For anyone interested in the descendents of Leonard Biddleman of Warren Co., NJ, I post the following biography of August F. Bliesenick found in the 1880 History of Poweshiek County, Iowa, p. 711. The specific descendent of Leonard was his daughter, Levina, referred to in the text.
BLIESENICK, AUGUST F.--Section 3, P.O. Deep River. His ancestors were all Germans. His father was born in Prussia,about 1796, was a weaver, and died about 1867. August was one of nine children, and born eight miles north of Berlin, Prussia, Aug 8, 1827. He crossed the Atlantic in 1854, and after being in New York City one year, went to Pennsylvania, where he remained nearly three years, when he moved to Ohio, and worked at his trade, tailoring, in Cleveland, until September 1864, when he emigrated to his present place, which he bought in 1861. He married, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, February 12, 1857, Levina Biddleman, of Pittson, Pennsylvania, who was born in Warren County, New Jersey, May 24, 1820. The result of their marriage has been as follows: Augusta E. (born January 21, 1858), Leonard (born November 29, 1859, deceased), Romelia J. (born September 28, 1861) and George R. (b. May 25, 1863). Mr. B. owns 104 acres of good land, including ten acres of timber, and he is an honest, unassuming gentleman, and hard-working farmer.
I am a descendent of the eldest daughter of this couple, Augusta Elizabeth, and will share information with anyone desirous of following up on this line.
