  • Name George L Blessing 
    Born Abt 1820  Maryland Find all individuals with events at this location  [1
    Gender Male 
    Died Yes, date unknown 
    Notes 

    • I am assuming Michael is George's father since he is the only other Blessing in Mason co, and he is there in 1840 and George is the right age to be the 'other' son. Could be wrong, since there are a number of Blessing families in MD.
