    3. Looking for information on George Abraham Blum, born August 12, 1820 to Johann David Blum and Sarah Hege in Forsyth County. Married Elisabeth (or Elizabeth) Potts. Had 3 children, Sarah, Lewis and Calvin Nathaniel who was born <1875 in Reidsville? The information I need is what happened to George Abraham. I know he was given about 100+/- acres of land in/near Davie County by his brother. During the Civil War, since he was a Moravian, he took his family to Indiana (county unknown) and he left the land in care of his sister, Charlotte (listed in some places as Susanna Charlotte) who married a Smith. They failed to pay the taxes on it and when George Abraham returned with his wife and children, he found himself to be a pauper. The last census I can find him in is the 1860 Davie County Census. I would like to know where he is buried if possible plus any additional information you may have on this family line. Thanks! Liz Blum Brummond Blum-Potts-Howard-Hege-Fleming-Parham
