An American Family History

Johann Conrad Bloss was born on January 8, 1716 in Germany. He was a weaver. His parents were Johannes Bloss and Anna Margaretha Wolff.

He married Anna Magdalena Reber. Their children and life together are described in detail in the section on Conrad and Magdalena Bloss.

Conrad died before 1781 when the Heidelberg Church listed Magdalena as a widow.

A Conrad Bloss participated in the Battle of Long Island and was probably killed there. Since Conrad would have been 60 at the time it is unlikely that he marched to New Jersey.
