    3. Hi- Here is info that I have on Reuben and Amelia from "Blanchard of RI " by Adelaide Blanchard Crandall pp 22-23 Reuben Blanchard ( son of John) b 2-1-1762 in W Greenwich RI as given in Clarendon, VT records. The family in Victory, NY gave this date 2-8-1760 and the birth of his wife Amy ? c. 1763. They have his death as 1828 but they did not have the first names, just "father and mother". Their names are shown in a record of births of their first and second children in Clarendon, VT. IOt is not known whether this man went on to Victory or not. At least four of his children did. They are in a list ( kept in the top bureau drawer) given me by Myrttie Parsons at N Victory, NY in the summer of 1936 as follows: Ira b. 5-11-1787 at Clarendon, VT Reuben, Jr. b. 4-18-1790 "" Oliver b. 1793 Electa b. 1797 Benjamin b. 1799 Amelia b. 1801 Caleb b. 1805 Amasa b. 1809 Following info on his father John p 14 John Blanchard (son of Theophilus) m. Abigail? It seems certain that this John who went to Clarendon VT . Mr. Clinton Blanchard ( # 830 ) thinks so. He has done much work on this matter, telephoning to Delevan, WI, Seymour, MO, Harvard, Ill., sending his secretary to look for the long incscription on the stone of Willard Blanchard etc. I got hte records on Johns family from town clerk in Clarendon VT, going there myself in 1936 but finding no trace of Blanchards ever living there....except these records ...they did however record the births of all their children. Elizabeth b. 8-27-1757 Coventry, RI Caleb b. 8-8-1759 " " Reuben b. 2-5-1762 W Grinege, RI John Jr. b. 1-5-1764 Coventry, RI Clark b. 5-20-1766 " " Theophilus ( son of William) more to follow. Hope this helps! Sue in Buffalo
