The connection between the Blanchards of C. and of Northfield is not clear, but those of Northfield claim descent from the same ancestor, Thomas, the Huguenot, who came to America in 1639 in the ship Jonathan and settled in Braintree, Mass., in 1646. It was a Benjamin Blanchard who was the first settler in Northfield, and he went up from the fort in C. in 1760 through the unbroken forest to the foot of Bay Hill and located on the farm later owned by Judge Peter Wadleigh. Having made a clearing and erected a shelter, he went back for his wife, Bridget Fitzgerald, and nine children (History of Northfield, Part II, p. 23). Benjamin's father was scalped by the Indians in their raid on C. in 1746, near his home not far from the fort.The father's name is given as both Benjamin and Richard (see Chapter II, Vol. I of C. History). 1. BENJAMIN BLANCHARD was probably a scout on duty in C. in 1748 after the date of his father's death, and he signed with others a petition to the Provincial Government in 1748 for protecting the grist mill of Henry Lovejoy in West Concord (Bouton's History of Concord, Page 176).
