Mr. Julian Blanchard of New York City, is preparing a lengthy history of this good family, for publication it is hoped, so this book will grant to Dr. Blanchard the privilege of doing his family in his own way, and we feel sure it will be done right, if he follows all the traditions of the Blanchard family. A few stray items will not come amiss, however, and these may have escaped the vigilant eye of said Dr. Julian Blanchard.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium\">The earliest known records of a person by this name, was a grant to Benjamin Blanchard, of 455a \u201cupon Wareck (Warrick) Swamp, at the mouth of Beaver Dam\u201d Oct 16, 1701.
