Lucinda Blake, born abt 1817, married Abel Bliss, lived Will Co., IL
I have a set of original old Cabinet Portrait photos of Abel Sr. and Lucinda (Blake) Bliss, which I would like to return to family members. On the back of the photo of Abel is stated his dates: born Feb 9, 1810 - died Dec 25, 1883. Photo of Abel appears to have been taken about 1882 or 1883, as he looks to be early 70s. Photo of Lucinda looks to have been taken same time, or a bit later.
1860, 1870, 1880 censuses (at least) show the family living in New Lenox (Will Co.) IL, with Lucinda's age indicating she was born about 1817. Their children: Mary, William, Maria, Ellen, Josephine, Abel Jr., Alice P.
