Notes for THOMAS BLANCHARD:
Thomas Blanchard resided at Clatford, Hants, England in 1637. He then relocated in 1639 to America aboard the "Jonathan of London" and settled in Charlestowne, Massachusetts.

Thomas Blanchard, born about 1590 in England, son of (Unknown) Blanchard. He died 1654 May 21 at Charlestown, MA. His residence in 1637 was at Clatford, Hants, England. He relocated in 1639 to MA., via the 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. He also brought at least his son Samuel, according to an entry in the latter's memo book. He probably brought all of his family. He is said to have operated a dairy in Boston. His residence between 1646 and 1650 was at Braintree, MA. He filed a petition, 1646 Jun 2, 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. He witnessed the deed of sale of Henry Flint's house in Braintree in 1648. 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. The transaction was recorded in the Suffolk Deeds on 1652 Aug 4. 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. 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.

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.

He made a will 1654 May 16 at Charlestown, MA. On 1654 May 22, the overseers signed a memorandum saying that their understanding of the wishes of Thomas Blanchard agreed with the written wording of the will. Inventory 1654 May 25. His will was proved 1654 Jun 20 in Middlesex Co, MA. 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. 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.

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.

He married first, 1617 in ENG, Elizabeth, died about 1636, buried 1636 Jul 23 at Goodworth Clatford, Hants, ENG. 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, Agnes BENT (under the name Barnes), born 1602, baptized 1602 Jul 16 at Wayhill, Hants, ENG, died 1639 on voyage to New England. She may have died of childbirth complications, since the 1652 testimony of fellow-travelers mentions the death of a Blanchard child as well. 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. Her will was proved 1648 Nov 7 in Suffolk Co, MA. 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, MA.
