Note:
Christian Bliem, the founder of the Bliem family in America, was born at New Manheim, Germany, December 25, 1711. He emigrated to America in the autumn of 1735, being one of the Huguenots who fled from Germany on account of religious persecution, He was married in his native country, and brought with him his wife and one child. For the first winter he made a dug-out, and afterwards built a house of logs, using an oak stump, probably dressed, for a table. He bought 150 Acres of land in Hanover Township, then a part of Philadelphia, (now Montgomery) county, near Pottstown, where he lived about 75 years. During the first months of his residence in America, while he yet had no permanent home, his wife and child remained with her brother, a Bechtel, who owned and lived on a farm, a part of which now belongs to the ___ estate (1904), and includes the Fegley farm (now owned by Furman Kepler) and the Mensch farm. The latter is now owned by the Ringing Rocks Electric Railway Company of Pottstown.

The latter is now owned by the Ringing Rocks Electric Railway Company of Pottstown.

Christian Bliem loaned a neighbor $800 in gold and silver before the Revolutionary war, and it was repaid in Continental money, which, of course, became useless after the war. He begged his neighbor to give him some small payments to offset the $800 saying that he would even be satisfied with a cow. However, he never obtained his request, and lost all the money. He attended Philadelphia market, carrying his produce on a pack-horse, and sometimes sold so much as ten dollars worth at at time. He grew wealthy, and purchased a farm for each of his sons, Daniel and Christian.

Christian Bliem and his wife had five children, four daughters and one son. One daughter married Jacob Hoch, of Chester County. Another daughter married Daniel Fretz, of Bucks County. A third married Jacob Oberholtzer, of Berks County, and the youngest daughter married a Strohm, who after Living on the old homestead for a number of years, removed to Canada.

Christian Bliem's wife died young, and was buried in the Sprogle burying ground, east of Pottstown, and now included within the borough limits. Christian Bliem died March 9, 1810, and was also buried in the Sprogle burying ground. This cemetery was donated by John Henry Sprogle, before the year 1700, and was to be used as a burying plot forever. The Bliems have always been connected with hit as trustees. The bodies of the Bliem ancestry have, however, all been removed to the cemetery adjoining the East Coventry Mennonite meeting house, the Sprogle ground having been surrounded by iron mills, and being very undesirable as a burying place. Sprogle, the donator, returned to Germany, but left two children buried there in 1714, and his wife Dorothea, buried in 716.

Christian Bliem had one brother in this country and several sisters. The brother settled in Bucks county, and died young,. He left two daughters and two sons, Daniel and Christian. They settled in Lancaster County and left families.
