Biography
John was born in 1759. He passed away in 1848.
John Blood, son of Caleb and Hannah, was born in Groton, Massachusetts, on 6 September 1759. John Blood, son of Oliver and Sarah, was born in Groton, Massachusetts, on 10 November 1759.[1] These two boys were first cousins; both grew to adulthood and married. There is uncertainty as to which of them was the John Blood who settled in Windsor, Vermont and married Asenath Powers and which was the John Blood who remained in Groton and married Lydia Kemp.
Toler quotes Childs Windsor County Gazette stating that John Blood "came from Groton, Mass." to Windsor, Vermont, about 1785,[2] but the town marriage record suggests that he arrived by 1782.
John Blood was married to Asenath Powers in Windsor, Vermont, on 28 February 1782.[3] Their children included:[4]
- Asenath, born 8 July 1782.
- Polly, born born 25 March 1784.
- Samuel, born 3 March 1787.
- Marshall, born 27 April 1791.
- Marvin, born 8 January 1793.
- Horace, date not available.
- Sylvester, born 17 June 1797.

Note: Aldrich gives the date of marriage as 28 February 1781; Aldrich might have adjusted the marriage date so the first child's birth would be more than 9 months after the marriage.
