Who is researching Blanchards who migrated from Virginia to Maryland? Mary Louise Blanchard was born April 13, 1874 in Maryland to a Blanchard father that is listed on the censuses as being born in Virginia and a mother who is born in Maryland. I am at a block and looking for a little help. Mary Louise Blanchard was first married to William Henry Haas in 1891 and had 5 children with him. No wonder Mary Lousie looks tired in all the pictures. After they divorced, William took the only son, William JR., to New Jersey to farm. Laura Gertrude Haas Mary Louise Haas William Henry Haas, Jr Florence Elizabeth Haas Mildred Leona Haas In 1902, John Thompson married Mary Louise Blanchard. This was her second marriage. They had 5 children in addition to raising all of Mary's girls. Mary Elizabeth Thompson Dulaney Emma Irene Thompson Synder John E. Thompson II Harry Leroy Thompson Joseph Earl Thompson The Family lived on FORT AVENUE, named for Fort McHenry and also on WOODALL STEEET which was named for William Woodall, one of the captains of industry of Locust Point. John was a Huckster, selling ice from a wagon for the ice boxes of South Baltimore. The Past Is But Prologue, Janice http://pages.prodigy.net/jancheryl/
