BLYE In the colonial records this name is spelled Bly, Blye and Bligh. The form of spelling now in gen- eral use is Bly. The first of the name in New England, of whom there is any record, was John Bly, a brickmaker, of Salem, Massachu- setts, who was married in that town Novem- ber II, 1663, to Rebecca, daughter of Deacon Charles Golt (or Gott), and Savage says that she was perhaps his second wife. Of this union there were John, Benjamin, Mary, Re- becca, Edmund, Hannah and William, who were born between the years 1665 and 1676 or '78. In the Lynn records is found Samuel Bly, who was married there, December 19, 1678, to Lois, daughter of Thomas Ivory, but these records mention but one son, Theophilus, who died in 1681. The Blys of Rhode Island, who were the ancestors of the Blys now resid-
ing in Woburn and Medford, evidently went there from Massachusetts.
William Bly was residing in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1790, and judging by the records of the births of his children he subse- quently removed from there to Smithfield, same state. He married Susan Mason, and had a family of eight children: I. Thomas, born April 24, 1789. 2. Horatio Newton, born in Newport, August 5, 1790, mentioned at greater length in another sketch in this work. 3. Joseph, born February 13, 1791. 4. Sarah, born April 8, 1793, died January 20, 1855 ; she became the wife of Ezra Kemp- ton of New Bedford, born May 21, 1790, died . December 6, 1860, and was the mother of children : Thomas Kempton, born May 27, 1817, died September 14, 1818; Sarah E., born October 14, 1824, died September 22, 1904, the widow of Warren B. Potter of Bos- ton; and Caroline S., born August 14, 1833, died January 20, 1855 ; she married Gideon D. Gifford, of New Bedford. 5. Susanna, born October 14, 1795, died unmarried, June I, 1864. 6. Electa, born August 4, 1799, died September 6, 1873; she was the wife of Sim- eon P. Wilbur and the mother of three chil- dren : Susan B., born July 8, 1822, (married May 20, 1860, to Captain Joseph Thompson, who died March 16, 1906) ; William B. Wil- bur, born May 22, 1825, married in 1856, Eliza J. Chadwick, who was born April 19, 1838, and died February 8, 1901; Martha K.

William Mason Bly, fourth son and seventh child of William and Susan ( Mason) Bly, was born in Smithfield, Rhode Island, February 28, 1802. At an early age he began to fol- low the sea, and becoming a master mariner was for many years in command of merchant vessels hailing from Bristol, Rhode Island, where he also resided. He was part owner of several of the ships which he commanded, the most notable one being the "Francis A. Se- ward," and he made many successful voyages to Cuba and other southern points, having trade with northern ports. During the Mexi- can war he was engaged in carrying the mail for the United States government, and dur- ing the civil war he held a commander's com- mission in the transport service. As captain of the ship "Abbie P. Chase," in 1849 he car- ried two hundred goldseekers from New Bed- ford around Cape Horn to California, landing

them safely in San Francisco, and selling the ship in that port he remained upon the Pacific coast some two years. Returning to Bristol by way of the isthmus, he once more engaged in the merchant service. For several years subsequent to the civil war he commanded the United States custom house boat at Bristol. Failing eyesight at length compelled him to abandon the sea, and purchasing a farm at Acushnet, near New Bedford, he conducted it for a year, when he sold his property and retired. His last days were spent in New Bedford, and he died in that city, 1882, an octogenarian. Captain Bly was married Oc- tober 27, 1829, to Emeline Hadley, of Boston, born March, 1805, daughter of Andrew Had- ley. She became the mother of seven chil- dren : William Thomas, born September 16, 1830; Andrew Mason, born October 5, 1832, died April 12, 1837 ; Mary Emeline, born De- cember 15, 1835, married Augustus Burbank, of Bristol ; George Andrew, who will be again referred to; Bradford Durfee, born April II, 1841, died November 5, 1843; Eliza Covell, born June 7, 1844, died December 31 of the same year, and Nancy Perry, born July 12, 1845. The latter became the wife of Dr. Job Sweet of New Bedford, and has one daughter, Daisie Annetta. All of these chil- dren were born in Bristol.
George Andrew Blye, third son and fourth child of Captain William M. and Emeline (Hadley) Bly, was born in Bristol, May 29, 1838. He attended the public schools of his native town until fifteen years old, and a year later began an apprenticeship at the carpen- ter's trade, serving two years with Messrs. Green & Brown in Providence, and one year with Sweet & Carpenter. After concluding his apprenticeship he went' to sea as second mate of his father's ship, making a voyage to Port au Prince, San Domingo, and upon his return he resumed his trade in Bristol. In 1861 he rejoined his father as first mate in the transport service, receiving his commission from the federal government November 22 of that year, and served in that capacity on the transport "Voltiguer," formerly the "Jacob Merrill." On its first voyage with troops from Annapolis, Maryland, to Hatteras Inlet, the ship ran aground at the last named place and remained stranded for five months, but was floated at last and subsequently carried grain to Fortress Monroe, Baltimore, and Hilton Head. Early in 1863 he withdrew from the govern- ment service and again returned to his trade in Bristol, later going to Providence. From the latter city he went to Chicago, where he
shortly afterwards entered the service of the Chicago & Alton railroad as carpenter, and was later placed in charge of the repair shops at Bloomington, Illinois. In addition to his railroad work in the last named city he fol- lowed his- trade in other directions, and for a time was in charge of the water works. Hav- ing spent several years in Illinois he returned to his home in Bristol, and in 1882 he accepted employment at the Soule sash and blind works in New Bedford, later working for Messrs. Brownell & Myrtle, contractors in that city. Some twenty-two years ago he removed to Woburn, and for the succeeding twelve years was employed by S. W. Perham. In 1898 he entered the service of the Boston and Maine Railway, having charge of the company's tene- ment houses in Somerville and Charlestown, but was later transferred to the freight houses at Mystic Wharf as inspector and he continued in that capacity until 1904, when he retired. For some years Mr. Blye owned and occupied a house on New Boston street, Woburn, but in 1904 he moved to where he is now residing, at 752 Main street, still owning his place on New Boston street. Politically he is a Republican. His religious affiliations are with the Episco- palians. He was formerly a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Order of Ameri- can Mechanics. In 1859, '60 and '61 he was sergeant of an artillery company in Bristol.
On July 18, 1859, Mr. Blye married for his first wife Miss Harriet Byron Manches- ter, born in Bristol, Rhode Island, October IO, 1839, daughter of Henry A. Manchester, of that town, who was a shoemaker by trade." She died May 13, 1877. He was again mar- ried, November 10, 1886, to Mrs. Abigail (Boutwell) Horne, who was born in Woburn, June 13, 1844, daughter of James and Mary (Kendall) Boutwell. Mr. Blye's first wife became the mother of four children, all of whom were born in Bristol : I. Benjamin Franklin Manchester, born January 15, 1860; married, April 25, 1881, Jennie E. Hitchings, who bore him no children, and he was mar- ried a second time, February 24, 1904, to Ada W. Regann, and has two children: Henrietta Ada, born November 21, 1904, and Benjamin Franklin, born June 13, 1906. 2. George Henry, born December 9, 1862; married No- vember 21, 1897, Nellie Colvin; no children. 3. Harriet Sherman, born August 6, 1873, died August 14, 1875. 4.

BLY Horatio Newton Bly was born in Newport, Rhode Island, August 5, 1790. He was a son of William and Susan (Mason) Bly, of Newport, the former a descendant of John Bly of Salem, Massa- chusetts, and a more extended account of his parents will be found in a sketch of the Bly family, which appears in this work.
At an early age Horatio Newton Bly learned the ship-calker's trade, and subsequently set- tled in New Bedford, Massachusetts, which at that time was the chief seat of the whaling in- dustry in America. With the exception of a short interval spent in the employ of the Unit- ed States government at the Charlestown navy yard, he followed his trade in New Bedford for the rest of his life. For many years he resided on Purchase street, and in his day was a well-known figure in the New Bedford shipyards. In his younger days he served in the local militia company and also in the New Bedford fire department. During the anti- slavery agitation he sided with the Abolition- ists, and joined the Republican party at its formation. In his religious views he was a Congregationalist. His first wife, whom he married in Fair Haven, was Caroline E. Ken- nison, born in Boston and he married for his second wife Mrs. Harriet Bassett, widow of William Bassett, of New Bedford. His first wife became the mother of five children : Mary Maria, born 1835, married George O. Lewis, of Scituate, Massachusetts; Horatio Thomas, born 1837, killed during Civil war; he was in the naval service on board the gunboat "St. Louis," in 1863, and was buried at sea. Eliza- beth Chandler, born 1839, married Charles Chadwick, of New Bedford; Ezra Kempton, born 1841, married Elizabeth Davis, of New Bedford, daughter of Henry V. Davis; and William L. Bly, now of Medford, Massachu- setts.
William L. Bly, youngest child of Horatio Newton and Caroline E. (Kennison) Bly, was born in New Bedford, August 7, 1843. He was reared and educated in New Bedford, at- tending the public schools until sixteen years old, when he began his business training as a clerk in the dry goods store of Benjamin H. Waite, remaining there some two years. Go- ing to Medford he was employed in the sash and blind manufactory of Anthony Wateman until the civil war broke out, when he enlisted as a private in Company E, Third Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, for nine months. Under the command of Colonel Silas P. Richmond, the Third Regiment served in the
North Carolina campaign, participating in the battles of Whitehall, Kinston and Goldsboro, and also rendered efficient service in and around Newberne, North Carolina. Receiving an honorable discharge from the army, Mr. Bly returned to New Bedford, but after hav- ing pursued a commercial course at Comer's Business College, Boston, he re-enlisted in an unattached company and served three months at Fort Warren, Boston Harbor, guarding Confederate prisoners. In 1865 he resumed mercantile business as a salesman in the clothing store of Messrs. Taber, Read and Gardner, remaining with that firm for two years, at the expiration of which time he entered in the same capacity the employ of George A. Fenno & Company, Boston, and retained his connection with that concern for a period of fifteen years. The succeeding two years were spent in the employ of the Stand- ard Clothing Company, on Washington street, Boston, and severing his connection with that concern he resumed his former position with the Fenno establishment. About the year 1887 he once more returned to New Bedford, taking a position as salesman in the clothing store of Gifford and Company, and assuming the management of that establishment in 1889 he conducted it successfully until 1905, when he retired from business.
After his retirement, Mr. Bly removed to Medford, and is now residing at 52 Central avenue, that city. In politics he is a Republi- can. He is a comrade of the Grand Army of the Republic, belonging to R. A. Pierce Post, No. 190. He attends the Congregational church. He was married June 16, 1869, to Ella F. Gibbs, born October 20, 1846, daughter of William and Orange (Braley) Gibbs, of New Bedford, the former of whom was a well-known shipbuilder of his day. Mr. and Mrs. Bly have one daughter, Carrie Gibbs Bly, born November 19, 1876. She married Ben- jamin F. Haines of New Bedford, June II, 1902, and has one son, Webber Bly Haines, who was born April 3, 1906.
