Bliss and wife," and "Gillam Bliss, (single) a transient man,4," probably a
cousin of Constant.  Another enumeration, in 1772 gives the names "Constant
Bliss and Elizabeth Bliss," and "young man, Gillom Bliss."  Another record
states thre "Constant Bliss settled on the back lot-six acres fell."  This lot
was originally owned by"John Moulton,III."  Orford records also state that
Constant Bliss was killed by the Indians at Greensboro, Vt. at an early date.
