Catherine/Katie M Blily

Prkr314_1 — 2012-02-12 02:20:33Z

Could be spelled Bleile,Blile,Bliley,or Blily. She was born Mar. 1868 and married John H Parker on Aug 6,1891 in Toledo,Ohio. They may have resided in Huron Co. then Sandusky Co. Ohio in 1900. Found a document that shows a Catherine,born to Barney and Catharine Blile on Mar.25,1868. Does anybody know of this family or can verify? In the 1930 census she lists as being born in Ohio and her parents are from Baden,Germany.

My GG Grandmother Virginia Tribble Chockley (1830-1909) was living with the George Bliley family between 1901 & 1909.
She was born in Amherst County Va and was living in Madison Heights Va until about 1901. Her husband W L chockley was living with a son in Roanoke Va when he died in 1906. She applied for a Confederate pension after her husband died and said that she was livin with a George Bliley on West Main St Richmond, Va.
Does anyone know how are they connected or was she a boarder?

Thank you so much for the Obit on Sebastian, now that I have a unit it will be much easier to look up his records. I have a good friend in the Stuttgart area and he will go look them up. When we have them I'll post them.

I know only what you have. My g-grandmother was a daughter of Royal and his first wife Katherine Gross.

Thank you for the obituary of Sebastian Bliley. My great-grandmother who was a descendant of Sebastian Bliley married John Hirt who was a descendant of Michel Hirt. Said Michel was also a soldier of Napoleon's Imperial Guard according to George Hirt who contributes to this Message board. As both families were from the same place in Germany and settled in the same area, there were several marriages back and forth over the generations here and in Germany. One of Michel's sons claimed his birthplace as Germany and the other France; probably according to who was in charge of the area at the time.

Titusville Morning Herald, Titusville, PA
Tuesday, August 20, 1872
DEATH OF ONE OF NAPOLEON'S OLD GUARD.
Green Township, this county, yesterday witnessed the largest funeral it has seen for years, the burial of Sebastian Bleile, nearly seventy-nine years of age, an old soldier who fought under Napoleon and witnessed the burning of Moscow. Sebastian Bleile was born at Krotzingen, Baden, Germany, and went as one of the Baden Contingent, 3d Regiment, Co. 1. He was very tall and well built, and was placed in the first company of the famous "Old Guard," serving in many engagements, accompanying Napoleon to Russia and taking the long winter march back, after the burning of Moscow. He fought at Leipzig, but was not at Waterloo. After six years service under the Emperor, he went back to Germany to live, and about thirty-five years ago packed up his little worldly possessions and started for America, a much greater undertaking in those days than at the present time. He came to this county and located in the "Beach Woods," Greene township, where he raised a large family of stalwart sons. Eighteen years ago he was paralyzed, and he has been bed-ridden ever since. Ten years ago his wife died, and he has since resided at the home of his son Ferdinand. Although the old man had lost the use of his limbs, his brain appeared to be unclouded, and he loved to talk to visitors, recounting, when the subject was broached, his experiences under Napoleon, whom he revered and loved with an enthusiasm that never abated. - Erie Dispatch.

Bleile / Baumann of Bad Krozingen

2005-11-01 09:16:30Z

Hello to all,
I've just found the following:

-Mathias Bleile m. Margaretha Baumann 24 Sep 1780 in Krozingen (they were actually the parents of Andreas and Sebastian Bleile who moved to America in 1834

- parents of Margaretha Baumann were Andreas Baumann of Schlatt and Catharina KEPPEL of Gündlingen, Baden

- Andreas Baumann and Catharina Keppel m. 5 Feb 1754 in Schlatt, St. Sebastian. IGI marriage record says that Catharina Keppel was b. in 1732

Has anyone on this board verified info on this marriage? I have researched the parish records of Gündlingen (which is only abt 10 miles west of Krozingen), and have a Catharina Käppele who was born 2 Dez 1732. She's the only person who fits in.

I am related to the Käppeles of Gündlingen.

Best to you all

Andreas in Karlsruhe, Baden

Lyle, I am still catching up on the Bliley board. Rose Bliley married William N. Hirt and their daughter Grace married Howard C. Slagter. Their oldest son William Andrew was my father. Thank you so much for your reply even if it took me so long to get to a little computer time and acknowledge your response. If you are still doing work on the Bliley's my email is lradke@mwci.net. I live in northwest Illinois so have rarely gotten back to Erie, but I would like to see postings as the Bliley reunions kept up. Mayhap I can make one.

LoreLRadke — 2005-06-12 16:42:06Z

I have been out of the ancestry loop for a couple of years. Was glad to see all the entries since then. I found Royal Bliley on the Special Schedule - Surviving Soldiers, Sailors and Marines and Widows, etc.Royal enlisted in the Navy July 1864 and was discharged July 25, 1865. He served on the Steamer Delaware as a Landsman (essentially the lowest Navy rating a beginner). The Delaware served on the James River, in the Hampton Roads area and on Chesapeake while Royal was serving on board. This info is in www.uscg.mil/hq/g-cp/history/WEBCUTTERS/Delaware_1865.html.
Thanks Hunter, Lyle Bishop, Sue Yosten for your input.

C_Sallam — 2005-04-06 17:36:49Z

Dear Dottie and Carol,

As your last posting is almost 2 years old, I am not sure that you are still interested in the BLEYLE research. I am now researching the last name. You both mentioned many BLEYLE's who are in my family tree. John Michael BLEYLE was my GGgrandfather, brother of Louis, Albert, August, Julia & Anna, son of John and Julia.

My grandmother was Dorothy BLEYLE Killingbeck and my Great grandfather was John Phillip BLEYLE (son of John Michael BLEYLE and Rose Walter) who moved to Sardinia, NY in 1930's. He was born in Kenmore.

The gravestone of Sebastian Bliley is in the photos of the Blileys and Jostens buried in St. Boniface Cemetery, Erie County, PA posted on my Bliley Family History site at http://www.bliley.net/family/St_Boniface_Cemetery/index.html.

I hope to soon post some photos of the family of Charles A. and Mary Jane Mead Bliley family dated 1862 and 1897. Andreas Bleile, Charles's father may be buried in this cemetery, but I have not yet determined that to be true. There is a Bliley headstone with plenty of vacant space surrounding it. I am trying to determine who is part of that family plot.

I have just started to research the "Plyley" family history.
My great grandmother Magdalene (Sauer) married George Plyley Jr. Oct 8 1866 The name was changed shortly after their marriage from Bleile to Plyley and they lived in Aldborough Township ,near Rodney Ontario Canada. Do you have a George Bleile Jr. born Oct 16 1842 died Mar. 10 1912.
I do know they came from what was called High Austrian which I think was part of Germany??? Please advise. Thanks.

I'll see what we can find, I have gotten my older cousin interested in searching Cemeteries and we plan on doing some while I'm up in the Erie area for the Bliley Family Reunion. I'll check to see if there is anything in the Union City Public Library site, they have started posting marriages/births and deaths from the paper. I don't recall seeing Royals name but will recheck.

Re: Bliley Family Reunion, Erie, Pa

tazzama60 — 2004-06-09 01:05:46Z

I'll be glad to post some info as to who came and anything interesting that came up. It is planned to have a reunion every year about the same time so maybe next year more folks could plan on attending.

Re: Erie Blileys

tazzama60 — 2004-05-31 00:51:29Z

Hunter, Here is what I have on Royal Bliley, 8th child of Sebastian & Magdalena Gredler Bliley (Bleile)

Royal Bliley (Jan 1845-1921) married first to Catherine Gross (1848-1880) and had 6 children, Clara, George (b. Nov 1869), Celia, Rose, Elizabeth and Mary. Married second to Mary Cosgrove (1849-1936) and had 5 children, Sarah (12/17/1882-4/6/1903), Ella (b. Mar 1884), Anna (b. Dec 1886), Gertrude (b. Jan 1889) and Roy C. (b. Oct 1891).

Ella died 4/10/1952, married Frank Mosier.
Anna died 10/30/1972, married Fred Goetz
Gertrude died 6/19/1966, married Boyd Smith
Roy C. married Irene Smith

I'll have to do some checking on the Reinhold/Royal spellings, my wife (who is German) says the way people hear Reinhold might have changed to Royal. I have information on the children before the second marriage also.

Thanks, Lyle

Hi Lore, I have just received some information about a "Royal Bliley" from a Causgrove/Cosgrove relative. Have you any further information about these family members?....

"...MARY CAUSGROVE(COSGROVE) (1849-1936) married Royal or Reinhold Bliley (1845-1943) at St. Boniface's (Erie County, PA) on Nov. 4, 1880. They had four children:
1. Ella, 1884-1952;
2. Anne, 1886-1973;
3. Gertrude, ____-1965;
4. Royal, born 1891.
Mary Causgrove(Cosgrove)'s birth date is listed as Aug. 17, 1849 in the marriage register. Royal Bliley's name is given as Reinhold Bliley in the will of Philip Causgrove(Cosgrove) Sr., and as Reinhold Bleile in the register of marriages at St. Boniface's. Bleile apparently reflects the pastor's preference for the German spelling...."
