Location of the Blakely Plantation and Ingleside PlantationWhere Blakely Plantation would be today
Blakely was bounded on the east by Ingleside Plantation and on the west by what is today County Road 59 (Veterans Memorial Drive). Blakely's northern boundary would now be Cypress Landing Road and to the south it would have bounded by the streets of Leland Circle and Indigo Lane.
The farm was founded by Miles Blake, who came from North Carolina in 1826.[citation needed] After Miles died, his wife Susan Parish Blake took over ownership. The 1850 tax roll for Leon County lists Susan Blake as owning 800 acres and enslaving 51 people.[1]
Sometime before 1860, Susan's son Joel Blake established Ingleside Plantation just east of Blakely.
The Leon County Florida 1860 Agricultural Census shows that the Blakely Plantation had the following:
