In 1837 he came with his parents and brothers and sisters to St. Charles, settling soon after upon the farm two and a half miles north west of town, which was his home for so many years.
He was married in 1851 to Miss Julia Peterson to which union five children were born, four of whom are living. Mrs. Blanchard died in 1875 and a daughter, Mrs. St. Claire, in 1886. The other children are John Blanchard of Oklahoma; Mrs. Andrew Gulig of New Dennison; Mrs. N.H. Anderson of Puyallup, Washington; and A.H. Blanchard Jr. of Carbondale, Colorado.
