Sherry L Gould indicated: This 'home' for Squire and Rachel is exciting for me, thanks! The name always intrigued me when I encountered it in the NH VR's, though I never investigated the line. I find Esquire's birth in Groton VR pg. 28 of Vol. 1 and not found in Dunstable VR. The marriage is found in the Dunstable record (pg. 105) and not in the Groton one. s Noah b. 27 Jan. 1822 - (Groton V.R.) Married Emaline Cordelia Powers-Wood 25 July 1844 at Elizabeth, N.J. __________________________________________ I am very interested, Sherry, in the reference to Elizabeth, New Jersey. A friend of mine's great great grandfather, Isaac Blanchard, was born about 1826-27 in New Jersey and was living in Elizabeth, NJ with his wife, Sarah J. Blanchard, in 1850 (according to the 1850 census). This branch of the Blanchard family moved to Newark, NJ and became prominent there. Sherry (or anyone else), do you have any information on Isaac Blanchard or Sarah J. Blanchard (don't know maiden name - - census record indicates she was born in South Carolina)? Thank You - - Richard Horvath
