Hi Pat and All, Pat said: 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; how- ever the Hodgdon 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]. I have a "Richard Blanshett and Elizabeth Hussey were married 12th July 1686" taken from Marriages in the County of York, ME. Communicated by N J Herrick, Esq. Of Alfred, ME printed in the April 1874, Vol 28, Pg. 117 of the NEHGR. Do you think this Richard ties in, or do you have another placement for him? I am interested in the references available on this knot. I descend from the "other Benjamin" in Canterbury and would like to know more of Richard's ancestry. I will check out the references when time permits, which will not be in the immediate future, but will happen.
