No Blisses at Belstone

tombliss_1 — 7 May 2007 11:59:25 GMT

I am repeating this message which was added to another thread some time ago so that those seeking information about 'Thomas Blisse of Belstone and his family' are assured that Bliss FHS denial of this false genealogy is based on recent experienced research in the records of Belstone parish in England.

This item from BLISS, the magazine of the Bliss FHS, December 2007 dispels lingering beliefs that the Bliss family ever lived at Belstone.

"Dear Mr. Bliss,
I have checked the original parish register of Belstone (REF:PR1 1552-1664) for any Bliss entries prior to 1638. I found no relevant entries of baptism, marriages or burial. However, there were a number of Ellis entries and E is very similar to B in Elizabethan secretary hand. This may be why confusion has arisen.
I hope that this information is useful to you, please do not hesitate to contact us again if we can be of any further assistance

Elizabeth Bliss Arnold Family in Marysville, CA in the 1850s

knrivers — 11 Aug 2008 3:32:30 GMT

Hello,

I have been researching my 4th great grandparents, Josiah Arnold and Elizabeth Bliss. I'm planning to write a book about Elizabeth's amazing life. She, Josiah and their two sons, Orson Pratt and Joseph Smith Arnold are listed as "Tavern Keepers" in the United States 1850 "Placerville and Vicinity" Census. I've spent years trying to determine the name and specific location of the tavern and believe I have finally found it! :-)

Based on the California Historical Society Quarterly, vol 14, page 394: "The Beginnings of Marysville" by Earl Ramey:
"These hostelries had been established on Second, Third and 'D' streets... smaller hotels... the National House run by... Arnold and Scott.

So, I'm looking for any information, stories, photos, drawings, basically: anything relating to the Arnold family and/or the National House. I know that the family left Salt Lake for Marysville on 7 May 1850 and that Josiah died in Salt Lake 1 Sep 1859 so they could only have been in Marysville between 1850 and 1859.

I'm hoping to learn about Elizabeth's life in Marysville and also where she died and was buried. The rest of her family made it back to Salt Lake City and were buried together there.

I feel a strong pull to discover where Elizabeth died and where she is buried so that I can honor her life by marking the site with a tombstone. It makes me feel really sad at the prospect of her being alone and in a potentially unmarked grave.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Any help you can provide will be unendingly appreciated!!!

If you were not the best person to ask this of, would you please forward this message to anyone you feel may have additional photos, drawings, information and/or stories? If you would prefer to discuss this by phone, my number is (408) 888-0757.

Thank you, again,

Looking for Relatives of John Bliss, Actor (b 1931)

MPearson — 9 Mar 2008 12:38:04 GMT

I'm looking for ancestry/relatives of John (W?) Bliss, born about 1931 (Illinois?). I know he lived in Peoria, Illinois as a child; Florida; New York; Europe (or traveled there); and California. I am especially interested in finding his heritage, as he had many stories to tell that were very interesting.

His parents were stage actors, and he began acting as a small child. But, they rarely told their occupation to anyone, since it was looked down upon in those days.

John performed on stage, film, and television.

He was once married (but I think only shortly), and may have been married in New York?

He was once a coat check boy at Club 21 in New York City, while he acted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

However, Samuel's Revolutionary War Pension application dated 6 March 1821 says he is "now single". Betsey can be found living in Compton 1851 with husband James Griffin. Philetus' death record lists his parents as Samuel Bliss and Betsey Wallace. Who is the Samuel who m. Betsey Wallace and had a son Philetus?

Help Finding Records for DAR Application

knrivers — 31 Oct 2007 12:01:41 GMT

Hi,

Will you please help me to find records to "prove" my descent from my 6th great grandfather (who was a soldier in the American Revolutionary War) to complete my application for the Daughters of the American Revolution?

Specifically, I'm looking for birth records for:
Israel Bliss b. 17 Apr 1739 in Lebanon, CT (my 6th great grandfather)
David Bliss b. 1769 in Lebanon, CT (my 5th great grandfather)
Elizabeth Bliss b. 21 Oct 1798 in Lebanon, CT (my 4th great grandmother)

and marriage records for:
Israel Bliss and Mary Stiles (abt. 1760 likely in the New Haven 2nd Church) in Lebanon, CT
David Bliss and Elizabeth Johnson m. 24 Feb 1796 (New Haven 2nd Church) in Lebanon, CT

I have put in a formal request of the Lebanon Town Clerk but I have been waiting for over 4 months for my own state (California) to get back to me (on a death certificate of my Elizabeth Bliss) and I'm really excited to prove these last few connections and get my application completed.

Does anyone have any other suggestions: websites, books to check, CD-Roms or other databases you may have access to or that I could gain access to to complete this quest?

Thank you very much,
Kristin Rivers

Elizabeth Bliss Arnold's Burial Site

knrivers — 18 Jul 2007 3:42:46 GMT

Hi,

I am looking for the grave of my 4th great grandmother, Elizabeth Bliss Arnold and any photos, stories or information you may have on her family.

Elizabeth Bliss was born 21 Oct 1799 in CT to David Bliss and Elizabeth Johnson. She married Josiah Arnold in about 1831 in NY.

Josiah Arnold is listed on the 1850 US Census in Placerville with the occupation of "Tavern Keeper." They had three children before 1850: Orson Pratt, Margaret Elizabeth (who died as an infant in NY) and Caroline. They had one more son after 1850, Joseph Smith Arnold (who is buried in UT).

The LDS book, Pioneer Women of Faith and Fortitude, suggests that when Elizabeth chose to marry Josiah (a Mormon), she was disowned and that all contact ended between she and her family (of origin). Elizabeth and Josiah crossed the plains with Brigham Young in 1848 and ended up continuing on to Placerville in California (as indicated by the 1850 Census).

Elizabeth Bliss Arnold died on 7 Sep 1859 in Placerville, CA. I ordered a death certificate but then discovered that the records were destroyed by a fire in 1911 . :-(

So, any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Thank you, again,
Kristin Rivers

BLISS/CRAIG CONNECTION

Samuel Bliss

CalvinCraig93 — 20 Sep 2006 7:11:22 GMT

Does anyone have any data regarding the daughter of Lieut. SAMUEL BLISS. Her name was Mary HARWOOD BLISS, b. 8 Feb, l783 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She and her mother, Mary Harwood and Samuel Bliss, b. 19 Nov. 1750, Concord, MA, settled at Bliss Island, St. George Parish, New Brunswick, following the American Revolutionary War. Samuel was formerly of Greenfield, MA and was a son of Daniel BLISS, b. l715 in Springfield, MA, and had a brother Daniel BLISS and numerous siblings, John, Thomas T., John, and Joseph; also sisters Phebe, Hannah, and Martha. He died here at St. George in 1803.
Samuel served with the 84th Regiment, Royal HIghland Emigrants, a Loyalist Unit that served in the Maritime Provinces, Quebec, and in the Southern theatre at Charleston, Savannah, Wilmington, Moncks Corner, Eutaw Springs & New York. He was paymaster at Moncks Corner and at one brief time, led a small calvary unit attached to other British groups in l781 or thereabouts. He served in Col. John SMALL's Company.
My interest in Sam Bliss is varied; but includes my family member, Pvt. John CRAIG, who settled with Bliss and others at St. Georges, NS (later to become New Brunswick) in 1784. Sam's daughter, Mary, married a Deacon HEWES, at or near Boston. She and her mother returned to the Boston area after Sam's death. There MAY have been another daughter, possibly Martha.

I will be happy to share any information I have.
Thank you, Cal Craig, Bonny River, NB Canada

PennyEves1 — 28 Sep 2006 3:52:10 GMT

Just to let you know that the website for the parish of Preston Capes (which includes Little Preston) includes some information on the BLISS family in the genealogy section.

There is also a virtual tour of the village (but not, unfortunately, including Little Preston!). The house occupied by the BLISS family (father John, and sons George and Thomas who emigrated to America in 1638) still stands in Little Preston and is now called "Wayside" - although often referred to as "The Bliss House" by locals. If anyone would like a photograph, please let me know.

Washington A Bliss Broom Co,NY>Brule Co,SD

chuck8401 — 16 Nov 2006 7:44:44 GMT

I am looking for the ancestors and living relatives of Washington A. Bliss married to Mary Jane Darling (1834-1910). Washington's mother was Electra (1812-1896) who later remarried with a Rockwell. Washington brought his family from Broome County, New York to Brule County, South Dakota in the 1850-1870's. Electra later joined the Bliss's in Brule County around 1889 and died in Grandview Township, the family home. Washington and Mary Jane had 5 children: Cora (1862-1946), Adelmer D. (Arthur 1855-1888), Delmer (?-1892 or 1894), George (1859-1926), Elmer.

George married Susanna Klein (1860-1956) and had one son Frank Herbert (1893-1955)

Elmer married Edna Smith of Nebraska

Cora married Emanuel Conrad Otto and had 4 sons: George (1889-1967), Harrison (Harry 1892-1980), Irving (1896-?), Raymond (1901-1976). Raymond is my grandfather.

In the 1890-1910's the Bliss holdings passed into the hands of Cora and Emanuel and later Harrison, their son until the 1950's. By the 1940's the Bliss home and farm buildings were no longer to be seen, except on old plat maps.

Wis First Lady - Helen M. Bliss Davidson, 1860-1919

MayorJoe — 18 Mar 2006 10:11:06 GMT

From "First Ladies of Wisconsin - The Governors' Wives", by Nancy Greenwood Williams, I find Helen M. Bliss Davidson, born June 1860 in Kickapoo, Vernon Co; parents Albert Parker Bliss and Elsie M. Baker. She married James Ole Davidson, February 21, 1883, Readstown, Vernon Co. Her parents came from New York state to Wisconsin around 1860. They had three children --- Helen M, William and Lorena – all born in the Kickapoo Valley. When Helen met James O. Davidson, he already had established himself as owner of a general store and mill in Soldiers Grove (Crawford Co).
In 1902, Mr Davidson was elected lieutenant governor under Robert M. LaFollette. In 1904 he was re-elected; and when LaFollette resigned to become U.S. Senator, Davidson became acting governor, He was re-elected governor and served two more terms until 1911.
Helen & James Davidson had two daughters, Mabel Elsie & Grace. The younger daughter, Grace, was a popular member of Madison society, but she died of pneumonia in 1914 at the age of only twenty-two. Mabel, the older daughter, was married in the executive residence, on East Gilman St, in 1907 to Fred M. Inbusch, who died two years later. Mabel remarried circa 1921 to state supreme court Judge Theodore G. Lewis.
Helen Bliss Davidson had developed a weak heart in later years. She had been convalescing in Jacksonville, Florida, and had just begun her return trip to Madison with her daughter, Mabel, when she was stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage and died in 1919. Governor Davidson’s death from pneumonia followed three years later, and both were buried in Forest Hill Cemetery in Madison, WI.

Does anyone have more information on Albert Parker & Elsie M. (Baker) Bliss?

Bliss, and Piispanen - Worcester MA

I am trying to find any information I can on Jessie Bliss Piispanen. She was the wife/widow of Lauri Piispanen.
Lauri had been born on Dec 25, 1909, in Quincy Ma and died October 2 1958 in Worcester Ma. Lauri, was the son of
Willaim and Elsie/Elsa Piispanen, and the brother of
Arne Piispanen of Willimatic CT, Alfred of E Braintree Ma?
Walter Piispanen of Worcester, and Auni (Piispanen)Bishop. of Niatic CT(wife/widow of Art-Arthur Bishop). Besides his wife Jessie and 3 brothers, and sister he (Lauri)left a son James of Worcester and at time of death his parents were still living too.
I just learned Jessie existance today, so don't really know anything about her. Who were her parents, where and when born, died? any siblings? etc.
If while searching this you find anything about Lauri, his 3 brothers, or sister Auni Bishop that too would be very much appreciated. (Who did they marry, any children, etc)
Lauri Piispanen's father William was my grandmother(Sylvia Maria Piispanen Nelson's )brother. They were both born in Kivijarvi Finland William(Wilho or Vilheim-1883) and Sylvia in Feb 17, 1888.
Thank you so much for any help
