OK. My name is Kathy Baker. I'm married to Doyle Baker and we have three daughters, Julie, Cynthia and Deborah. My husband's grandmother Mabel Louise (Taft) Baker's mother was Luella Blanchard and that is where the Blanchard's come into play in our family. We live in Rome, Italy but I am from Ohio and my husband from Los Angeles. The line is as follows, so far as I know, and it is very possible it is not 100% correct. It's what I've come up with through family, searching, etc. but I've really just begun. Perhaps someone out there has something to add. I'm just listing the Blanchard's for now and if something tickles your fancy let me know. I just wanted to get on the list. William Blanchard, born ABT 1680, Providence, Rhode Island Willaim Blanchard, (am not sure if this name is misspelled or not), b. 1702, Providence, Rhode Island Isaac Blanchard, b. 1746, Foster, Rhode Island William Blanchard, b. 19 FEB 1764, Foster, Rhode Island This William married Mandilla Hill and had Douglass Farnum Blanchard William later married Martha Hall (I suppose Mandilla died) and had William Penn Blanchard, b. 11 OCT 1805, Foster, Rhode Island. William Penn married Sarah Burlingame Seamans and gave birth to Albert Damon Blanchard, who married Mary C. Burroughs. This is where Curtis Royal comes in: he was born 30 OCT 1867, Foster, Rhode Island. But that's all I have on Curtis Royal. Douglass Farnum Blanchard, b. 25 MAR 1813, Foster, Rhode Island Henry Clinton Blanchard, b. 26 APR 1834, Foster, Rhode Island Luella Blanchard, b. 24 NOV 1858, Uxbridge, Mass.married Charles Sumner Taft Mabel Louise (Taft) Baker is my husband's grandmother There are more children involved but I just put down the basics for now. Hope we can help each other. Kathy
