Surnames: Blessington Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YWC.2ACI/2174.2244.2.1 Message Board Post: I have a line of Blessingtons that I am researching in Delaware. I have John, James and Michael all coming in the 1839 time frame. In the 1840's I have what appear to be two sisters Rosanne and Maria coming to the Delaware area. I know that James and Michael left Ireland in 1839 but I do not know what county. Do any Blessingtons have this line in their family in Ireland. I do know that Michael left Delaware and moved to Iowa where another (longford) Blessington branch seems to be from. Are they all connected?
