In your message, you skipped a generation. You stated who your Gmother is but not who your parents are. Please fill in the missing generation. Thanks!

The information is available from the LDS. Search their records for Blitch, Bloxham b. 1873 in Levy Florida.

Re: Ellender Blitch of Marion Co. Fla.

paparkinson47 — 2009-02-09 14:40:32Z

Ellender is buried at North Prong as Ellender Chism. I do not have a photo of her tombstone yet so the spelling of her name may be different. She was born in 1831 to James & Mahala (Tyson) Blitch. She died 12 Apr 1875. First married Wm Sterling Fish in 1847 in Marion County FL and second Aaron Chism. Wm & Ellender had 4 children according to my info. Aaron & Ellender had Robert. There are several men named Chism buried in North Prong that have headstones, but none named Aaron. Perhaps someone has a cemetery survey book done years ago that would hold more info.

Re: Ellender Blitch of Marion Co. Fla.

Nitestalker0033 — 2009-02-08 23:39:41Z

Saw your post asking for info on Ellender Blitch. I am a decendant of her and think I have found her buried in North Prong under the name of Howard. I do not know if you have the same info or what you have. I am very interested in obtaining as much info on her as I can. My roost come from when she left William and married Aaron Chism. I am also looking for any information of Aaron Chism as I can not find him. Anything you have would help. Thanks

BLITCH REUNION 2009

jblitch1957 — 2008-06-19 16:36:14Z

Dear Family:

Travel seems to be a major issue when it comes to getting together to plan for the Blitch Family Reunion. It's understandable that there are those who live in other states and that getting to Georgia for a planning meeting is kind of difficult. With gas the way it is these
days, I can totally understand. However, when I put together a date and place for our first meeting, I tried to ensure that participation would be abundant. But, I was proven wrong... when even trying to
place the meeting in a city such as Atlanta where we'd all have to travel (instead of everyone traveling to me or to someone else, etc). So, the next step I believe I should take is the following....

We can meet together still on June 21st, but instead we'll make this an "online meeting." I have found us a meeting place online and it's in a "chatroom" format.

The site is

http://www.chatzy.com/518415555191 and I'm sure we'll all find it user friendly and appropriate for our needs. I believe a time that would be most beneficial for complete participation is around 7 p.m. EST. Please, speak up if you believe this time is not going to work for you! I cannot plan this meeting by myself, nor with only Jimmy's help. If we have it in our minds that the participation we are willing to put forth is attending the reunion and that is all, then this reunion will never be. Please, go to the site listed above and sign up so you can participate in this meeting. This isn't much to ask. No charge! Only a little time together to figure some things out.

Also, I have sent out over 150 snail mail letter about the reunion and invites to join the group. These letters were only sent to people with the last name of BLITCH. If you have any others drop me an email with the names and I will send them a letter also. As I stated above I can not do this all by myself. I have had several letters or emails
come back as unknown or no forwarding address. Please help me in getting more people interested in our group... without the help of each and every single one of you, we will get nowhere; and I'm hoping that we go far!

Thank you all for your understanding.

I have no idea how to put a search engine on there but I can try to figure it out. As far as Elijah Blitch(Gen3) all I have is the Book that was given to me of that part of the tree. And as I say I had other folks sending me information. I will look to double check in my books to see If I do have anything on him.
Thank you Janet

Ok I am a BLITCH family memeber and have been researching the BLITCH FAMILY for about 15 yrs now and I have this web site with lots of information. If there is something not on here that you need an answer to just drop me a note and I will see if I have it in one of my many books that I have not got on the site yet. As anyone knows there is never an end to research on the family history...So this site will always be under construction...And do remember I am not perfect so there may be some mistakes. But do understand I have not been in this alone there have been several people to add and send me stuff. I recieved a package from Cher back in May and I am now getting around to scanning the pictures and stuff to put on the site....
Mark it and keep checking for any updates.
Thank you

Re: Blitch/Hodges

paparkinson47 — 2007-05-13 14:04:15Z

According to my information, Ann Blitch married William Henry Hodges in 1799 in Effingham County GA. Together they had 7 children. Elizabeth died in 1815 and William married Hannah Colson 11 Mar 1827 Tatnall County GA. Together they had 4 children.

Re: Blitch/Hodges

graphicvkd — 2007-05-12 02:15:14Z

Thanks Sylvia for the information.

Did the info you found about Mary in Baker County specifically relate her to Wright? The reason I mention this is that I seem to remember another Kersey in the next generation of Kerseys also being married to a Mary in the Baker County/South Georgia area. I'll have to look at my notes on that.

As for the shooting, I guess anything's possible. It could have been Wright. I wouldn't be surprised if it was him. What year did it say he was shot? I may be able to find something more about the incident.

I also found them in 1860 census in the Traders Hill area of Charlton County, but have been unable to verify where Wright died and is buried. I've dug thru online cemetary records in that area but have had no luck. Any help on that would be great. The census had them listed as Kinsey.

Thanks again for the info. I'll keep digging. Please keep me updated and I'll do the same. Happy hunting!

Re: Blitch/Hodges

sylviahatcher — 2007-05-11 18:34:45Z

Vickie, From some info I found in Baker Co. it states that Mary was possibly a Bird. It also stated that a Kersey was shot near the Altamaha River in Ga. After I found Wright and Mary in 1860 in Charlton. Co. GA. I wonder if he was the unlicky Kersey.

Re: Blitch/Hodges

graphicvkd — 2007-02-26 05:10:43Z

Hi Sylvia, We've corresponded before, but I didn't realize that you are related to me thru General Morgan Kersey and Sarah Ann Garrett. Sarah was Morgan's first wife and died in the yellow fever epidemic of 1888 and is buried in Baker County Florida. He then married Darcus Norman of Bradford County Florida in the early 1890s and had several more children with her. General Morgan is my Great Grandfather. His son General Lee Kersey is my Grandfather and his son Robert Cecil Kersey is my father. All three are buried in Dyal Cemetary in Bradford County Florida where I grew up.

I'm still looking for information on General Morgan's father Wright and mother Mary. Any new clues you can share?

I hope to hear from you soon!

Re: Findley Blitch in Georgia

Diana_Hunnicutt — 2006-11-25 21:59:12Z

The 1900 census shows Finley Blitch as a boarder in Buck Pond, Marion County, Florida. He was 23 years old at that time. The 1880 census shows a Jesse F. F. Blitch, son of Ferney W. and Harriett L. Blitch, in Staffords Pond, Levy County, Florida. The 1885 Florida census shows the same boy listed as Jesse.
