Notes:

From: W. L. Irish - His first wife was Elizabeth Blanchard, b. 7-29-1770 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, a sister of Jonathan Blanchard; They [Nathaniel & 2nd wife, Mary] moved to the United States. Their son, Samuel Symonds, married his cousin, Grace Irish, dau. of Simeon and Margaret (Jenkins) Irish.

From: Joe Travis
The above, "Their son, Samuel Symonds", appears to mean Nathaniel & Mary
- but a birthdate of '17 Oct., 1793' ) is associated with Samuel.
Marriage date for Nathaniel & Mary is given as '1-10-1809'. If the
foregoing birth and marriage dates are correct, Samuel must be the child
of Nathaniel & 1st. wife, Elizabeth Blanchard.

Nathaniel married Mary Emery Irish on 10 Jan 1809 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada. Mary (daughter of Levi Irish and Hannah Church) was born on 5 Jun 1775 in Falmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada; died on 15 Dec 1867. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
