Biography

John was born in 1671. He was the son of Richard Blizzard. He passed away in 1708.

In 1705, John Blizard was listed among many Somerset residents indebted to the estate of John Edgar. Edgar was probably a merchant who was a middleman in the tobacco trade.[1]

An appraisal of John Blizard's estate was filed in May 1710. He died in debt, as this note is included with the appraisal: “I the subscriber one of the principall creditors doe approve of the within appraisement witness my hand – George Howard {his mark}."

At the time of his death, his estate was valued at over £60. It included “one little French Servant boy” who was probably indentured.
