Thomas Blatchly was born in 1615 in Buntingford, Hertfordshire, England. He died in 1674 at the age of 59 in Boston, Massachusetts. Thomas Blatchley sailed from London to Boston in the "Hopewell" under Captain Babb, with his brother Samuel in 1635. The colonial records in New Haven, Connecticut furnish many facts regarding his history, his transactions in real estate in the early days of the colony, and the offices which he held in the community. He was at Hartford in 1640, and removed to New Haven in 1643. He took the oath of fidelity in 1644. He moved to Branford, Connecticut in 1645. There, and later in Guilford, he lived as a planter, and perhaps, a merchant. His business included marine haulage and the transport of cattle and other livestock for hire. In 1645 he encouraged the removal of others to Newark, New Jersey, where he may have made a short stay. On October 30, 1666 at Branford he signed the Fundamental Agreement relating to the Newark Settlement. He was one of a committee of 11 chosen at the first meeting at Newark to organize this settlement. He was elected a deputy to the General Court of Connecticut, May 9, 1667, and re-elected each session thereafter until October, 1672. In 1670 he was granted 60 acres of land for services in the Pequot War. In his latter days he resided at Guilford, Connecticut, Probably with one of his sons.
There is a family tradition that Thomas, in the latter years of his life, entered the profitable West Indies trade of the times and that his death occurred about 1674, on a ship about to sail from Boston on a trading venture. Parents: Thomas Blakesly?.

Albert Norman Bliss was born on 31 January 1851. He died on 27 July 1903 at the age of 52 in Calais, Vermont. "There is a rapidly growing belief among the neighbors of the late Albert Bliss of Marshfield, that Mr. Bliss' death was due to an accident, and not premeditated - as at first supposed, and as pronounced by the physicians at the autopsy. It will be remembered that on Monday last, the body of Mr. Bliss was found in the water tub, situated in the stable yard, by Lee Ketchum, the hired man, and the report at once spread that Mr. Bliss had committed suicide, and to this report the physicians making the autopsy agreed. Until the day of the funeral, no other theory was advanced, but at this time, something was discovered which gave rise to the idea of an accidental death.
"It is true that Mr. Bliss was subject to fits of despondency and that these attacks have been more frequent this spring that formerly. It is also true that during these attacks he sought seclusion, and that this habit had, to a small extent, caused anxiety to his family and friends, but it is also true that Mr. Bliss had never to the knowledge of any one made any threat, with regard to a suicidal death, nor is it believed by any one that he was at any time affected sufficiently enough to cause him to become a felodese. But on the day of the funeral, a large cut was noticed upon his nose, first by C. R. Dwinell, one of his neighbors, and one of the bearers at the funeral. He at once called the attention of other neighbors and friends to this fact, which had already been noticed by the family of the deceased - and being acquainted with the yard, tub and the arrangement of the tub, and the custom of Mr. Bliss each morning, it was at once concluded by them that death was due to an accident on the part of Mr. Bliss.
"It was the custom of Mr. Bliss to keep his milk cans in the water tub, which is circular in build, about five feet in diameter and two feet in depth, and each forenoon previous to going to his work in the field to place cans of new milk in the tub. Across the top of the tub, opposite the side approached by one in going to the tub, are placed two or three boards, and on measuring it was found that a person of Mr. Bliss' height, in leaning over the tub, might fall upon the board nearest him, striking the board about upon the nose, Mr. Bliss did not have any gash or cut upon his nose previous to his death, for he was seen by the family just before being found in the tub, and nothing of the sort was observed. It is impossible to conceive of any way in which he could have gotten the cut after being in the water. Consequently it is believed by Mr. Dwinell and others that Mr. Bliss was carrying his milk cans to the tub and on reaching up and over to place them in the water, lost his balance and fell striking his nose upon the board and thence into the water where he was found curled about the bottom of the tub.
"A few years ago Mr. Bliss fell out of a cart and hurt his head, and since then he has been subject to fits and it may be that at this particular time that he was taken with one of these fits just previous to falling, or as he struck the board, rendering him unconscious. Reasoning either way, it is safe to say that he was unconscious upon receiving the blow upon the nose, which rendered him unable to do anything for himself, afterward, in the way of getting out of the water. The blow upon the nose was a severe one, for a considerable amount of blood flowed from the cut, and the gash was no small one.
"Mr. Dwinell was seen by a Journal representative on Friday, and he goes so far as to state that he is confident that the death of Mr. Bliss was accidental and not at all premeditated or due to any rash act upon the part of the deceased. He further states that he is not alone in his belief, but this opinion he shares with many others including the family and friends, who saw the body of Mr. Bliss at some time during the interval between taking the body from the tub, and the burial. Mr. Dwinell further stated that, as a matter of fact, it could never be known precisely how Mr. Bliss met his death, as no one saw him approach the tub and no one saw how he got within its contents, but that those most interested in the man and best acquainted with him and the premises, are now resting assured of the fact that the death of Mr. Bliss last Monday forenoon was purely due to an accident on his part and was not a case of suicide. It is certainly more comforting for the family and all interested in the case to accept this cause of his death."

"David Bliss, Jr. was one of the earliest settlers and most successful farmers of Union County, Iowa, arriving there with his family in the spring of 1856. The 1860 federal Census shows that his real estate was valued at $3000 and his personal property at $2427, making him one of the five wealthiest farmers in Platte Township at that time. He was an educated man and taught school in Platte Township in 1856. He was appointed Postmaster of Union City (a town in Union County that no longer exists) in 1865. An interesting account of the family's trip from Mercer County, Pennsylvania to Jefferson County, Iowa and finally to Union County has been preserved by his granddaughter, Miss Ruth Madden of Creston, Iowa. It was recorded in about 1922 from the recollections of Leonora (Bliss) Madden, one of Mr. Bliss' daughters. An unedited selection follows: "We came up the canal on a tow boat from Mercer County, Pennsylvania to Wheeling, West Virginia, all but Edd Bliss (Charles Edward, who) was born later, four brothers and five girls. We came on a steam boat to St. Louis and from there to Keokuk (Iowa) and staid over night. Father got teamsters to take us to Fairfield to Uncle William's (William Pitkin, brother of Leonora Pitkin). We staid there two or three months (then) moved to Libertyville. Our grandfather (David Bliss, Sr.) was buried there. We lived there three years and then moved here (Union Co.) in the spring of '56. (We) came in covered wagons. We drove cattle, hogs, and sheep and we also brought the dog and cat. We had the chickens on the back of a wagon. We had a log house 20 or 24 ft. Our house was on the farm where Harry Woorsley lives. It wasn't finished when we got here. It was the first house in Union county this side of Afton that had board floor and shingle roof. The glass was 8 in. wide 10 in. long, 6 above and 6 below. Two beds down stairs and four up stairs." "

Horace was a farmer in Lincoln Township, Ringgold County, Iowa. He enlisted as a private September 17, 1861 at St. Joseph, Missouri in Company C Cavalry, attached to the 13th Missouri Volunteers, known as Berry's Battalion Cavalry. He was mustered out on January 31, 1862 and honorably discharged because of illness. Not long thereafter he went West and spent four years in the mines in Nevada and California. According to the recollections of his son, Ralph, he heard that California might cure his "ague" or malaria, with which he was afflicted during his short stint in the cavalry. He signed up with a wagon train that was organized in Missouri and drove an ox team over the Mormon trail through Nebraska and across southern Wyoming to Salt Lake City and then into Nevada and California. Like many of the adventurers who joined in the gold and silver rushes of the era, Mr. Bliss gained much experience but little wealth for his efforts. In a letter he wrote in 1865 from Austin, Nevada to his brother, William Henry Harrison Bliss in Iowa, he told of his experiences: "I shal stay here this summer and if times does not get better I shal leave if I sell for any thing worth while I will come home if not I will go to some new mining country. I do not feel like giving up making a stake after spending three years . . . I have learned something of human nature as the old saying is I have got my eye teeth cut. I do not concidder my time all together lost." Later that year or early the next, he removed to California. Late in 1866, Mr. Bliss finally returned home to Iowa, sailing by ship from San Francisco to the Panama Isthmus, walking and riding a mule across Panama and then sailing for New York. He became a farmer and stock raiser, first in Union County, Iowa, and then in Lincoln Township where he moved in 1874. In the later years of his life he made several trips to Colorado because of his failing health. He died on one of those trips. He was married in 1869 to Mary Ellen Day.
