Many of the children of Pablo went to Davao, Mindanao for hope of a better livelihood. During the 1930's, etc. Mindanao was not inhabited very much, opened for settlement and many went with high hopes.
All dad recalls now is that Juan died after the liberation of the Philippines, abt 1945.

According to the National Blue Family Association website;
Upon the death of his father in 1791, Michael Blue received title to half of Lot 31 on the South Branch of the Potomac River (see page ii). He also received from his father an undivided fourth part of the "new survey" adjoining Lots 27 and 30. In 1793 he purchased 400 acres in Hampshire Co. on the "drains of Little Capecaphon (Cacapon), the next valley to the east of Romney. He sold these 400 acres in 1812 to William Powell.
The name of Michael Blue appears in the Court Minute Book of Hampshire Co. several times during the 1790's. In the 1795-8 book, page 52, it is recorded that Michael Blue and five others were fined $8 each for failing to attend as jurors. On page 55, it is recorded that Michael and Garret Blue sued their brother, John, for trespass and asked his ejectment from land they inherited from John Blue (1.1.1). This appears to be a boundary dispute between Lots 30 and 31. On page 207 of the same minute book, a judgment is entered in favor of Michael and Garret. John was fined one cent plus court costs, but gave notice of his intent to appeal to the district court at Winchester, VA. In the 1798-9 minute book, page 45, it is recorded that John and Michael Blue were awarded damages to compensate for the opening of the road from Frankfort to Romney, which "is proposed to pass through their lands".
In 1815, Michael Blue Sr . purchased land in Hampshire Co., VA, from William Lease (Lees), his son-in-law, who was probably in financial trouble at that time. Ten years later, he sold this land, 400 acres on Castleman's Run (now Fox Run, located on the west side of the South Branch), to his grandson, Ephraim Herriott (Lease's step-son). William Lease was not well liked by Michael, for in his will Michael Sr. cut off his daughter, Elizabeth Lease (William's wife), by bequeathing her $1, "considering it useless to give her more, which would be liable to be wasted and run through by her husband William Leese with whom she intermarried against my will and whose conduct and management of her estate since, has not been economical nor judicious but the contrary".
Between April 1819 and April 1820, Michael and Mary moved to Fayette Co., Ohio, following his half-brother Peter and his brother John's children. In 1812, their son Michael Blue, Jr., had migrated to Fairfield Co., a few miles to the northeast. On 17 April 1820, Michael Blue, Sr., purchased land in Fayette Co. from Solomon Bower, amounting to 396.5 acres "after deducting therefrom the Town of Bloomingburg", and five lots in Bloomingburg. He later bought another lot in that town from Moses Still.
In 1823, Michael Blue Sr. sold his interest in Lot 31 on the South Branch in Hampshire Co. and his fourth part of the new survey to John Innskeep.
According to Miller's "History of Fairfield Co.", Michael Sr. accumulated a fortune in his lifetime "all in gold and silver", and this, before he died, he distributed to his children. In addition, a considerable amount of land was distributed to his heirs in his will when he died in 1827.
Michael and Mary Blue's family Bible still exists, and it is in the possession of Dr. Keith Blue of Longmont, CO. A copy of the Bible record is on microfilm at the LDS Library in Salt Lake City.
