Hello to the Blanchard List Users, I found your posts in the Archives recently created by Roots-L and what a treasure this resource will be. I could read all of your posts to see if anyone has discussed my line as of yet. Fortunately there were only two months of posts to go through. My Blanchard Line: Bethia BLANCHARD b. abt 1674 in MA. d. 12 Jan 1741/42 in Ipswich, Essex Co. MA. Bethia married Thomas ADAMS b. 1672 in Ipswich, Essex Co. MA. about 1693-94. Children of Bethia BLANCHARD and Thomas ADAMS: Bethia ADAMS b. 1694 Sarah ADAMS b. 1697 Thomas ADAMS b. 1699 Lydia ADAMS b. 1702 Joseph ADAMS b. 1702 Ipswich or Concord MA. d. 10 May 1790 Concord, Middlesex Co. MA. m. 1736 Dorothy MERRIAM b. 1706 Concord daughter of Joseph Merriam and Dorothy BROOKS. Their daughter Rith ADAMS m. Peter FLETCHER 1761. This is my connection. Can you all help me with Bethia BLANCHARD's ancestry ? Please reply to: Emily Irons Rogers MMROGERS@aol.com I will subscribe to the list, but haven't as of yet. Thank you for your time, and I will look forward to hearing back from anyone connected to this family, or receiving information from other researchers. Happy Holidays Emily
