Biography

This profile is part of the Blanchard Name Study.

William was born in 1772. ^[1] The Sturbridge reference says William was born in "Skenesborough". This is the Wikipedia reference: "During the late 17th century, the area was a staging ground for raids between English and French colonies. Whitehall was first called "Skenesborough" in 1759 when it was settled by a land grant to a British officer, Philip Skene (1725-after 1785), who later returned to England, and who was subsequently declared an enemy of the State of New York for his land dealings. During the French and Indian War, the town was one of two major routes connecting the English and French Colonies."^[2]

He passed away in 1854. ^[3]
