Polly, dau. of Roswell Pierce of Putney, Vt., a famous singer of patriotic songs. He (Blanchard) came to Walpole, in 1815 and had a family of 10 ch.

His wife, who survived him many years, possessed in a high degree Christian fortitude in affliction, and gentleness of character in demeanor. He d. July 20, 1847; she d. Sep. 19, 1872, aged, 84.
