THE BLANCHARD FAMILY -- by Jonathan HUNT
Among the thousands of Huguenots, (French protestants) who fled from
France to save their lives were the BLACHARDs(?). It was originally
spelled BLANCHET, a French word meaning white. But the English take great
liberty with all names; more especially if they can be more easily
pronounced. The name was changed to BLANCHARD.

son, Nathaniel BLANCHARD, was born in England in 1636 and with his father,
emigrated to New England in 1639; married in Charleston, Mass., SUSANNAH
BATES, daughter of Deacon EDWARD BATES of Weymouth, Mass., Dec. 16,
