For that matter, I have no information on his birth -- is the 1746 figure just a guess based on the year of his marriage? > Would someone please post the children of John Blanchard and Elizabeth > Snell with the associated dates and places? There were two children of John baptized at the 1st Congregational Church of Holliston: Mary on 1773 Oct 17 and Silas on 1774 Sep 18. Unfortunately, the church register does not list the mother, so there is a chance that Elizabeth Snell Blanchard had died in the meantime and been replaced by another wife. John Chandler
