Blanchard's From Jay NY area
I know the house my father grew up in , in JAY NY is still standing( its right next to the covered bridge ) I was told a family member lives there now but I do not know who)
I can find nothing on my GREAT grandfather Culver Blanchard,GrandfatherCLAUDE Blanchard ( my grandfather), my great Uncle Louie Blanchard who was a blind man ) and nothing on Fred Blanchard ( Culver's Father)
My father was always told as a kid that there were relatives in Upper Canada but not any exact location...it is my understanding that upper Canada as it was called back then is Ontario today
The info I DO have regarding Culver Blanchard is this:
Culver and Jane Green Blanchards children are :
There were 8 children, Claude, Nora, Nina,Carl, Warren, Lillian, Anna and Fred Blanchard
********************************************************
Claude's fathers name was Fred , rumor has it that Fred Blanchard was murdered at his home on the Jack Fountain Road in Jay , NY and that he also was Indian
Fredhad a brother name Louie(I believe Louie was blind.)Louie was also married to a women named "Bert".
Louie had a maid come in and help him due to his blindness)
"Culver had a sister named
Jenny or spelled Jennie,who married John(jack)Fountain.
I'm hoping to find out who Culvers mother was and who his grandparents wereANY INFO onmy family that seemed to have passed away and no information seems to exist
*****************************************************
Claude Blanchard's , Brothers as was told to me by my father Edward Blanchard were:
Warren , and Carl
Warren Blanchard married Edith Musgrove ( not sure on the spelling of her last name )
Carl Blanchard Married Lillus Greene
All who are buried in Jay Ny
This is some info I found , Hoping someone out there has more to share and possbily relatives who are still living
