28 Jan 1823 is date given in the Blakey book for this marriage. Logan Co Deed Book M does have a deed on p.410 dated 6 Sep 1824 in which Ann H. Blakey is listed as wife of Thomas Blakey and relinquishes dower. The marriage listed as 2 Dec 1824 in the Marriage Book from Logan Co - perhaps the minister's return was late.

Thomas served as magistrate and as sheriff of Logan Co. He lived and died on the homestead near Shakertown, Logan Co. Biographical Cyclopedia of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, by John M. Gresham, 1896, p.373
[This reference has errors. It states the homestead was that of the Blakeys, but it was not - it was the homestead of William Haden. The bio also states that Thomas died in 1842 at age 63. Instead he died in 1856 at age 61, according to his grave marker. His father was the one who died in 1842.]

Buried in Auburn Cemetery, Auburn, Logan County KY
