There are those of you who have researched this far more than I have, and I am fairly certain that you have concluded that there is no provable connection between the New England Blanchards and the Southern Blanchard. However, in my research I have seen something interesting that many of you probably already know about and have already studied and/or dismissed. I would be interested to hear whether you have researched this possible connection. Here it is: In Massachusetts in 1672 was born Ruth Adams, daughter of Peletiah Adams and his wife Ruth. The daughter Ruth Adams married 4 Oct 1698 to Thomas Blanchard. In North Carolina in 1812 is the will of Palatiah Blanchard. Peletiah/Palatiah is a very unusual name. Any thoughts?

I received this and I know someone out there should know about this line. Any takers? Kathy Please reply to: SRasmu2517@aol.com Hi Kathy, I saw you're note posted on the Blanchard line... Isaac Blanchard and his wife Eunice Hill named one of their 5 children Charles DeForest...My line of Blanchards' goes back to the DeForests... I'm wondering if there is a connection somewhere. We also have the name Charles in our family.. in fact my gr gf was names Charles Blanchard and my gr gr gf named one of his children Reuben DeForest Blanchard... if anyone is interested I have the line back to at least 1752 in Stamford, CT... to Jacob Blanchard who had 5 sons.. named John, Ira, Daniel Solomon, and Isaac... this Isaac never married,,, but it is possible that one of his brothers named a child after him.... any thoughts would be welcomed. Thankyou Sally (Blanchard) Rasmussen

Reposting my interests. Subject:: BLANCHARD/BLANSHARD -( Nova Scotia, Canada & Australia [Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland]) CURRIE/CURRY (As above) WEEDON/WEEDING (Warwickshire, England & Queensland) MEREDITH/MERIDETH (Staffordshire, England & Queensland) SHEPHERD (Staffordshire, England & Queensland) Any Australian descendants out there for these families? I am in contact with relatives of their ancestors' overseas. but none in Australia. BLANCHARD's were French Huguenots. Fled to England for short while. Emigrated to Boston, Mass., (USA) in 1637. From there to New Hampshire and on to Nova Scotia, (Canada). WILLIAM EARLE BLANCHARD & wife ELLEN CURRIE/CURRY came to Victoria, Australia circa 1850s, & lived at EMERALD HILL "Tent City" at South Melbourne for a while. Most of the family then settled in Sydney, New South Wales. KNOWN CHILDREN: Andrew Charles, John McLean, Jotham, unnamed, Sophia McLean, Charles Edward, Samuel, Sarah C, Mary. I thought it possible that they came out on the "AURORA", Master Captain Kitchen, which left Prince Edward Island, Pictou, & Halifax in September 1852, and arrived in Port Phillip, Australia, in SEPTEMBER 1853 (Transcribers Guild list). This voyage, is recorded in Australia as having arrived in FEBRUARY 1853 (VIC GRO List). But no Blanchard's recorded. Son JOTHAM BLANCHARD went to Queensland. Married LIZZIE WEEDON born Warwickshire, England in 1868. Settled in MARYBOROUGH Queensland, area. His son SAMUEL THOMAS (TOM) BLANCHARD, married PHOEBE ELIZABETH MEREDITH/MERIDETH in 1902. Phoebe's parents were EDWIN MEREDITH & ELIZABETH SHEPHERD. Both from Staffordshire in England, married Shropshire, England, 1862. Be extremely glad to hear from any Australian descendants and swap information. Wynnette Ford, formerly Blanchard, nee Mansfield.

While checking for another record I came across a death record for Minnie Blanchard, Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio. Died 9 MAR 1901 (44 years, one month old), place of birth: Toledo, Ohio Lived at 1331 Michigan and died of typhoid fever. If anyone should like a scan of the probate court record, let me know. Kathy

As a matter of fact, Benjamin Blanchard of Nansemond Co has come up for discussion a couple times on this list. Searching on the keyword Nansemond ought to find the stuff. The conclusion was that he was most likely the son of another Blanchard who had also settled in Virginia, and neither one had any connection to the Massachusetts Blanchards. John Chandler

Bonsoir, The dates look okay for a tie-in, but I never heard of that birthplace for JOHN. Where did you get that info? I don't have ANY info on a branch which went south that early. It would have bee quite a trip to make in those days! There is quite an archive on this Rootsweb BLANCHARD site. Have you checked it out for info on your folks? Keep in touch, if you find a definite link.....

Dear fellow Blanchard researchers: After a long dry spell I finally received some information that may contribute to my researches on my Blanchard line by checking out the WorldConnect project. Listed was the following George H. Blanchard b. 11 Jun 1812 in New York, d. 1 Jun 1891 in Chicago, Illinois. Wife Julina Margaret McIntyre, b. 27 Apr 1831 in New York. Children: Charles Louis Blanchard, b. 14 Feb 1854 in Buffalo, New York. This _almost_ fits the George Blanchard who was my great-great-grandfather. Here are the vital statistics that I have based on the 1855 New York state census and the 1860 federal census for Buffalo, New York: George Blanchard born c. 1824, wife Margaret born c. 1831. Children: Harriet, 1849 George, 1852 Charles, 1856 Mora, 1860 The indications that suggest that these are my g-g-grandparents are: 1. George's occupation is listed as engineer in the 1887 Chicago city directory. My g-grandfather George's occupation was engineer. 2. Middle name of wife is correct (Margaret) 3. Birth year of wife is correct. 4. Placement in Buffalo in correct time frame. 5. Absence of other George Blanchards in Buffalo in correct time frame. 6. Son Charles of approximately the right age. 7. The only documentation of George's age in the WorldConnect listing is from his death certificate (which could be wrong). The indications that suggest that these people are not my g-g-grandparents: 1. George's age does not fit. 2. Wife's first name is Julina (although middle name is Margaret). 3. Charles's age does not fit. 4. No other children are documented. Okay, here's my question: what would constitute proof? Also, I've referenced the New York state census for 1855, the federal census of New York for 1860 (I've had no luck finding anyone in the 1870 census), Buffalo and Chicago city directories, the federal census of Missouri for 1880, the St. Louis city directories, marriage record for my g-grandfather and g-grandmother, and baptismal certificates for my grandfather and his siblings. Ideas on what I should look for now? Dave Schuler Chicago, Illinois

Am looking for any ideas or help for PHEBE. She has been a brick wall for over ten years. She is one of the few lines I haven't been able to find anything on. My Phebe Blanchard was bn. October 1808 in Boston, Erie, N.Y. She was md to Osmer EDDY in 1825. She died 25 July 1868 and has been a brick wall for years. Thank you, Cathy Dorson HELP PLEASE!

Looking for information on Hannah Blanchard, b. February 6, 1802 in Vermont. She married Erastus Tisdale (b. May 17, 1796, Milton, Chittendon Co., VT.) and had 3 daughters, Helen, b. 1829, Sarah, b. 1831 and Frances, b. 1832. Then they moved to Michigan in 1833 and had 3 more daughters, Louisa, b. 1836, Victoria, b. 1839, and Jane, b. 1842. When they moved to Michigan they took Rachel Carpenter Tisdale with them who was Erastus' mother. Her husband James Tisdale had drowned in Lake Champlain, December 9, 1813. Frances was my great great grandmother. I have lots of information on them after they arrived in Michigan to share. Norma

Hi, this is Roxana with a crazy question. Have just come upon a reminder note to myself written ages ago about my own Blanchard's. My ancient Auntie, a Blanchard by marriage, had indicated our ancestor "...got on the boat as an O'Blanch and got off as Blanchard. He was fleeing the long-arm of the law", so she said. Have any of you heard of a tradition/story like this? Roxana L. (Blanchard) Tea itsmerox@aol.com
