Grace, I should have also mentioned that Helen M. Boynton married George Bliss in 1850. That might help you find a marriage record, presumably in Walworth, NY. You might find that easily in a marriage index CD-ROM. Family Tree Maker/Broderbund Software have such CDs, which you can find in many genealogy retail websites.
