Here is what I have for children of George H Blanchet and Caldona Bufington, who were married 3 July 1874 in Jackson County, Alabama: (1) William Henry Blanchett b. 16 May 1875, Georgia or Alabama, married abt 1896 to Mattie Armstrong b. abt 1877, Alabama (2) Josiah Sy Blancett b. 2 Aug 1879, Georgia, married 19 Jun 1907 in Milam Co., Texas, to Alice Whitely b. abt 1892, Texas. (3) Sarah Jane Blanchet b. Jan 1882, Georgia married abt Jan 1902 in Milam Co., Texas, to Moses M Burkeen b. abt 1878, Texas. (4) Margy Blanchet b. Jan 1884, Texas, married Charlie Gene Smith on Jul 1902 in Milam Co., Texas. They had son Leonard Gibb (Gene) Smith. (5) Leonard Blanchett b. Mar 1893, Texas, married abt 1920 to Ethel Grisham b. abt 1897, Texas. I have listed the spelling of the last name as it appears in the various records; I don't know what spelling the family actually used. The daughter I have as Margy appears to be your grandmother. (The information on Leonard Gene Smith was from an earlier posting you made.) Write to me at email j.wright@comcast.net and I'll be glad to trade information and I'll give you my sources. Janet
