• Notes

  Conrad Bloss imm.from Germany 21 September 1742. Settled in Heidelberg Township, Northampton County, PA. One of the founders of the Heidelberg Reformed Church. Owned most of the land between the church and the Lehigh River. Married Anna Magdalena Daubenspeck. Revolutionary War at 57 yrs of age, killed in the Battle of Long Island 1776 (Pa. archives-5th series-Vol 8, Page 26, 1st Bat. of Associators, Co., Northampton, Pa., Capt. Nicholas Kern Aug. 6th, 1776.) September 21, 1742: Immigrated to America from Rotterdam on the ship "Francis and Elizabeth" (George North, Master) that arrived in Philadelphia, PA. He resided in Heidelberg, PA. as a farmer. Colonial records indicate he owned 25 acres of land in Bucks Co., PA at the time of 1750. He enlisted in Captain Nicholas Kern's Company. August 27, 1776: Killed in the Battle of Long Island, NY in battle of the Revolutionary War -- Served under George Washington (War Records - PA Archives Vol 8, Series 5th pg. 26)" from letter David T. Blose to Ruth Smith dated September 1, 1954. He was about 50 years of age at the time of his death. "When Conrad was leaving Germany for America, he traveled down the Rhine river. Each Castel along the river placed a passage toll on travelers. Conrad spent all his money just getting down the Rhine river. He came to America with no money." From SAR Applicaton for Daniel Justin Lynn: "On August 6th, 1776, Conrad Bloss was a private in the Third Co., 1st Battalion of the Northampton County Associators, Capt. Nicholas Kern's Compnay, then in camp at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, which composed a part of the Fying Camp of Ten Thousand Men, commanded by Col. Hart in the Battle of Long Island. It is history that most of the men of the 1st Battalion were either killed or wounded in that memorable engagement with the British on August 27th, 1776. Doubtless Conrad Bloss lost his life in this battle as we find no trace of him after that date. His wife, Anna Magdalena, appears as a widow in the Heidelberg Reformed Church Records of 1781 when she acted as sponsor for her granddaughter of the same name, a child of John George Bloss, the eldest son of Conrad."
