William Newton Blake married Elizabeth Withrow Wier of Greenwood, SC, where they lived and died, having twelve children, all of whom except one married and reared families. They constitute an eminently respectable and large connection in the community of Greenwood.

William Newton was the second son and the only child who remained in Greenwood. His home was on the east side of Spring Street and when the house was dismantled in 1967, a two-story log cabin was found as the core of the house. That cabin was acquired by the Greenwood County Historical Society. It may have been built by Andrew Logan the original settler. They had 11 children to live to maturity.
