| | Notes: | Frances Taylor “Clary” Chitty, instilled this “Green Legend” in her children and their descen¬dants remain committed adamantly to it. But it is not true.
| | Notes: | Clary’s family is descended from a daughter of Sir Walter Blake, the 6th Baronet of Menlough, County Galway, Ireland, and the Chittys passed this aristocratic distinction down proudly for five generations. But the Irish Blakes are on Clary’s maternal side, not on her husband Thomas Kincaid Blake, Jr.’s paternal side of the same name! No blarney. Their sons and daughters confused the two lines because Clary did not explain the difference.
