I am searching for parents of HANNAH ZEIGLER born abt 1800 in MD (probably Frederick
County) and married to HENRY BLESSING in Washington County, MD on April 19, 1818. She died
between 1850 & 1860, Boonsboro District. They had 3 children I know of but there could
be more. MARY E. BLESSING born abt 1827, JOHN H. BLESSING born Sep 18, 1828 and died Dec
9, 1888 in Mount Carroll, IL and ANN C. BLESSING born abt 1831.
I am also searching for the parents of HENRY BLESSING, born Jan 9, 1794 in MD (probably
Washington or Frederick County) and died July 7, 1871 in Mount Carroll, IL.
HENRY BLESSING remarried after the death of his 1st wife to ANN MARIA ________, b abt 1819
in PA and died Feb 10, 1900 in Carroll County, IL. HENRY BLESSING and his 2nd wife had 2
children, EMMA J. BLESSING, born abt 1858 and GEORGE BLESSING, born abt March 1860.
HENRY BLESSING and his son JOHN H. BLESSING, moved both of their families around 1869 to
