Interesting dialogue about the Blanchards and Bensons here.Perhaps you all may help me make a connection.My Malinda Blanchard was born appx. 1807 in New York and married Lewis Barber Benson.Lewis was born in Fabius, Onondaga County, New York and lived there with his parents and siblings until about 1818-1819 where his parents moved to Charlestown, Clark Co., Indiana.The family travelled down the Ohio River on a raft. Lewis and Malinda were married July 3, 1824 in Montgomery Co., Indiana.Onondaga County is immediately north of Cortland County New York.I have the Bensons traced back to John Benson the original immigrant but need help with the Blanchards.Lewis's parents were Benjamin Benson and Keziah Messinger.
