Re. the message from Sue B <Shaw110@buffnet.net> and her trip to the Library. In the text of my great grandfather, H. Percy Blanchard, he refers to getting assistance from Mrs Louise (Blanchard) Bethune of 215 Franklin St., Buffalo, N.Y. Her lineage is as follows: Thomas(1); George(2); George(3); William(4); Abiel(5) in the Revolution; Thomas(6); and Dalson Wallace(7), her father. There was some reference to this material in the 'New England Historical and Genealogical Registry' Vol.60. Her work was to be published about 1929 under the name 'Blanchards in America'. I was looking for information on this material back in Oct 1995 when I had just got on the Net and contacted Fletch for the first time. I was interested to see if Mrs. Bethune had any reference to H. Percy. I have seen other Blanchard lineages which refer to his 'digging' in their early ancestry. Many of us have communicated our interests in the whereabouts of her work and also the work of J. Crawford Hartman, of New York, ie. JCHY mentioned in earlier messages, whose wife was of Blanchard lineage, who at present, we (or at least myself) do not have the exact lineage. I am sure all of the Group's interest will be with you in this search (hoping for this elusive Xmas gift). Yours in searching, Rannie Blanchard, Mt.
