Thank you, thank you, thank you, Fletch, for your effort at the New York society! We all owe you a huge debt of gratitude for all you did! I was a little disappointed not to see any mention of the progenitor Blanchard ancestor of my particular interest: JOSEPH, reputed brother to THOMAS. Hartman must've had documents relating to JOSEPH, as he published some of it in the Boston paper. Perhaps all of the JOSEPH papers are in the unexplored files. Again, Thank you!
