Nicholas & Edward Blancher
re. Nicholas Blancher was an immagrant from County Tyrone, Ireland. Reported to have arrived in Boston from North Carolina with wife and 3 or 4 kids, abt June of 1743. Traveled with a Christopher Tilden and was living with Dr. Josias Byles. Intersting note is that the Boston Selectmen ordered him and his family to leave town on 3 Aug 1743.
I believe this was Edward (Blancher) Blanchard's Father, who was born abt 1723 in Ireland and died 1784, Winslow, Maine.He served as a Louisburg Soldier in 1744/45. Was married to Rachel Maybrey in 1749 at Attleboro, Mass. and moved to Maine abt 1761 where he was one of the first settlers in Winslow, Maine. If anyone has any info, comments or question, drop me a line.
