Hi, Pat Blanchard Curry sent me one response to a posting in May. ************************ To "Shaw110@buffnet.net" [Sue B. Shaw] on 15 May 1998 Re HANNAH (RICHARDSON) BLANCHARD, wife of Levi J. [c1823- ] Hannah was born in Whiting, Washington, ME to George & Nancy Richardson [see Coventry, RI Record of Marriages 1850-1900, p 17 which records the 1860 marriage of Hannah & Levi.] --About Levi's children: In Bristol Co., MA probates is a guardianship record for Josephine, dau of Levi & Hannah dated 2 Oct 1871: Levi, late of Smithfield, RI: widow Hannah, now dec'd. Her siblings: George H. Blanchard, Melissa "G." Tucker, wife of Roscoe L. B., Levi C. & John R. Blanchard, all of Attleborough, MA; & Mary E. Blanchard, of Warwick, RI. [Presumably this guardianship was for the purpose of handing on property owned or newly inherited by the widow Hannah. No guardian was appointed for her minor siblings--all children of Levi & his first wife. -->CHECK for a Richardson probate in Bristol Co., MA [possibly for a parent or for one of Hannah's siblings who died without heirs. ************************* This BLANCHARD list sure is quiet these days...was concerned whether I was still subscribed seeing as I wasn't getting many issues.
