Misc. Notes
STEPHEN L. BLACHLY, M.D., one of the oldest and most skillful practitioners in Washington county, is descended from a long line of distinguished men, eminent in
the profession; but among this galaxy of brilliant medical lights we must look in vain for one whose skill in any case surpassed that of his descendant, the gentleman of
whom we write, who is not only an ornament to the modern school of medicine, but a worthy and honored representative of a race of expert physicians.
Dr. Ebenezer (1) Blachly, the first physician in the family, was a son of Aaron and Mary (Dodd) Blachly, and lived in Huntington, Suffolk Co., Long Island. His children
were: Elizabeth, Ebenezer (2), Joseph, Benjamin and Daniel, of whom Ebenezer (2), born in 1709, entered his father's profession, and married Hannah Miller, who bore
him the following children: Francis, Zopher, Ebenezer (3), Miller, Sarah, Cornelius, Mary and Marcy. The son Ebenezer (3), born in 1735, was a surgeon in the
Revolution. He married Mary Wickham, and they had twelve children, five of whom were also physicians. He died in 1805, and his son Ebenezer (4), born in 1760, entered
the war of the Revolution before he had reached the required age, and took an active part as surgeon throughout the conflict, after which he married Elizabeth Spencer, and reared a family of nine children: Nancy, Ebenezer S., Henry W. (father of subject), Mary J., Juliana, Bayard P., Eliza, Joseph W. and Oliver; with the latter two their mother passed the declining years of her life.
