Hi! I am researching the Family of James H. Blanchard and Nancy (Nannie) Burdette. James
Blanchard was the son of Sarah J. Dicker Blanchard Mayhorn. I am not sure who his father
was. Sarah J. Dicker Blanchard married my 2nd Great-grandfather, Benjamin Franklin
Mayhorn. She was his third wife. They had no children together but she helped my
Great-grandfather raise the children that he and my Great-Great-Grandmother, Melissa Pate
Mayhorn had. I have a big family portrait of the Mayhorns including James Blanchard. From
what I have found Nancy (Nannie) and James had four children: Mary, Harry and James Jr. I
am not sure what the other childs name was however there is a child, Freddie(listed in the
death records) who could have been theirs. James Jr. died in infancy on January 11, 1893
in Evansville, Indiana. James Blanchard SR. died January 11, 1945 at the age of 80 years.
His obituary card says he is survived by his wife Lula J. and there is no mention of any
other survivi!
ng relatives. I have not been able to find out if Mary or Harry survived their childhood
so I do not know if this is the end of this line or not. I have found out who Sarah J.
Dicker's parents and siblings were but would like to know more about the family. If
anyone out there has any information on these families please contact me at:
