages listed under JD Blake in Arkansas/Louisiana between 1920 and 1941. As follows:
Date of Marriage Age of JD Year born Spouse Location 1920 29 1891 Julia Snyder Algoa, AR 1930 31 1899 Chloe Alexander Shreveport, LA 1938 30 1908 Ollie Light Redfield, AR 1941 50 1891 Marie McGee Craighead, AR
It was originally thought that is was the same JD Blake, but that remains uncertain. The JD Blake of this profile died in 1996, so it seems unlikely that he was born as early as 1891 (but not impossible). The marriage locations of the JD Blake born in 1891 are Algoa and Craighead - within 50 km of each other. The marriage locations of the 1899-1901 JD Blake are Redfield, AR, and Shreveport, LA. These places are far away from the more northerly Algoa/Craighead. Accordingly they MAY represent two different people. Also, according to a family source, JD was not known for his truthfulness.
