One of their granddaughters Jane (or Jean) (1783-1873) married Edward Sherburne Blanchard (1778-1856) in 1802. These are two of my great-great-grandparents on my mother's side.<br />A family legend has it that there was so much intermarriage among the Archibald, Blanchard, and Waddell families in NS because "no one else was good enough".Sailorchronoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918308597161615115noreply@blogger.com
