Speaking of Blanchard River. During the past six months I did post that I had an article from a book about Jean Jacques Blanchard and if anyone wanted a scan I would send it. I did not have the time then to retype the article but a number of people contacted me and wanted the article so I sent it to them. It was interesting and was in a Putnam County book I have. It's six pages long and if anyone should like it I can send to them by email. It's also about the naming of Blanchard Township in Putnam County. Kathy Baker, Rome, Italy
