Last year, Pat B. Curry asked if I had any information on my great grandmother's siblings. My ggrandmother was Orpha M. Blanchard, born 26 Jan 1845, to David and Lorain Blanchard in Morrisonville, Clinton Co., NY. Lorain (Perry) Blanchard was David's second wife. His first wife was Orpha Canfield. Children by David Blanchard (b. 30 Apr 1794, in Pittsford, Rutland, VT, to George and Elizabeth Blanchard) and Orpha Canfield were: Marcello(?), b. 1820/25, Bristol, Addison, VT; George(?), b. 1825/30, Bristol, Addison, VT; "Adeloner", b. c1830, Bristol, Addison, VT; Hiram, b. c1837, Clinton Co., NY; Children born to David Blanchard and Lorain Perry were: Orpha, b. 1845, Clinton Co., NY (my ggrandmother) Mary, b. c1846, Clinton Co., NY; Rollin, b. c1849, Clinton Co., NY; Stanton, b. Jun 1860, NY; Viola, b. after 1860? Orpha married Seth F. Richardson in Potsdam, St. Lawrence Co., NY, in 1865. They moved to Wisconsin where my grandmother was born in Green Lake Co. They also lived for awhile in Marquette Co. and in Fond du Lac Co., WI. Pat's info shows that Orpha's half-brother, Marcello, lived in Fond du Lac Co., WI, in 1868. An interesting side note: my father's middle name on his birth certificate was Marcello, obviously named after Orpha's half-brother. My Dad's middle name was later changed to 'Mack' by his parents for reasons unknown. Pat and I wondered what may have happened to Marcello and the other Blanchard children. Pat had the name 'Admiler' in quotes after the name Adeloner but did not give reasons for this. Also, she later shows the name (in quotes) as 'Admilmer.' Further, Pat shows my ggrandmother as being referred to as "Orfelia" at age 5 living with her parents in Schuyler Falls, Clinton Co., NY (this info may have been taken from the 1850 census). Pat was not able to provide any death dates for David Blanchard's children other than what I gave her about my ggrandmother. We were wondering what became of Orpha's siblings. Pat did give me some info about marriages and children for some of Orpha's sisters and brothers which I will provide upon request. Anyone know anything else about these children of David Blanchard and his two wives? Am also interested in knowing more about my gggrandmother Lorain Perry's family. Would appreciate hearing from you if you do have additional info. Tom Wilde mailto:wildeman1@home.com
