Janet, Yes, your line is part of the "standard" Rhode Island Blanchard family. A few comments: > Moses Blanchard b. 1710 Providence RI d. 1 Apr 1771 I've seen those dates before, but have not yet confirmed them. > married Anne Whaley in Warwick RI 1 Jan 1734/5 The marriage is in the Warwick VR, and the record there says explicitly that Moses was son of William and Ann daughter of Samuel. > Samuel Blanchard b. 18 Aug 1750 prob RI, d. 6 Oct 1824 Samuel's birth is in the Coventry VR (doesn't list the mother's name). He also died in Coventry and was buried there in cemetery #99. His will of 1824 mentions a daughter Sally Letson, among others, but none of his children's births were entered in the Coventry VR, nor is her marriage entered there. John
