Re: BLANCHARD-L message latest/ 558, posted 25 Mar 1998 Please make the following corrections in the Note: following the data from the "Blanchard Genealogy" of Dana BLANCHARD CHASE of Cumberland, ME, in paragraph #3. Elizabeth Buxton born Mar. 11, 1784 married 1st Solomon Loring Blanchard 2nd Dea Salarhil Sweetser Alexander Buxton born Apr. 28,1787 married Christiana Blanchard (Elizabeth and Alexander were the children of Benjamin Buxton and Elizabeth Grant - not Chase descendants) In the Chase Genealogy section of the DBC document, the Chases, Buxtons and Sweetsers were lumped together after what started out as Chase Genealogy and I was incorrect in thinking that Elizabeth and Alexander were [Chases]. Thanks to the ever vigilant John Chandler for pointing out my error!! Fletch

Can someone please email me instructions for getting off this list? I have tried several times. Thanks, Leslie Blanchard bearlife@iamerica.net

Hi Pat and All, Pat said: Re the RICHARD BLANCHARD's of Northfield, NH: --The Richard listed 1790-1810 seems to be Richard, bp 1727 in Durham, NH; son of Richard Blanchard & Sarah {Reynolds) Head.

According to desc. of his daughter Jane [DAR Lin Bks 75:318; 78:7], Richard died in Apr 1814; how- ever the Hodgdon Cem. in Northfield shows he was ae 37 and the Rockingham Co. probate filed in May 1814 for a Richard "Jr." seems to be for the Richard, son of Benjamin & Azuba.

Repeat of some of my previous data entered by you on 20 & 21 Jan 1998 with an added index Re ancestry of MOULTON BLANCHARD [1784-1868] - possibility that his father might be a JOSEPH Blanchard who may or may not have married a Miss ____ Moulton. [Moulton was b MA or NH; known to have married in VT before settling in NY. Moulton's brother James, b c1795/96, MA or NY] A good candidate suggested by John Chandler: --JOSEPH [b 1761, Charlton, MA; son of James & Hannah]; his wife is unknown; served in Rev War [1780]; may be listed Brookfield, MA in 1790 with a son b 1774/90. Not ident. after 1790. --Note a JOSEPH, b before 1765, listed with "wife" & 3 younger females in 1810 St. Lawrence Co., NY [Would like to know who this man is.] --If Joseph did not marry a Miss Moulton, consider JOSEPH [b 1756, son of Samuel; desc. of Nathaniel]; known res of Stoughton, MA [1774]; of Mansfield, MA [1775]; wife was Salome Wellman; they supposedly went to Colerain [in present Franklin Co.], MA; left traces in Cheshire Co., NH deed [1781]; in Jamaica, Windham, VT [1785-1796]. Their known child was an Asa b 1775, MA; however the 1790 census shows 3 other sons, b 1774/90 & possibly 2 daughters. One of the sons might be Moulton, but until we can locate the family in MA or NY c1795/6 we can't account for a son James. [On the bright side, census data can be woefully imprecise & James seems to be very uncer- tain where he was born according to his various census state- ments.] --For John Chandler's consideration: -JOSEPH [b 1762, RI] was a gr-grandson of the William of RI; he went to area of present Luzerne Co., PA; served in the Rev. War there; later settled in NY. His known children [b 1793-1820] unfortunately did not include a James. -JOSEPH [b 1765] & later of Lewiston, ME is the man who m Hannah Mooar [see her widow's Rev War Pens.

[1790 household incl. his last 2 sons] To John Chandler, Ranald Blanchard, et al.. Re 2 of the children of Samuel-4 (John-3 Sam-2 Thomas-1) - Martha & Nathaniel, b 1757: My theory is that both are correct & might have been twins even though Martha is listed only in the Billerica birth rec. & Nathaniel is listed only in the baptism records [& as the son of Samuel & Mary]. The non-duplication of these 2 in Billerica might be ascribed to clerical error or confusion by the transcribers of the original sources. My theory is based on "MA Soldiers & Sailors in the Rev..." and on the Rev. War Pension Appl. W16849. Nathaniel served in various Billerica militia units from 1775-1777 & in May 1777, as a res of Billerica, he enl. for 3 years with the Continental Army. He was "ae 62" in Sep 1820 [b c1758] which "fits" the bapt. of Samuel's son. Also no other Nath. of this age is found in Billerica sources. He was stationed near Woodbury, CT when he marr. Eunice Root in 1779 & is recorded there in 1790, 1800 census' after which they moved to NY. Records for this family are in Tompkins & Tioga Co's, NY.

Hi All, Received the following letter from Pat Blanchard Curry which contain her responses to your posts on this list. Am quoting her entire letter here because she has mentioned a few things that everyone should be aware of. Sorry it has taken so long to get her letter popsted to the list. She sent it to me on floppy disk and I had a time getting it to come up on my computer since we do not use the same word processing program. Will try to get this on the list in two separate postings. This is Part I. Dear Tom, I have been slow to send you this next group of comments, etc. on various Blanchard's because I also have been in a trau- matic state. My mother, ae 91, died here on Feb 8 & although it had been anticipated the actual reality has proved to be another whole dimension. Her services were held in Southern Calif. and there were all the technicalities to deal with as well as all of her possessions to distribute according to her wishes [a task still uncompleted...]. As a test I sent data I had on the "Joseph" & Anne line of Blanchard's to Fletcher. He called on 7 Feb & said he was able to read the file on a Desktop publ. program and said he'll be conferring with others to see how the outline might best be distributed. I plan to send data on desc of Thomas later. Perhaps there could be entries for documented corrections & additions to the lineages so that updated versions can be made periodically. Meanwhile we have loads of Blanchard's sitting in the misc. category, some of whom probably can be placed easily via further research of local sources... I have noted that a number of Blanchard seekers are accumulating data from the "easy" sources rather than delving into original records such as town books, deeds & probates. This latter group of sources is most valuable in resolving discrepancies in the data as well as iden tifying or locating desc. As you requested I am sending this letter to you in hard copy as well as on disk. Hopefully you will be able to read the disk via a Desktop publ. program and can easily add the data on the rootsweb circuit... In addition I am including a repeat of part of my earlier response along with a suggested index to it in order to make it available to interested parties... I will be continuing to study the rest of the data in the last two mailings to see if there is anything of a constructive nature I can add... Sincerely, Pat Further responses to Rootsweb data Nov/Dec 1997 & Jan/Feb 1998: by snail-mail researcher Pat Blanchard Curry, 3414 Fleetwood Dr Richmond, CA 94803-2012 --To John Chandler, John Tuttle & others -Re 1758 marriage in Brookfield, MA of SARAH Blanchard to Benj.

Hi all, The NEHGS circulating library sent me a copy of "Vital Records of Leominster, Mass., to 1850" by mistake. I used the book to fill in some missing dates for siblings in ancestor families. Also, while I had the book, I checked for information on Blanchards. I will post the data here hoping it may help someone with their research.. Blanchard births: Eliza J., ------ ---, 1820 (gravestone, Leominster Cemetery) George Francis, s. Joseph and Eliza J., Oct. 31, 1848 Joseph, -------- ---, 1821. (gravestone, Leominster Cemetery) Blanchard marriages: Joseph and Eliza Jane Gilbert of Marlborough, N.H., int. March 12, 1844. Levi M. and Eliza Nutting of Lowell, int. March 22, 1845. Mary A. of Winchendon and John Colburn, int. Nov. 6, 1846. Blanchard deaths: Wid. Bridget, mother of Mrs. Crosby, Nov. 24, 1836. Best wishes. jututtle@aol.com (John Tuttle)

I did not know that I was related to BLANCHARD surname at the time or was too busy raising a family of 3 children to connect it. My husband had student teachers in the Blanchard school system. There is a Blanchard River that runs through Findlay on which the family took canoe trips. There is a Blanchard Street in Findlay as well where all the shopping centers are located. Since getting back into genealogy after a 20 year leave, I have often wondered who the Blanchards were in that area. Since my BLANCHARD connection is in RI, I have never had need to pursue it for my own family history. I hope someone on this list already knows the reasons why Blanchard's were prominent in this area. Keep Rootin'!

Hello. I am seeking information about Francis BLANCHARD of La Rochelle, France. He married Anne HERVE and they had five children. They came to New York City about 1739. I am descended from his daughter Madeleine, who married Martin BRARD in New York City. Does anyone know of any reference material other than the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record article, volume 98, 1967? Thanks, Charles E. Boetsch <ceb@mcsi.net>

In copying the "Blanchard" references in the DAR Lineage Books, I found a few Blanchards born in Blanchard, Ohio. My zip code book does not list one for it. I am assuming it is in Hardin County. If so what is the county seat of Hardin, County, Ohio? Thanks, Pauline Blanchard

I used to think so, too, but Pat Curry has evidence of both Martha and Nathaniel. This was posted to the list by Tom Wilde in a collection of info from Pat on Jan 20. This would be an ideal opportunity to suggest that anybody wanting to see the details go and find the message on the Rootsweb server, except that they still don't have any 1998 messages on the web. They are in the archives, though, and you can order stuff quite easily via e-mail, so I will give here a reminder of how to do that instead of re-posting stuff already in the archives. Send email to BLANCHARD-L-request@rootsweb.com with a Subject of archive and a message body of dir latest **** IMPORTANT: do not send requests like this to the list. **** I.e., do not forget to include "-request" in the email address. **** Also, do not append a "signature" to your email. This will get you a list of all the email messages on B-L since the list was moved to Rootsweb. I just did this myself to find out what the message number was for Tom Wilde's note. It turns out the number was 400 (that's the longest message of several posted on Jan 20). Don't be confused by the "alphabetical" ordering of the files in this list -- the file names are just the numbers, so "399" is followed by "4", then "40", and then "400". Given the name (number) of the desired message, the next step is to send another note as before, but with a message body of get latest/400 (or any other file you want). A single message can contain multiple requests, just by including multiple lines in the message body. (This is why you shouldn't include a "signature" in such requests.) John Chandler PS That batch of info from Pat Curry was posted by Tom Wilde in two messages, one on the 20th and another on the 21st. The second part was message 401.

I noticed with interest Elizabeth Davis' message on her Blanchard -Gowen family and John Chandler's comments. I wonder about the inclusion of Nathaniel among the children of Samuel and Mary (Brown) Blanchard. Would not the same reasoning about "Phineas" and "Ahimaaz" apply here? Billerica V.R.s show Martha born 2 Aug. 1757 and Nathaniel (duplicate has Nathaneal) baptized 7 Aug. 1757. Hazen in his history lists "Martha (record of baptism says Nathan) b. 1757, Aug. 2." Is there a record of the baptism of Martha ? I have not seen a marriage or death record for this Nathaniel. Thanks for any clarification. jututtle@aol.com (John Tuttle)

Hi All, I've been surfing again... I had received the following: Ancestry HomeTown Daily "A Daily Dose of Genealogy" www.ancestry.com March 18, 1998 The Francis Frith Collection Francis Frith was 34 years old when he established the first photographic publishing company in Britain in 1856. His goal was to photograph every town and village in Britain and to publish the photographs for sale. He spent the rest of his life in pursuit of that goal. In those days photography was a messy and complicated process only undertaken by a very few professionals and the very rich. The photographs Frith took satisfied a demand for souvenirs of the places Victorians were visiting. "Frith's Post Cards" became well known at the time and are collectibles today. If you are researching ancestry in Victorian England or even as late as 1970, the Frith collection probably contains photographs of the villages where your ancestors lived. Originally published in Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter, March, 16, 1998. I went to: http://www.francisfrith.com/ and found the cd they sell (for $95.00) included the following towns in: HAMPSHIRE Abbotts Ann, Aldershot, Alresford, Alton, Alverstoke, Andover, Barton On Sea, Basingstoke, Blackwater, Bordon, Botley, Buriton, Cadnam, Chandlers Ford, Chilworth, Church Crookham, Denmead, East Meon, Eversley, Fareham, Farnborough, Fleet, Gosport, Horndean, Liphook, Liss, Lymington, Lyndhurst, Nether Wallop, New Milton, Odiham, Petersfield, Portsmouth, Ringwood, Romsey, Sheet, Shirley, Southampton, Southsea, Stockbridge, Upper Clatford, Wherwell, Winchester Now when is mothers day???

Hi Elizabeth and All, Welcome Elizabeth to the Blanchard family list. I wanted to thank you for the wonderful posting of your line! It is so nice to see a "Blanchard traveler" so well documented. This was a new line for me, and from John's questions I am assuming new to him as well. I was also pleased to see your use of the index lines as I know how much work it is for Fletcher to have to add those when we exclude them from our posts. You certainly put a lot of work into it. Thanks, I know it will be appreciated by other descendants of this line when they can find information in the data base. On a separate note I wanted to divert slightly and post some info on a new page I just discovered. It can be found at: http://www.zondervan.com/greenzon.htm#graphics I saw a green ribbon icon on a genealogy web page and followed the link to this site. The ribbon is accompanied by the saying, "freedom of speech with responsibility." It is a campaign aimed at reminding us all that with freedom comes the call for personal responsibility. We are reminded that words have the power to hurt and to heal. We are asked to use this freedom responsibly. After pursuing other interests on the Internet I have taken root in the area of genealogy because I have found here such a mutually respectful group of kinfolk, (biologically and spiritually speaking). I don't run around wearing ribbons for every cause that comes along but this one is dear to my heart and my web pages will all sport this one. Sherry
