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.
