A friend of mine's great great grandfather, Isaac Blanchard, was born about 1826-27 in New Jersey and was living in Elizabeth, NJ with his wife, Sarah J. Blanchard, in 1850 (according to the 1850 census). This branch of the Blanchard family moved to Newark, NJ and became prominent there. Sherry (or anyone else), do you have any information on Isaac Blanchard or Sarah J. Blanchard (don't know maiden name - - census record indicates she was born in South Carolina)? Thank You - - Richard Horvath

I am a new subscriber to the Blanchard List and I'm hoping that someone has some information on Abigail Blanchard born in Norton, Bristol, Massachusetts; died 28 Feb 1814 in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Abigail married Solomon Morse, born 1720 in Walpole, Norfolk, Massachusetts; son of Timothy Morse and Mehitable Clark. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you, Marjorie

Her birth is not found in the vital records of Norton -- for some reason, only the three eldest sons are entered there. However, her parentage is firmly established by the probate file of her father, as reported by Pat Curry -- there is a list of recipients in the division of the estate, and that list includes "eldest daughter Abigail, wife of Solomon Morse." By the way, Walpole did not exist in 1720. Solomon was born in the town of Dedham (from which Walpole split off in 1724) on 1720 May 3, per the vital records of Dedham. John Chandler

I am searching for info on William Blanchard born 1849 in Illinois and his father, Warren Blanchard born in Hopkinton, NY. Unfortunately, this is all that I know about them. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. Beryl

Hi Jack and all, Here's my two cents worth. I descend from Benjamin and Mary Abbott's son Joshua. My research coincides with John Chandler's findings. I did look at Jacob and wife(s) some time ago as I was researching the Blanchards from Bradford, NH, one of whom was a Jacob. The Bradford Jacob soon was clearly not related to Jacob son of Benjamin so I did not pursue the search long. However here is some feedback on the issue: -----Original Message----- From: Jack Murray [SMTP:silverfox1@erols.com] Sent: Thursday, September 16, 1999 2:42 PM To: BLANCHARD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Thomas Blanchard - Son Jonathon's line At the suggestion of Fletcher Blanchard, I want to submit for comments the Jonathan Blanchard's line as I have researched through Vital Records, as part of my on-going research. Much has been reported of Thomas and the lineage of George, but I have yet to observe difinitive evidence of Thomas's father, Jean Pierre (Pierre Jean) Blanchard. Perhaps there is a work out there that will shed some light on their migration from Normandy to England to Charlestown - 1639. [Sherry L Gould] All I would add to Johns comments about the parentage of Jonathan is that he is found in Samuel's will and is well known at the Andover Historical Society to be the son of Samuel. Starting with Thomas Blanchard, born 16 Aug. 1626: s Jonathan b. 25 May 1664 - ( Charlestown V.R.) Married Ann Lovejoy 26 May 1685 - (Andover V.R.) s Benjamin b. 14 Feb. 1692 - (Andover V.R.) Married Mary Abbott 29 Dec. 1718 - (Andover V.R.) s Jacob (Sr) b. 11 May 1724- (Andover V.R.) Married Rebecca Lawrence 1749 (Hollis V.R.) This is where things get muddied. The History of Hollis by Samuel Worcester includes an extracted list of events from the Hollis VR plus other sources, and it shows the marriage of a Jacob Blanchard to an ELIZABETH Lawrence on 1745 Nov. Have you actually consulted the original records and found that they say REBECCA? Is there some evidence to show that this Jacob is the same as the son of Benjamin above? (Pat Curry may have collected some, but we can't ask her now. We really do miss her.) John Chandler [Sherry L Gould] My hunch was that Jacob may have married Elizabeth who died and then married Rebecca. The reference for the marriage to Elizabeth that John gives is on page 343 of the History of Hollis where the source is given as "marriages to be found in the records of the district of Dunstable." Pg. 366 of the same History gives a family register where the births of two sons are given to Jacob and Rebekah Lawrence, Jacob, b. Aug 9, 1750 & d. and Jacob b. Feb 16, 1753 (neither of these births are found in NH Vital Records). Worcester gave the date of marriage when he had it from the town records, and he does not give the date marriage for Jacob and Rebekah, nor does he mention Elizabeth in this family register. If I were to follow up on this hunch I would explore the Lawrence family of Groton, MA to see if both Elizabeth and Rebekah could be identified. If so I would want to see the will of her/their father(s). An interesting side note is that Jacob Blanchard of Dunstable married Mary Hazleton of Hollis on June 6 1814 from pg. 353 of the History of Hollis as taken from the Hollis record of Marriages. s Nathaniel b. 29 May 1760 - (Groton V.R.) Married Anna Green 28 Nov. 1782 - (Groton V.R.) [Sherry L Gould] I have the printed VR's for Dunstable and a copy of the Blanchard section for Groton. Nathaniel's birth is in the Groton VR, pg. 28 of Vol. 1. The marriage is as above on pg. 25 of Vol. 2. s Esquire b. 3 July 1798 - (Dunstable & Groton V.R.) Married Rachel Searles 13 April 1819 - (Groton V.R.) [Sherry L Gould] This 'home' for Squire and Rachel is exciting for me, thanks! The name always intrigued me when I encountered it in the NH VR's, though I never investigated the line. I find Esquire's birth in Groton VR pg. 28 of Vol. 1 and not found in Dunstable VR. The marriage is found in the Dunstable record (pg. 105) and not in the Groton one. s Noah b. 27 Jan. 1822 - (Groton V.R.) Married Emaline Cordelia Powers-Wood 25 July 1844 at Elizabeth, N.J. [Sherry L Gould] I find Noah F's birth as 27 Jan 1821 in the Dunstable VR pg. 12 with a reference of 1st Book of Dunstable Town Records at City Hall, Nashua, NH. I do not find it in the printed Groton VR. Jack, thanks for sharing this information to the list. I am interested in learning anything you may have found on Joshua, brother of Jacob and also any information about the death and burial of Benjamin and Mary. Sherry Gould

The current issue of the New England Historical and Genealogical Registor (NEHGR) has an interesting article "A Genealogical Bibliography of Middlesex County, Massachusetts Testators', by Gary Boyd Roberts. The introduction states, "The following bibliography identifies the major printed sources covering the origins (if known), life, and immediate or agnate descendants (if any) of all 134 persons whose estates were probated in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, between October 1649 and December 1660". This is a summary of the recent NEHGS publication, 'Middlesex County: Records of Probate and Administration, October 1649 - December 1660" which contains full transcripts of these records. The sources cited for the article are given, followed by summaries for all 134 persons. Some of you may be interested in the following excerpt. 16.-17. Thomas BLANCHARD*, 1654, Charlestown, and his son, Thomas BLANCHARD, Jr.*, 1651, Charlestown: Wyman, 88-91: Register, 17 [1863]:156-57, 32 [1878]:408-09, 36 [1882]:143-44, 49 [1895]:65-67, 66 [1912]:244-52, 68 [1914]:107;English Origins 1, 1:199-207, English Origins 2, 1:182-84, 942, The Essex Antiquarian, 9 [1905]: 26-32; Frederick Chester Warner, "The Ancestry of Samuel, Freda, and John Warner," typescript (Boston:1949), 55-56; Edmund K. Swigart, "An Emerson-Benson Saga" (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., for the author, 1994), 112-16. { * denotes that "his or her English origins are known, the year of his estate's probation, place of residence, and any near kinship to others among the 134.} I hope that sharing this information with our list members does not constitute a copyright violation. Maybe this will be overlooked if I add that Mr. Rogers' 480 page book is available from NEHGS at $50 plus shipping. Thomas BLANCHARD, Sr,'s will has already been reported to the list and I imagine some of you have reviewed much of this material but perhaps there is something new here. I hope to be able to check this out on my next trip to a library with a complete collection of the NEHGR and perhaps some of the other sources. In the meantime, If anyone has a chance to do this, please report to the list. Fletch

I believe that a couple of our list members might be interested in these queries. The first one I saw recently in a M/J 1988 issue of Genealogical Helper Monica BLANCHARD M1787 Gates, NC submitted by James D. Kelley, 81 Shirewood Drive, Rochester, NY 14625. I realize that this is a rather 'ancient' query but it might be worth checking. BTW, I first contacted Pat Blanchard CURRY, based on some 10-year old correspondence that I happened to see in a local history center! _________ The other one was posted on GenForum by Paula [ rvanwaus@netins.net ] "I'm looking for parents of Monica Blanchard, who married John Odum. VA and NC areas, late 1700's, early 1800s. They were parents of Millie, Ira, Noah, Rodan, Asa, Richard, Jacob, John. Any information and dates would be great!" ____________ Fletch

Happy Labor Day weekend to those of you in the U.S.!! I have been corresponding with William Blanchard ARMITAGE from Toronto, Canada. Bill heard about me through the Blanc/shard Family History Society in England, and was interested in our studies of the possible French and perhaps Huguenot connectiion of Thomas and his presumed brother Joseph BLANCHARD. Bill is not on the Net so I will share some data that he has sent, concerning his early BLANCHARD ancestors. As a background, Bill was born in Geraldton, Western Australia and was named after his maternal grandfather who was born 1844 in Leeds, Yorkshire, Eng. to Elizabeth BLANCHARD and George ARMITAGE. (See summary data below.) According to family tradition, this Elizabeth was a French woman. A witness at the marriage of her brother Henry in 1835, was a William ROGIER (French-sounding ??) and Bill has collected data on people with this surname who appear to have been "comb makers" with a connection to the Channel Islands. That's about all I have but if anyone is interested in learning more about Bill's BLANCHARD line, the ARMITAGEs, the ROGIERs, etc., I would be glad to act as a relay. You can also contact Bill at: 460 Jarvis Street, Apt. #820 Toronto M4Y 2X8 Ontario, Canada If the formatting of the following is disturbed too much by your mail program, I can send it to you directly as an attached file.

Hi Carolyn and other interested members - Several years ago, I discovered this community on a map and came within a few miles of it on our way to meet some friends for a wilderness canoe trip on the upper Penobscot River. We didn't have time to make the short detour to see the village or I would have had the answer to your questions. According to the U.S. Gazetteer (U.S. Census Bureau) web page, this is an 'unorganized' community and the 1990 census showed 78 inhabitants. I just posted a query to the Piscataquis Co., ME GenWeb Page (Blanchard is about 10 miles from the border with Somerset Co.) to inquire about the founders or early settlers and will report to the list when I get a response.

Does anyone have any information about this tiny little village? I know the location, longitude & latitude, etc. and would like to know for whom the village was named. Can anyone point me in the direction of good information? Thank you in advance. Carolyn in Norcross, GA
