Some time ago, I corresponded with Adrienne Wiese and Rick Harwood about this John BLANCHARD. I also posted to BLANCHARD-L so the earlier exchanges are in the archives (1998). As I recall, the starting point was that he m1. Lois Cumming(sic) and had several children; m2. Widow Ann Stowell; m3. Persis Harwood and their dau. married John Keyes. Rick HARWOOD has data on the descendants of John & Persis. Rick's address at that time was harwood@loxinfo.co.th but I believe his current address is Rick.Blanchard@scott.af.mil ( Rick if this is incorrect, please post to the List.) This is probably (see BLANCHARD-L Web Page and database for descendants of Thomas > George) : Z00-(10) [TG1-5(12)] JOHN BLANCHARD father Born: bp 15 May 1737, Medford, Middlesex, MA [6a] Died: [?] -->Father Aaron held mortgages on land in Mansfield, CT bordering on Ashford c1725-1744; resident of Mansfield in 1738. I just received new information from Adrienne about some descendants of John and his first wife Lois Comings, that I will share with you and add to the archives. Adrienne has additional information on the Blanchard- Keyes (Kies) line that she will share so contact her personally.
