May have lived in "Paugatuck", CT 1662; was in East Hartford in 1682; in Hartford in 1686; no hard data on his origin. His son William [1673- ] might have had a first marriage; did marry Sarah Cole in 1718; two Sep 1720 deeds place him in Providence, RI; he & Sarah are back in Hartford by 1722. [Crandall mentioned a Providence Town Council Warrant served on a William Blanchard in 1720. This was probably the standard Warning Out of Town given to new arrivals who might not be able to support themselves. Have now assumed this warning was given to the man from Hartford.] LAA21937@endeavor.flash.net "Caroline Price" Re: John Thomas BLANCHARD [1870, MS- ] & family of TX -- Have done minimal research in MS & TX.

Re: Stephen Blanchard's date discrepancies -Stephen & Hannah (Blanchard) Blanchard married 19 May 1748 in Andover [their Marriage Intention might have been 14 May 1748.] [Ramsdell's error in calling her Hannah Abbot might be because her mother was an Abbot] -Their son Stephen was born on 4 Jan 1748/49 ["Old Style"] or 4 Jan 1749 in modern usage. His wife was Lucy Adams [1747-1835] NOTE TO ALL: Please write to Pat for exchange of data & sources: Pat B.
