Hi, My name is Edward Blanchard. I live in the upper peninsula of Michigan. My g-g-grandfather was Elijah Blanchard 1817-1878. He was born in either New York or Pennsylvania. He married Rhoda Tyler in 1842 at Bath, New York and moved to Michigan about 1850. They had four children: Charles, Ruth, Adelbert, and Edgar. Charles and Ruth were born in New York. Adelbert and Edgar were born in Michigan. Elijah and Rhoda moved to Mecosta County, Michigan in about 1865 and homesteaded there. I have found an Elijah Blanchard in the census records of New York, but the dates and spouse don't seem to match. I would appreciate any help, I'm at a dead-end. I would also be glad to share any information I have after they arrived in Michigan. I have quite a bit of information on the four children. a
