• Notes

  That John was born in England rests entirely on his estimated birth year of 1635. Other lists of children state a birth year of 1640 hence he would have been born in New England. John Bliss, the youngest of Widow Margaret's children [that came with her to Springfield], married Patience Burt, daughter of Henry and Eulalia Burt, October 7, 1667. The town granted him several pieces of land before he was married, as did also Northampton where his sister, Mary Parsons, resided. His homelot in [Northampton] was next north of his brother-in-law's, Joseph Parsons, and extended from the present Market Street on the west, to Bridge Street on the east, or in front of the cemetery. He resided in that town several years after marriage, but returned to Springfield and resided in that part of the town now within the limits of Longmeadow. He died November 4, 1702, and his widow October 2, 1732. [4]
