I am seeking information about the heritage of Etti Esperanza Gabay, whose father was David Antoine Gabay, born in Hamburg, Germany in 1832. Her mother was Sarah Lawton Blackburn, born in Poughkeepsie, NY to Joseph and Elizabeth Blackburn.

David Gabay came to New York City from Havana, Cuba in the 1840s. NYC directories list him as "cegars". There was also an Isaac and a Samuel Gabay listed. Isaac was also "cegars", Samuel, "merchant".

David went to work for McKesson Robbins in 1877 where he became head of the sponge department and worked there until his death in 1905.

Esperanza Gabay was an artist and a teacher, living in New York City until she moved to the Berkshires in Massachusetts in 1927. She died there in 1963.

I am looking for any and all information regarding the Gabay and Blackburn surnames that would be links to my Gabay.

The Gabays that I have found, namely David, Sarah, their children Arthur, Charlotte and Esperanza were of the Episcopal faith and are all buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn
