• Notes

  JW Love sourc indicates he wa born in Northumberland County, EnglandNorthumberland Co Hist Society indicates familywas from New jersey and only one son, Samuel.New Jersey archives list a number of Blooms serving in revolution, but stephen is not one of them.LDS Family History PAF files give stephen Blum as born in Bucks County to Franz Blum and catherine Steiger, immigrants from Germany.Stephen served in Philadelphia County militia as Captain with a Daniel Bloom as First Lieutenant.Daniel Blum is listed as a brother in Franz Blum-Catherine Steiger family group sheet of PAF files.Franz Blum isidentifiable as an immigrant from bavaria in passenger lists.all facts seem to support German parentage as more reasonable than English in view of German wife. His son Samuel wa member of Lutheran Church in Augustaville. Son Daniel's only written record in German according to JW Love notes."Early Families of Northumberland County" tell of dtephen carrying messages from governor to Captain Carl Volck, Commandant of Fort Allen on April 29, 1756. He returned reporting death of Martin Presser, a victim of the Gnadenhutten massacre.
