My Eccleston Line

Eliza Eccleston was born 14 Feb 1822 in Preston, Chenango, New York, died 8 Sep 1887 in Wilet, Cortland, New York. She married Joshua Bliss who was married 29 Apr 1818 in Preston, Chenango, New York and died 17 Jun 1883 in Willet, Cortland, New York.

They Had five Children:
Mary Jane Bliss
George Washington Bliss
Rudolph Bliss
William N Bliss
Delos Bliss


I imagine Eliza my 4th Great-Grandmother wearing the following fashions which were popular in the 1820's

 

 

I can see my Great Grandmother sitting in a rocker sewing a hole in a sock dressed like this.

Looking at the fashions of the era your ancestor lived helps to see how they may have looked.
