Query: BLEAKLEY
John Bleakley and his wife came to the US in June of 1819 from Ireland.
They settled in Berks Co., PA. On September 13, 1820 their son, James
Bleakley was born " near Unionville, Berks Co." Mrs. Bleakley died soon
thereafter. John and James remained in Berks Co. until 1833, when the
moved to Venango Co.
I am very interested in finding out info on Mrs. Bleakley. First of all
is there a "Unionville, Berks Co."? I am afraid that the information
that I have received from a book is incorrect. How can I go about
getting information on Mrs. Bleakley if there are no death records?
I would appreciate any advice anyone may have.
Thanks!!!!
