Following was received from Pat B. Curry. I have changed ISP's so was delayed in getting this copied to the list. (Tom) To BLANCHARD-L: Am eternally grateful to all of you for the chance to participate in the Blanchard data exchange & feel I've gained far more than I've been able to contribute... Sincerely, Pat B. Curry *************************************** Responses to recent entries on BLANCHARD-L@rootsweb.com by Pat Blanchard Curry, 3414 Fleetwood Dr., Richmond, CA 94803-2012 To "angel6@gte.net" [Donna's Desk] on 20 Apr 1998 Re MONICA [c1760] dau of AARON A [c1740] -- What part of the country are you interested in? I have some loosely organized Aaron's & Monica's, etc in Chowan & Gates Co's, NC. Your expanded data on Aaron & Monica could confirm relationships in a large group possibly desc. from an early Robert. --Will exhange data via "snail-mail" if your evidence fits this family. To "MamaBank@aol.com" [Elizabeth K. Davis] of 20 Apr 1998 Re JOHN G. BLANCHARD [1799-1834] desc. -- Thanks for the added data on his children. Son WILLIAM & 2nd wife are listed in 1880 Monroe Twp, Orange Co., NY with Peter P. PARROTT. Noted in Orange Co. indexes 1895 probate for a William, guard- ianships for "Edwin" & Peter; deeds by sons E. Wyatt & Peter. To "maryjean@stny.1run.com" [maryjean] of 18 Apr 98 Re PHEBE (BLANCHARD) BROWN - I assume you now know she is a desc. of Samuel-2 Thomas-1. When you have time, would appreciate hearing more of husband James Brown [parents, birth & death rec. Have you checked one of the town histories of Wilton, NH for the Brown's? To "5intexas@MC12000.com" [Cecilia] of 2 Apr 1998 Re VOLNEY [1825- ] who went to MI is the son of Oliver & Orinda (Worden) Blanchard and a desc. of the William of RI. Lineage is in Crandall's "Blanchard's of Rhode Island". Was Volney's 2nd wife Mandana IPSON or IMPSON? Would like to know more of the fates of the children in the 2nd family as well as death dates for Volney & Mandana [via snail mail?] To "bless@skipnet.com" [Barbara] of 27 Mar 98 Re JOHN [1737-1823] - He died in Concord, NH; children incl. Joseph, John, Stevens, Sarah, David, Moses. --His son JOHN [1763, Concord, NH - d 1844, Farmington, MI] Wife Hannah PERRIN d 1790, Jericho, VT; their children seem to be James [1785], Elizabeth [1787]. David [1789-d 1790]. John's 2nd wife seems to be a Sarah. Their children were: Riley, Olive, Martha, SOPHIA [b 1799 in VT or CND], John, Sarah, David [b 1808] & Lovina. --Sophia [1799-1889]; m 1820 to Abraham Lackey perhaps in Argentil, CND. Where is Argentil?? This John [1737-1823] is a desc. of Samuel-2 Thomas-1. NOTE: This family has been assembled from a mixed-bag of sources incl. Rev. War Pension Appl., deeds in NY & MI; etc. -->Would be happy to exchange data via snail-mail in order to correct my uncertainties about some of these families... ******************* To "bjb@texomasonline.com" [Pauline Blanchard] of 12 Apr 98 Re WILLIAM [d 1897; bur in Stryker Cem., Yates Co., NY --Was he b 1828, ENG or b c1846 as indicated by his ae of 51+ y when he d in 1897?? His wife Mary J. Davis was b 1838... Thanks for your continued delving into archives for miscellaneous Blanchard's!! **************************** To "btorelli@fmis.net" [Barbara Torelli] of 4 Apr 98 Re SAMUEL BLANCHER who marr. 1727 to Mercy Richardson: Have no confirmed data on his origins; however, a place to start is to study Blancher/Blanchard's in near-association in CT towns or with certain surnames. The near-adjacent towns are Ashford, Stafford, Willington, Windham. NICHOLAS [1794- ], son of Abraham [George-2 Thomas-1], res Stafford, Willington & owned land in Ashford; was marr. by a Rev. J. FISK. A "MARCY" was marr. 1729 to a Wm FISK in Willington when Nicholas was living there. SAMUEL owned land & lived in Windham & Ashford. A study of deeds to date does not show any direct assoc. of these three families [except for the time-line], but CT researchers might find some in court rec., or deeds for other towns, etc. --Does anyone know when & where Samuel died; parents & VR for wife Mercy Richardson? Re dau MARY [1729- ], m Abijah SMITH: There were several deeds 1755-1760 in Ashford, CT by these two of land inherited from Mary's brother Samuel Blancher Jr. [One sale was to an Ezra SMITH] Would like to know when & where Mary died, parents & VR for Abijah Smith, the number of their children... Re a MARY who m 1751, Goshen, CT to Gideon WILCOX?? Does anyone know lineages for this couple? Re BLANCHARD-CLARK associations in CT & PA: -In Ashford, CT Samuel Blancher [above] sold land to Benjamin Clark, of Ashford in 1769. -In early PA [Bradford Co. & vicinity] is a Benj. Clark ["from CT"] whose son-in-law was a DAVID BLANCHARD/BLANCHER who might have been "from CT". Can anyone provide further insight about these associations? Would be happy to exchange known data & sources via snail-mail. **************************** To "jodean@juno.com" [James W. Dean] of 29 Mar 98 Re birthplace of JEREMIAH [c1738- ], son of Theophilus & grand- son of William ["of RI"] The assumption that Jeremiah was b in Scituate, RI is based on the fact that his father was a res. of Scituate when he married both wives [in 1734 & in 1755]. --Would be great if a RI researcher could find documented births for children of Theophilus & Patience. Have always felt that there might be more children in this family other than John & Jeremiah mentioned in Crandall's "Blanchard's of Rhode Island". ********************* To "KGeorge957@aol.com" [Kathi George] of 19 Apr 98 Re your family discoveries at Indian Lake Cem., Hamilton, NY. You mentioned a GEORGE, b 1871, Ft. Ann, Washington, NY. Was this the George listed with an Edward in 1880 Indian Lake, Hamilton, NY [siblings Fred & Robert] who might also be the George, b May 1870, listed with Edward [known to be a son of your Charles & Mary] in 1870 Ft Ann, Washington Co., NY? --Would much appreciate having copy of your notes on family burials in Indian Lake... **************************** Index Monica c1760 res No. Carolina 1998 05 06 Aaron A c1740 res No. Carolina 1998 05 06 William 1880 res Monroe TWP, Orange Co.
