Hello, I would like to thank Marha Blanchard for the PERSI excerpt re: John Saigon. Is there any indication that descendants of Peter or John, who stayed in England, migrated to the United States and/or Canada after the Revolutionary War? If so, that would explain how our ancestor, Alvin Blanchard (unknown dob and location), who appears in Wayne County, NY circa 1827 (unconfirmed as yet) when his son Albert Alvin was born, is "related to Luther Blanchard; the first Colonial wounded in the Revolution at Concord Bridge . . . a great or grand- nephew" according to family legend. I've seen some mention on the list of Blanchards who came to the US and Canada "later" (than Thomas and Joseph), but never made a connection until the John Saigon information appeared. Here is the information I have on this Blanchard line so far: Alvin BLANCHARD was married to Jane EGGLESTON. He died 1835-39 in NY state, and "the family" moved to Branch County, MI. Whether or not the wife remarried is not mentioned. Albert Alvin Blanchard was born in 1827 in Wayne Co, NY. There is mention of "two other children" for the couple, but no names or dates are given. Albert married Mary L. PULLMAN, in Branch Co., MI in 1854. Mary was born in 1832 in Monroe Co., NY; a daughter of Joseph PULLMAN and Lois EGGLESTON, a sister of Alvin's wife Jane. Joseph is allegedly a brother of George Mortimer PULLMAN (Pullman car inventor/innovator). Albert was in the 7th Regiment Michigan Infantry during the Civil War. After the war Albert and his family moved to Lake County, MI. Children of Albert Alvin BLANCHARD and Mary L. PULLMAN: Edwina, b Branch Co., MI Charles, b Branch Co., MI m Stella BLOOD Melissa, b Branch Co., MI m Samuel WOOD Johnathan Hammond, b Branch Co., MI m Virginia BLOOD Anna Jane, b 1868 Lake Co., MI; d 1920; m 1890 to Stephen MILLER Sylvia Viola, b 1871 Lake Co., MI; d 1929 Portland, OR; m 1854, Lake Co., MI to Truman Gee BABCOCK, Frank Albert, b Lake Co., MI Any additional information and/or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! Becky Adkins
