I am a descendant of Marcia Blanchard and Oliver Everet Manning and of their daughter Marcia Ann Eliza Manning, who m. Peter Lyman Surdam. So I am a cousin of "georgeann" and I will be glad to share information, if I can be of help. Marcia Blanchard's parents were John BLANCHARD and Persis HARWOOD. I have searched for John's father, but have not been able to identify him. Does anyone know who his father was? If so, please help me out on this. Ken
