General Notes: Husband - William Bloom
He was born in Germany, and emigrated to America at an uncertain time, reaching Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, in 1801. Previous to this he had been in the state of New Jersey, also in Penn's Valley, Centre County, Pennsylvania. During the Revolutionary War he served for some time in the ranks.
He came to Clearfield County alone, and settled on what later became known as the "Irvin farm," one mile up the river from Curwensville. Here he proceeded to make a clearing and succeeded in getting out a five-acre field of wheat and a few turnips, preparatory to bringing his family to the scene of operations.
He came to America during Colonial days and located in New Jersey. For six years he served under General Washington in the Revolutionary war, and on the close of that struggle returned to his New Jersey home, where he resided until 1795, when he moved with an ox-team to Centre County, Pennsylvania. In 1802, he came to Clearfield County, where he organized Pike township, and there reared his family of seven sons and three daughters.
He and his wife were born in New Jersey, and on coming to Pennsylvania located at the old fort in Centre County, whence they afterward removed to Pike township, Clearfield County, residing near the mouth of the river in 1801. Mr. Bloom developed a farm, and largely aided in opening up that region to civilization.
He was born in Germany and when he first came to the United States, settled in New Jersey and from there came to Centre County, Pennsylvania, afterward locating near Pee Wee Nest, in the vicinity of Curwensville. On account of another man laying claim to this land, William Bloom, who was a man of peace, decided to give it up and then moved to a place two miles south of Curwensville. This farm was later owned and occupied by his great-grandson, C. Judson Bloom.
