It is possible that "Alvin" did not die in NY but is the "Albert" who witnessed the 1839 marriage of "Alvin" and Jane's daughter Emily Jane. [The son Albert Alvin would be only about ae 10-12 in 1839.] The widow Jane might have remarried.

An interested desc. of this family is George C. Watkins, 12 Circle Dr., Lovell, WY 82431-1606 ******************** To: "DFauss1@aol.com" [Don Fauss; 8 Feb 1998] Re LAVINIA BLANCHARD [b 1802, Rockingham, VT; died Essex Co., NY] m Benjamin STAFFORD. She is the daughter of Jonathan Blanchard [1769-1835] & Mary Lovell [1773-1835]. Lavinia Stafford is named in her's father probate & is in the 6th gen. from Samuel-2, Thomas-1. Re MEHITABLE BLANCHARD marr. CHAUNCEY STAFFORD She may be the daughter of Nehemiah & Lucy (Jones) Blanchard of MA & VT and the granddaughter of Joshua & Mehitable (Brown) Blanchard of MA & VT. [Isaac & Calvin, thought to be sons of Nehemiah, also married STAFFORD's] Much of this line is spec- ulative & based on misc. deeds, VR, etc. -- thought to be desc. of Nathaniel-2 Thomas-1. [Will be happy to exchange data..] ******************** Noted query in Dec 1997 re origin of the "WALTER E. BLANCHARD" papers. They are filed at the CT State Library & can be found on LDS film #002,990 Item 6.

[1848-1906]; his marriage can apparently be found in Marriage bk 3:162, Central Falls, RI. [This index named his birthyear & parents but seems not to have included the date or the name of his bride, at least according to my sketchy notes, so thanks for her name & VR] He was supposedly living in Attleboroug, Bristol, MA in 1871. [For more on his family a check of the 1880 soundex of both MA & RI might be helpful] ********************* To: "sfreeman@ptd.net" [Sharon Freeman] query of 6 Mar 1998 --FRANCIS R.

[Thomas is a desc. of Samuel-2 Thomas-1] His birth is in "Boston Births from 1700-1800". He died in 1812 in Armisted, Adams Co., MS [reported in "Columbian Centinal" Boston on 15 Apr 1812]. His identity is proved in part because he & his brother Samuel were merchants in Baltimore, MD c1784-86 before Thomas moved on to Norfolk, VA. *********************** To: Ranald Blanchard & John Buerger Re GEORGE MONROE BLANCHARD [1849- ] & wife HATTIE E. LAWRENCE. George is the son of Levi M. & Eliza (Nutting) Blanchard & is a desc. in the line of "Joseph" & Ann.
