Hi! Here's the rest of Pat B. Curry's responses to your queries on the Nov-Dec BLANCHARD Digests. Again, if you want to correspond directly with her (she has indicated in several of her responses that she would like to hear from you) then you may write to her at the following address: Mrs. Pat B. Curry 3414 Fleetwood Dr. Richmond, CA 94803-2012 Part II To J. Chandler & others -- re some early NATHANIEL BLANCHARD'S: --NATHANIEL [b 1755/74 per combined 1790, 1800 census]; m 1792 Sarah BUTTERFIELD; res Dunstable, NH at least to Nov 1801 [deed]. Sons incl. Simeon Butterfield [1792], Nathaniel [1796], Jonathan Cummings [1798], Isaac [1801]. This family does not quite fit any of 1810--> Dunstable Nath's. -->Suggest as theory: This Nath. was b c1758/59 to Nathaniel & Elizabeth (Rolfe) Blanchard of "Mile Slip", Hillsb., NH [per the father's 1766+ probate] & thus would be Nathaniel-6 in the line of "Joseph-1". His son Jonathan Cummings could have been named after the husband of his Aunt Elizabeth... --Does anyone know where this Nath. & Sarah died or more about their children? Son Simeon seems to have gone to Groton, MA & married there. Did son Nathaniel marry Alice BLANEY & live in Lynn/Swampscott, Essex Co., MA? Is anything known about sons Jonathan C. & Isaac? -NATHANIEL [bp 1769, Roxbury, MA], son of Nath. & Elizabeth (Perry) Blanchard. Theory is they are desc. of Nathaniel-2 of Weymouth, MA [& of Thomas-1]. The father [Nath. Sr.] was probably b 1734 in Braintree, MA. The son [bp 1769] may be in Boston, MA by 1794; M1: Abigail Curtin & M2: Mary Kendall; 5 children ident. Both father & son were cordwainers... Re other early NATHANIEL BLANCHARD'S of NH: --Among desc. of ["Joseph"-1 & John-2 of Dunstable: -NATHANIEL-3 [1674-1706], son of John; Wife Lydia ____ & daughter Susannah d in same Indian attack. -NATHANIEL-4 [1705-d by 1709?], son of Nathaniel & Lydia; probably was the child, ae 2 3/4 years who died, having been cared for by his Uncle Joseph Blanchard [per probate records] -->Among desc. of Thomas-1 & Samuel-2: -NATHANIEL-6 [1760-c1835], son of Jacob & Rebecca Wife Anna Green [1762-1837]; Res Groton, MA to c1807 & in 1818 & Dunstable, NH [c1808---> ]. Children incl. Jacob & Esquire. Note: Dunstable records [deed & census] seem to show a close relationship to a GIDEON & EBENEZER BLANCHARD [lineage unknown] who might be brothers of Nath. but whose births are not in Groton, MA VR. -NATHANIEL [b 1794, Westmoreland, NH--may have d Washington, DC] son of Nathaniel-5 & Sarah (Bell). Did he marry Eunice Alexander in 1825, Plainfield, NH? [His brother Henry was in Plainfield c1829/30...] Note several other NATHANIEL's with incomplete records: --Who was the NATHANIEL [b 1765/84] listed in 1810 Merrimack, Hillsb., NH? -Among other desc. of "Joseph-1": -NATHANIEL-4 [1709, Chelmsford, MA], son of THOMAS-3 [b 1668] & Ruth Adams of MA & Dunstable, NH. This Nath. & wife Esther Nutting res. Dunstable, NH & Groton, MA & he may have died before 1732 probate notes of grandfather Peletiah Adams. [Have no data on wife Esther Nutting] NATHANIEL-5 [b 14 Feb "___"[?c1730], Groton, MA; d _____[?] [son of Nathaniel & Esther above] ********************* LAA21937@endeavor.flash.net "Caroline Price" Re John Thomas BLANCHARD [1870, MS- ] & family of TX -->Additional suggestions: This man & his parents should be in the 1880 Soundex listings in MS, AR or TX. The 1900 Soundex for the same 3 states should identify John T., his brother William C. & possibly his parents. ****************** To: JCHBN@CUVMB.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU "John F. Chandler" Re VR in Exeter "News-Letter" provided by J. Tuttle-- --Mrs. Lydia Blanchard who died in Lowell, MA & was bur Exeter, NH: She's probably Lydia BOARDMAN who married 1809 in Exeter to AMOS BLANCHARD [listed 1810 in Exeter, NH]. He is probably Amos-7 [...Sam.-2 Thos.-1], b 1789; son of Amos & Lavinia who were known to be in Exeter c1805-07 before moving to Lynn, MA. Have no confirmed data on res. of Amos & Lydia after 1810, his death or on any children. [Amos might be listed in Methuen, Essex, MA in 1830 [??] --Query re others in the "NewsLetter": Can anyone identify -A. W. BLANCHARD, of Boston, MA who m 1843 Sarah Jane SMITH -ANNA B. BLANCHARD who m 1848, Concord, NH to Charles A. TUFTS -ELIZA J. BLANCHARD who m 1833, Exeter, NH to Thos. G. MORSE -->And many thanks to Tuttle for these newspaper abstracts! ***************** Re the RICHARD BLANCHARD's of Northfield, NH: --The Richard listed 1790-1810 seems to be Richard, bp 1727 in Durham, NH; son of Richard Blanchard & Sarah (Reynolds) Head. This man & his 2nd wife Mary Hancock had 10 known children born from 1769 to 1791 & he and his brother were among the first settlers of Northfield. According to desc. of his daughter Jane [DAR Lin Bks 75:318; 78:7], Richard died in Apr 1814; however the Hogdon Cem. in Northfield shows he was ae 37 and the Rockingham Co., probate filed in May 1814 for a Richard "Jr." seems to be for the Richard, son of Benjamin & Azuba. [Note: He would have been called "Jr." because of the presence in town of an older man of the same name.] --From the Rockingham deed indexes, I have many listings to be checked in order to sort out the multiple Richard's, Benjamin's & others in Northfield & Canterbury... Will share tentative data & sources for this line [particularly with someone able to check the actual deeds on my list]. *************** To Karen Sutliffe, John Chandler et al: Re small cem. on family farm, Harpersfield, Ashtab., OH [aka "South River Road Cem." in a DAR compilation]. - Main monument: "Abigail" - She is Abigail, wife of Obed; and died 5 Dec 1894, ae 82y. OBED d 3 Jul 1886, ae 75 -ANDREW P. [1848-1896] is a son of Obed -AARON [1795, Monson, MA; d 1880] is probably Obed's brother. Of the families in Monson, MA; [desc. of Samuel-2, Thomas-1] -JONATHAN JR & CHESTER BLANCHARD ident. as sons of JONATHAN-5 in Barbour's Coll. of VR in Conn. Many of the children of Jonathan-6 have been tentatively identified by a study of Hampden Co., MA deeds & probate & interaction in Worc. Co., MA deeds. Of these, Aaron, Dwight & Obed Blanchard were in Ashtabula Co., OH. *************** To: JUTUTTLE@aol.com Re Pembroke, NH marriage of "Abel" Blanchard & Molly Eastman on 19 Feb 1784. Your notes are a correct transcription; however this man is actually ABIEL Blanchard, brother of Abel who marr. Molly's sister Elizabeth. Historians/genealogists constantly confuse the 2 men, but Peacham, VT & probate records sort them out. -->Please write for exchange of data & sources. Pat B. Curry, 3414 Fleetwood Dr., Richmond, CA 94803-2012 End Part II I know I'm repeating myself but, if you want the "straight scoop" please contact Pat directly via smail.
