My Blanchards following Ira (b. 5-11-1787) and his daughter Mahala (b. 2-27-1823). What particularly caught my eye is your mention of Delavan, WI. I have 2 letters written from Delavan, WI to Mahala - one in 1856 and the other in 1860. The letter dated 1856 was written by Cyntha B. & Samual K. Gregory (perhaps a daughter of Willard?). The other was written by Willard Blanchard with a short note from Charlton M. Gregory. This is the first mention I've seen of "Delavan, WI" and the first I've been able tie in these names with the rest of the family. I'd be more than happy to scan these letters for anyone wanting a copy. Just let me know. And Sue, thanks so much for your post!
