Nathan Purse BLISS, b 1812 Western New York, m HAINES
I have really run into a brick wall. I am looking for information on Nathan Purse BLISS. I have not been able to locate his parents or siblings. He was born 4 June 1812 in Western NY (possibly Genesee, Chautauqua, or Cattaraugus), and to add to the confusion the 1930 Federal census for his dau Amanda says Vermont, he died 5 Dec 1886 in Oakdale, Antelope County, NE. He is suppose to have left NY in abt 1829 and went west to LaPorte, Indiana. Married Aberillah HAINES 16 Apr 1843 in LaPorte. 8 children:
