F. A. Bleckley Papers

The Bleckley family (also spelled Blakely) was from Catawba County, North Carolina. Three sons of Charles Bleckley (b. ca. 1799) and Ann Bleckley (b. ca. 1796) served in the Confederate Army. Brothers William L. Bleckley (b. ca. 1828) and James M. Bleckley (b. ca. 1834) served as privates in Co. I, 49th North Carolina Infantry. Older brother Franklin A. Bleckley (b. ca. 1825) served in McLean’s Battalion, NC Light Duty Men. According to the 1860 U.S. Census, Franklin and William were millwrights, and James’ occupation was listed as “house carpenter.”
