Clarence E. & Bessie (King) Blessing, Philadelphia, PA.
Seeking information and/or contact w/ descendants of Clarence E. BLESSING, b. Oct 1875/76 & Bessie King BLESSING, b. 27May1877, m. 30Dec1897.
Clarence was the 2nd of 5 children & eldest son of Milton (poss. John Milton or J. Milton) & Sarah BLESSING of Lower Windsor, York County, PA.
Children of Clarence & Bessie, I believe, are: Paul Cleason BLESSING (died young, before 1910 Census), Lillian A. BLESSING b. abt 1899 & Charles M. BLESSING b. abt 1901/2.
I believe Lillian married Thomas Larson, b. abt 1891 in S. Dakota. They had 1 son: Theodore. Do not know if Theodore married or had offspring.
I believe Charles married Betty Warner, from PA, abt 1926. Their children might be: Margaret Elizabeth BLESSING, b. abt 1927, Paul Olesson BLESSING, & 1 other living BLESSING - first name unknown.
If you recognize the above and/or are descended from Clarence & Bessie then WE ARE RELATED. Bessie was my pat. gf's sister, 1 of 8 children of George Milton KING & Jennie Elzabeth (Boose) KING of York County, PA. My gf was their youngest son & 6th child: Cleason George KING. Have found 1 other Cleason KING from PA who I believe is ggr Uncle, but not yet confirmed. Both given names of Cleason & Milton, whether 1st or middle, run in both families. My father: Donald Milton KING, only child of Cleason G. KING & Euretta (Dodson).
Objective: would like to confirm I've connected my Bessie to the correct Blessing husband AND get in contact with living "cousins" I've never met. As my father was an only child, he didn't discuss his family much, especially the fact that he'd had 7 aunts & uncles, nor their children. He passed away 6 yrs ago come the 27th this month; so have no way to review/discuss anecdotal family information. Am working on a comphrehensive family tree to include as many offshots from both father's & mother's family lines; that is spouses, children & descendants/ancestors linked to both sides. May contact me directly at: [email protected] or leave response at this forum.
Many thanks,
Wendy A, King
