Hello fellow listers. Is anyone researching any, or all, of the above named people ??? Their mother was Hester Brown Wilson Blanchard, who died in 1889, and is buried in Cabell Co., WV, and, who married Joseph Benjamin Blanchard in 1879 in Cabell Co. Hester & Joseph (from NC), produced Gordon B., b Sept 1880, Maggie E. (or L) b Oct 1883, and Mary Cleveland b Dec 1886, presumably all in Cabell Co. Joseph B. Blanchard was my grandfather, as the result of his 'marriage', in 1892/3, to one Ella Tomlinson, (my grandmother), after the death of Hester. Joseph & Ella produced, in addition to the 3 above, 3 daughters, Leah, b Sept 1894. Naomi, b June 1896, both born in Cabell Co., and finally, Wilma L. (my mother), born 12 July, 1906 in Fayette Co., WV. Joseph, Ella and the 6 kids are listed in the 1900 Cabell Co., census. What I'm seeking is information on the parents of Ella Tomlinson Blanchard, a name which, alone, smacks me into the proverbial brick wall. I'm thinking that perhaps inasmuch as she was the step-mother to Gordon, Maggie and Mary, that a researcher just might have information on Ella's parentage. Any help greatly appreciated, for which I give thanks in advance. Respectfully, Jay R. Smith Toledo, OHIO
