The great majority of the old pioneers in these volumes were plain, ordinary folks who made their Living by tilling the soil. Youll find a few doctors, lawyers, ministers, business-men in the books, also many who held public office, county officers, judges, legislators and congressmen. A few in the books were well-to-do for their day, and another few were just tenant-farmers. This Compiler does not classify people by their importance, and feels that each had some part in making our state arid section what it is today.
The first wife died two days after the birth of her fifth child. Mr. Blitch then married Charlotte Hurst, and they had one son, Henry Blitch, who was badly afflicted and died young. Mr. Blitch died testate, leaving a will dated Oct. 27, 1845, probated May 4, 1846 in Effingham County. Thomas and Moore Blitch were named by their father as executers of the will, and administered the estate.
