  • Notes 
    • "Jonathan Bliss rose to prominence in the town of Rehoboth. He was chosen several times for positions of trust within the community and also as overseer to the execution of the wills of many friends and relatives. He lived on the east side of the Palmer River and contrary to popular beliefs did not in 1666 construct the house in North Rehoboth which now stands on Agricultural Ave." (Genealogy of the Bliss Family, p 35)
