This file is part of an ongoing effort to track the various Blanchards in New England to the year 1800. The two largest lines are presented here, in the form of a single, interleaved family report. In order to fit the two together, I have called the immigrants Thomas and "Joseph" brothers (something which has been asserted many times, but which has no documentary basis). Several more branches can be tentatively attached to this tree, but are not yet included here. Then again, some branches included may turn out to be attached incorrectly. Any corrections or additions are welcome. Email: john.chandler@alum.mit.edu

Many details presented in this file have been culled from postings to the Blanchard Family Discussion Group or from private correspondence and lack the necessary documentation to be considered proven, but are included anyway because they are "probably" correct. Undocumented data are generally flagged with asterisks.

Source references are denoted by numeric superscripts, and pages for these references are included in curly braces after the source numbers.

The index is demarcated into sections for quick reference by first letter of the first names of BLANCHARDs. Each index entry gives birth and death dates if known and points to the major article for the name in question.

CAUTION: clicking on the Index before the file is fully loaded may prevent the proper completion of loading.

Questions or comments about Blanchards from outside of New England, or later than this file's cutoff date of 1800, are welcomed as well, but should be directed to the Blanchard Family Discussion Group. To subscribe, send email to blanchard-l-request@rootsweb.com with just the word "subscribe" (without the quotes). When your subscription request is processed, you will receive a "welcome" message with detailed instructions on how to post messages to the group, and other useful information.

GENERATION 1

BLANCHARD (male). There is no real evidence concerning his existence. He is included here to fit the two families into one report.

    Children of BLANCHARD:

i

Thomas BLANCHARD, b. 1590, ENG, d. 1654, MA

ii

Joseph BLANCHARD, d. 1637, MA

GENERATION 2

Thomas BLANCHARD, born about 1590 in ENG, son of BLANCHARD. Died 1654 May 21 at Charlestown, MA^{1 {17:156},2,3}. Residence 1637 at Clatford, Hants, ENG^{1 {68:107}}. Relocated 1639 to MA^{2,3,4 {1:268}}, via Jonathan from London. He traveled with his wife and mother-in-law, according to depositions at Ipswich Quarterly Court, made on 1652 Sep 28 by Nicholas Noyes and Anthony Somerby, fellow travelers. (See below.)^{4 {1:268}} He also brought at least his son Samuel, according to an entry in the latter's memo book. He probably brought all his family. He is said to have operated a dairy in Boston. Residence between 1646 and 1650 at Braintree, MA². He filed a petition, 1646 Jun 2 (2d (4)), mentioning that he had taken his step-son Richard Barnes as apprentice and ward after Richard had been with his uncle John Bent for seven years, and asking for security that Richard's legacy would be paid when he came of age.^{1 {9:371}} He witnessed the deed of sale of Henry Flint's house in Braintree in 1648.^{5 {p3}} On 1650/1 Feb 12, then of Braintree, he bought for L200 a house and 200 acres in Malden (Mystic Side) from John Wilson (Sr), pastor of Dorchester. The land was bounded S and W by the Mystic River and N and E by the North River and Nowell's creek. The property to the north was then occupied by Edward Collins.^{6 {1:223},2} The transaction was recorded in the Suffolk Deeds on 1652 Aug 4.^{7,6 {1:223}} There was a separate quitclaim deed for the property, executed by John Wilson Sr and his wife and also by John Jr and his wife, dated 1651 Dec 26, again acknowledging the payment of L200 from Thomas Blanchard.^{6 {1:225}} The land formed a promontory between the two bodies of water and was then known as Wilson's Point, later as Blanchard's Point, and still later as Wellington. It remained a part of Charlestown until 1726, when it was joined to Malden, and was transferred to Medford in 1817. In the meantime, the land had passed from the Blanchard family.⁷ The issue of Richard Barnes' legacy came to a head in 1652, when Richard filed suit against Thomas Blanchard, seeking to collect from him. Thomas claimed there was a receipt, but was unable to produce it. He brought in character witnesses relating his care for his wife Agnes and her mother on the voyage from England, the Noyes and Somerby already mentioned. The testimony: about thirteen yeares past came over in a ship called the Jonathan of London with Thomas Blanchard now of Charlestown, at what time his wife dyed in the ship hee was conceived to be very poore and in greate necessity, by reason of his wives and his childrns sicknesse that the passengers made a gathering for him in the shippe to hilpe to put his child to nurse his wives mother also being sicke all the while wee were at sea and wee knew no othr man that looked to her but Thomas Blanchard, but there was a maide which was her neece - tended her... about the time the ship came to Ancor in Boston Harbor the woman his mother in law dyed, and Thomas Blanchard procured to carry her to shore to be buryed, I know no other man that was about it but hee.^{4 {1:268}} He made a will 1654 May 16 at Charlestown, MA². On 1654 May 22 (22 3d mo), the overseers signed a memorandum saying that their understanding of the wishes of Thomas Blanchard agreed with the written wording of the will.^{1 {17:156}} Inventory 1654 May 25^{1 {17:156}}. His will was proved 1654 Jun 20 in Middlesex Co, MA^{1 {17:156},2,8 {docket 1920}}. Will: mentions wife Mary, son Nathaniel, ward Benjamin Thompson, sons Samuel and George, grandson Joseph of George, other- Mr. Mathews, Malden church, John Barrit, executors sons George & Nathaniel, and witnesses Edward Collines and Joseph Hills.^{1 {17:156}} Will summary: To wife Mary & son Nathaniel use of the new end of dwelling house & dairy house during life of wife, also to her 8 cows & 50 bushels of corn a year, a bed, and 1/3 of other household stuff except the bedding & also my old mare. Also entrust Benjamin Tompson to wife to provide for and fit him for the university, in case his parents please to leave him with her & she live to that time. To son Samuel L80 & all previous gifts, L30 to be paid in cattle & L10 in corn & L10 a year in cattle or corn for 4 years. To sons George & Nathaniel all my farm housing & appurtenances except as expressed to use of wife. To grandchild Joseph Blanchard, son of George, a two-teated heiffer. To Rev. Mr. Matthews & Church of Malden, one cow each & to John Barrett 40s. To son Nathaniel my colt and 6 oxen & to George my horse. Rest to sons George & Nathaniel & they to be executors. Friends Edward Collins and Joseph Hills to be overseers & give them 10s each. Witnesses: Willm Sergeant, Jno Barrett, Joseph Hills.^{1 {17:156}} At death, he owed Mr Shrimpton, Mr Ozban, Rich: Wallis, old Burton, Will: Holloway, Tho: Wibourne, Leivt: Cooke, Mr Stoddard, Edmund Jacson, Will. Davis, Tho: Clarke, Joseph Rocke, Mr Jno Clarke, Tho: Eames, Tho Parker, Mr Edward Collines, Joseph Hills, and Tho: Danforth.^{1 {17:156}}

He married first, 1617 in ENG⁹, Elizabeth, died about 1636, buried 1636 Jul 23 at Goodworth Clatford, Hants, ENG¹⁰. There is a partial gap in the parish records at Goodworth Clatford in the years 1609-1622. This leaves open the possibility that the marriage took place there. On the other hand, there is no evidence for a son Thomas born about 1617.

He married second, 1637 May 15 at St Edmunds, Salisbury, Wilts, ENG^{1 {68:107}}, Agnes BENT (under the name Barnes), born 1602, baptized 1602 Jul 16 at Wayhill, Hants, ENG^{1 {49:65}}, died 1639 on voyage to New England^{2,11,4 {1:268}}. She may have died of childbirth complications, since the 1652 testimony of fellow-travelers mentions the death of a Blanchard child as well.^{4 {1:268}} Then again, it was probably just her infant daughter born in England the previous year. On 1648 Nov 1, both Thomas Blanchard and Peter Noyce gave testimony in Suffolk probate that she had willed her estate to Richard Barnes and Elizabeth Plimton. Her husband's testimony also mentioned payments (of debts) to John Bent and Thomas Plimpton.^{1 {3:267}} Her will was proved 1648 Nov 7 in Suffolk Co, MA^{1 {3:267}}. On the marriage licence, he was listed as a yeoman and widower of Clatford and she a widow of St Edmunds. The licence was obtained the same day by Henry Byley of St Edmunds.

He married third, about 1640 at Malden, MA, Mary MAVERICK? OR SHRIMPTON?, died about 1676. Henry Shrimpton of Boston mentioned his sister, the widow "Blanchette" in his will, proved in 1666. * Her will was proved 1676 Jun 3 in Suffolk Co, MA².

    Thomas BLANCHARD and Mary MAVERICK? OR SHRIMPTON? had no recorded children.


Joseph BLANCHARD, son of BLANCHARD. Died 1637 Dec at Boston, MA¹². Relocated about 1637 to MA. There is no record of his arrival in New England. The death identification is uncertain. There is no evidence linking him to Thomas or to Ann.

Possibly married Ann, died 1662 Jun 24 at Chelmsford, MA¹³. She received a grant of land in Marblehead in 1638 as Widow Blanchard.^{1 {93:162}} She was identified in the Salem church records as Ann Blancherd. She was mentioned as "Goody Blancher" in a court case in Salem, 1645 Jul 8 (8:5).^{4 {1:79},1 {93:162}} Her death was not recorded in Woburn, despite rumors to that effect. All uncertain identifications. See Mdx probate case 1106. *

GENERATION 3

George BLANCHARD, born about 1620 at Hants, ENG, son of Thomas BLANCHARD and Elizabeth. Died 1700 Mar 18 at Charlestown, MA, aged ~82y^14,15,16. Buried at Medford, MA in Salem St cemetery^16,15. There is a partial gap in the parish records at Goodworth Clatford in the years 1609-1622, covering the time of George's birth. Deposed 1653 Apr 29^{1 {62:94}}. In connection with a suit involving Thomas Faxon, George Blancher testified that he lived about four months in a part of the house with Thomas Faxon in the winter of 1651 in Braintree.^{1 {62:94}} He inherited from his father 20 acres near the house, 20 acres of meadow, 1/2 the old field next to the house, 7 acres next to the meadow, and 1/2 of 40 acres pasture.² Deposed 1657 in Middlesex Co, MA, aged 35y². The selectmen of Charlestown were several times called upon to settle disputes over the fencing on the farm after Nathaniel had sold half of his share to their brother Samuel and the rest to John Guppy, while George retained all of his share. Such disputes arose almost yearly from 1661 until 1694. The only other matter in the selectmen's records concerning George Blanchard is an order issued on 1672 Apr 24, citing him for neglecting the proper education of his children, specifically, in the "knowledge and fear of God."⁷ He was listed in 1678 among the inhabitants of Charlestown Mystic side.⁷ He was assessed 6s 6d in the 1688 Charlestown tax roll.^{1 {34:269}} He made a will 1689 Oct 16 at Charlestown, MA². His will was proved 1700 Apr 2 in Middlesex Co, MA^{2,8 {docket 1870}}. The will was disallowed by the court, and a lengthy legal battle ensued. The final settlement gave two shares to the eldest son Joseph and one each to George, Abraham, Elizabeth, Hannah, Ruth, Bethiah, the children of Sarah, and Rachel.² Will: mentions eldest son Joseph by first wife, son George, and son Abraham.²

He married first, 1653 at Malden, MA *, Elizabeth?, born about 1625, died at Medford?, MA.

    George BLANCHARD and Mary had no recorded children.


Thomas BLANCHARD, born 1623², baptized 1623 Oct 12 at Goodworth Clatford, Hants, ENG¹⁰, son of Thomas BLANCHARD and Elizabeth. Died 1651 Feb at Charlestown, MA². No mother is mentioned in the baptism record. Inventory 1651 Feb 14 at Charlestown². He is reported to have married Ann Rolfe of Newbury, but the evidence is sketchy. The probate file for Honor Rolfe contains testimony about the circumstances of her nuncupative will, including a statement that she lay very sick at the house of Thomas Blanchard, apparently in Charlestown. The will mentions a daughter Ann, but does not name her husband, though it does mention a son-in-law Richard Dole.^{4 {1:137}} A Sarah Blanchard, apparently daughter of Thomas, married a Jeremiah Bumstead, according to the latter's son's diary.^{1 {140:312}}

He married about 1645, Ann ROLFE, born 1626 in ENG^{1 {36:143}}. As Widow Blancher, she signed a petition to the General Court dated 1651 Oct 28 (28.8.51) by inhabitants of Charlestown Mystic Side and Malden on behalf of the Malden minister, Mr Matthews.⁷ As Anna Blanchard, she married (2) Richard Gardner, 1651 Oct 18 in Woburn, MA.¹⁷ Gardner posted surety on 1653 Apr 5 (2mo) for making payment of L108 to Mary and Sarah Blanchard, the daughters of his wife.^{1 {140:312}} This marriage is not recorded in Newbury.

    Children of Thomas BLANCHARD and Ann ROLFE:

i

Mary BLANCHARD

ii

Sarah BLANCHARD. She probably married Jeremiah Bumstead. A diary kept by Jeremiah Jr refers to various cousins, aunts, and uncles, including some who seem to be related by way of Blanchards or Gardners.^{1 {140:312}}

Samuel BLANCHARD, born 1629 Aug 6 at Hants, ENG^{1 {60:373}}, son of Thomas BLANCHARD and Elizabeth. Died 1707 Apr 22 at Andover, MA, aged ~80y¹⁸. Buried at Andover in West Parish cemetery^18,19. Occupation: farmer. No mother is mentioned in the baptism record. Relocated 1639 Jun 23 to MA^{1 {60:373}}. The birth of supposed son John in 1655, presumably in Charlestown, was not recorded in the memo book nor in the Charlestown vital records, and this John probably did not exist. In 1657, he bought several parcels of land amounting to 25 acres and another of 40 acres from his brother Nathaniel, as well as a houselot of 10 acres, both in the latter's share of their father's farm on Wilson's Point in Charlestown.² Samuel built a house on the property.⁷ He (or possibly his son Samuel?) served in Capt. Cutler's company in 1676.⁷ He was listed in 1678 among the inhabitants of Charlestown Mystic side.⁷ Admitted 1681 Sep 25 at 1st Church, Charlestown, MA². Relocated 1686 Jun 10 to Andover, MA^{1 {60:373},2}. He settled in the southern part of Andover.²⁰ His house was one of the garrison houses in 1696.²⁰ He retained ownership of his land in Charlestown after removing to Andover, leaving most to the management of his son Joshua, but he sold three parcels to his son John in 1698.² Deposed 1704 in Essex Co, MA, aged 74y². He made a will 1704 Nov 21 at Andover, MA, aged ~75y^{8 {2612, 303:198}}. Samuel's gravestone is white granite imported from England. It is the oldest stone in the burial ground.¹⁹ His will was proved 1707 May 5 at Ipswich, MA^{8 {docket 2612, 303:198}}. Will: mentions wife, sons Joshua of Charlestown, Jonathan, Thomas, daughters Stratton and Osgood, granddaughter Dorothy Storer <19, sons John and Samuel, executor son Jonathan, and witnesses James Johnson, Elizabeth Johnson, and Ambrose Blunt.

He married first, 1655 Jan 3 at Charlestown, MA^{14,2,1 {60:373}}, Mary SWEETSER (under the name Switcher), born 1637, died 1669 Feb 20^{1 {60:373}}. She and her husband are called daughter Mary Blancher and son Samuel Blancher in her father's will, dated 1662.²¹

He married second, 1673 Jun 23 at Charlestown, MA^{14,1 {60:373},2}, Hannah DAGGETT (under the name Blancher), born 1647 at Marshfield, MA, died 1725 Jul 10 at Andover, MA, aged 78y^{18,1 {60:373},2,22}. Daughter of Thomas Daggett of Marshfield. *

    Children of Samuel BLANCHARD and Mary SWEETSER:

i

Samuel BLANCHARD, born 1656 Sep 29^{1 {60:373}}. Died 1678 at Charlestown, MA, from smallpox². His birth was not recorded in Charlestown. There are some indications that he died young and was followed by another Samuel who died of smallpox, but there is no record of the extra death and birth.

His Salem church membership entry is marked "dead" but without a date of death. This may be another William. He was named as a party in a civil court case, 1642 Dec 27 (27:10) in Salem, MA, on a matter of trespass.^{4 {1:45}} Deposed 1643 Oct 26 at Salem, MA^{4 {1:57}}.

She married (2) George Manning, 1656 Mar 13 (1655 1st mo) in Boston, MA.¹² They had several more children.^{1 {93:162}} After Manning's death, she lived with her father and is probably the Hannah Manning who died in Boston, 1712 Apr 14, and is buried at Kings Chapel. *^{1 {93:162}} George Manning's will was proved 1677 Oct 22.^{1 {93:162}}

    Children of William BLANCHARD and Hannah EVERILL:

i

Hannah BLANCHARD, born 1648 Jan 2 at Boston, MA. She was probably raised by her step-father George Manning, who mentioned her in his will as the wife of Robert Wakum.^{1 {93:162}} She reconfirmed the receipt for the L20 legacy from her father on 1697 Jul 26 in Suffolk Co, under the name Hannah Matthews.^{6 {14:383}}

Married MATTHEWS.

Bethiah BLANCHARD, born 1649 Nov 27 at Boston, MA. Died young.

iii

John BLANCHARD, baptized 1651 May 8 at Boston, MA¹². Died young. No mother was listed on the baptism record.

iv

John BLANCHARD, born 1652 Sep 18 at Boston, MA¹². Died 1678 Jul 24 at Newbury, MA, from smallpox³¹. No mother was listed on the baptism record. He was probably raised by his namesake uncle in Chelmsford. This death was also recorded in Chelmsford on the 23rd.¹³ The death identification is uncertain.

John BLANCHARD, son of Joseph BLANCHARD and Ann. Died 1694 at Dunstable, MA³². He bore the title "Dea.". He was supposedly born 1631 Mar 8, but that is probably too late. Deposed 1643 Oct 26 at Salem, MA^{4 {1:57},1 {93:162}}. Freeman 1649 May 2 in MA^{30,1 {93:162},27}. On 1658 Mar 1, he was listed as owner of lot 99 in Charlestown,^{1 {93:162}} amounting to 37 acres, along with 6 acres of commons.² He was appointed to a committee to lay out Chelmsford highways in 1671.^{1 {93:162}} He was long supposed to have been the son of immigrant Thomas, but the evidence of the probate records for his brother William and mother Ann refute that notion, as Stearns noted in 1911.³² The connection between the Chelmsford and Dunstable stages of John's life is not well documented, aside from the indirect evidence of Deacon John's will. It is interesting that Chelmsford records the death of a John Blanchard in 1678, but that death was presumably Deacon John's nephew. John and wife Hannah sold their homestead in Chelmsford to Capt Thomas Henchman on 1680 Dec 27.^{1 {93:162}} John was one of the earliest settlers in Dunstable.³³ Of the early proprietors of Dunstable, he was one of the few actually in residence by the early 1680's.³³ Jonathan Tyng deeded land to 25 resident proprietors on 1683 Jan 29, including John Blanchard and his future son-in-law Robert Parris.^{34,6 {13:64}} He was one of the founders of the church in Dunstable, 1685 Dec 16, and he was chosen deacon.^27,33 He was chosen selectman for Dunstable in 1683, 1685, and 1689.^{1 {93:162}} He signed two petitions to the General Court in 1689 for soldiers to defend Dunstable.³³ He made a will 1694 Mar 13 at Dunstable, MA^2,35. His will was proved 1694 Apr 10 in Middlesex Co, MA^{2,8 {docket 1885},36 {2:785}}. Will: mentions son Benjamin...^{1 {93:162}} Will: mentions wife Hannah, sons Benjamin, Joseph, James, Thomas, and Nathaniel, and daughters Hannah Reed, Elizabeth Parrish, Sarah, and Mary.^{36 {2:785},35} The Medford history gives the 2nd daughter as Hannah Parrish. Wife Hannah and son Benjamin to be executors. Witnesses Thomas Clark, John Cummings Jr. Proved 1696(??) Apr 20. *

He married first, about 1658^{1 {93:162}}, Elizabeth HILLS, died about 1662^{32,1 {93:162}}.

On 1727 May 2, he gave 50 acres in Killingly to his son George in return for an annuity for himself and his wife, if any.

The heirs: widow Elizabeth, Nathaniel, George & William Blanchard, Lydia & William Spaulding, Sarah Bixby, and Mercy Blanchard. There is a persistent rumor that George had two different wives named Sarah, the second being the daughter of William Monroe of Lexington. The rumor owes much of its persistence to its ill-advised inclusion in the expanded History of Lexington, evidently at the instigation of William Cutter. However, (1) there is no record of the death of the first Sarah or a second marriage in either Charlestown or Lexington, (2) there is no mention of a daughter Sarah in William Monroe's will, and (3) William's daughter Sarah was baptized as a teenager in the church at Cambridge Farms (Lexington) just nine years before George Blanchard and his wife Sarah were both baptized at the same church.^45,43,14

Joseph BLANCHARD 3rd, born 1716 Mar 23 at Charlestown, MA¹⁴, son of Joseph BLANCHARD and Elizabeth WHITTEMORE. Occupation: carpenter. Residence 1748 at Dunstable, MA. In 1755, Joseph Blanchard of Littleton, housewright, bought land in Harvard from Benjamin and Abigail Pratt.^{44,6 {35:451,36:403}} Oddly enough, this Joseph's son Joseph was born in Harvard in 1754. He made a will at Harvard, MA⁴⁴. In 1773, Joseph and Betsey Blanchard and others brought suit in Middlesex Co against other heirs of Joseph Spaulding over the distribution of land in Dunstable.⁴⁴ Does the record show they resided in Harvard? If not, there could actually be two pairs of Joseph and Betty. * The clearest evidence linking them is the fact that the birth of Lysias is recorded both at Dunstable and at Littleton. His will was proved 1788 Jan 1 in Worcester Co, MA^{44,8 {docket 5927}}. Will: mentions wife Betty, son Joseph who died at sea, eldest son Lysias, son Abel, youngest son Simon, eldest daughter Elizabeth, daughter Jemima, and youngest daughter Phebe.

He married 1748 at Westford, MA³⁷, Betty SPAULDING, born 1728 Dec 4 at Westford³², died 1799 Oct 7 at Harvard, MA¹⁰⁶.

He married 1751 Dec 12 at Littleton⁷⁰, Sarah FALES (under the name Fails), born about 1730. Occupation: housewife. There are no Fales or Vales vital records in Littleton besides her marriage, nor any of relevance in Acton, Attleborough, Billerica, Brookline, Cambridge, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Concord, Groton, Harvard, Lexington, Marlborough, Medfield, Medford, Medway, Natick, Newton, Shirley, Southborough, Stow, Sudbury, or Westford. There are possibly matching births in Dedham and Wrentham, but all probably stayed. In 1775, Aaron Brown and his wife Sarah and children Rachel, Boaz and Elizabeth Brown and Mary Blanchard were warned out of Littleton.⁷⁰

In 1773, after his father died, he chose Ephraim Hosmer as guardian.^{8 {docket 1917},69} He was apprenticed to Jonathan Hosmer of Acton to be a mason.⁶⁹ Residence 1775 at Acton, MA⁶⁹. He was a member of the Acton Minute Men and was the fifer for the company when it marched to the battle of Concord. He was the first man wounded in the battle. The wound was quickly bandaged, and he rejoined the action, but he died three days later.^68,69 The story of his quick demise may be incorrect. There is a record of Luther Blanchard joining the company of Captain William Smith of Lincoln about 1775 Apr 24 and dying about September of that year.⁶⁹ There is a receipt dated 1775 Jul 7 signed by Luther Blanchard for a service bounty. He was listed in the muster roll of Smith's company as of Aug 1 as a corporal, but was dead by Sep 30.⁶⁹ Smith's company, as part of Colonel Nixon's regiment, took part in the battle of Bunker Hill.⁶⁹ On 1777 Jan 14, the Littleton selectmen petitioned that Aaron Brown not be named administrator for Luther's estate because of his past mishandling of Simon Blanchard's estate.^{8 {docket 1908}}

On 1751 Sep 25, Joseph Jr and Abigail of Littleton, along with Thomas and Sarah of Sutton, sold 120 acres in Littleton to Capt Benjamin Read of Lexington.^{44,6 {49:350}} On 1751 Nov 25, Joseph of Sutton, along with Thomas of Sutton, bought 42 acres in Sutton from T. Holden.^{44,6 {31:126}} On 1784 Sep 3, Joseph made an agrement with his son John, transferring a house and 46 acres in Sutton to John. In return, John was to let his father Joseph and uncle Thomas live in the house and to provide for them. After both their deaths, John was to pay sums to his sister Abigail Marsh, John Brewer Blanchard son of Samuel, and Joseph Jr son of Joseph dec.^{44,6 {94:205,97:33}} On 1784 Sep 6, Joseph sold 7 1/2 acres in Sutton to Thomas Jr.^{44,6 {97:34}} The joint ownership of land in Littleton, along with the names of their wives and their moves to Sutton, identifies this Joseph as son of Thomas. Similarly, the 1784 agreement identifies Joseph's children and establishes the existence of a brother Thomas. On 1792 Dec 20, he released his interest in 48 acres in Sutton to Jonathan Maynard (apparently the property from the annuity).^{44,6 {117:123}} There is no probate file for Joseph in Worcester Co.⁴⁴

i

Sarah BLANCHARD, born 1756 Mar 19 at Acton¹¹⁵. Married John ROBBINS, born 1752 Aug 12 at Westford, MA¹⁰⁸. The birth identification hinges on the association of John's mother with Concord and the fact that the Robbins family of Westford seems to vanish from the vital records after 1774.
