Homes and Habits of Blandford, by Sumner Gilbert Wood
In 1901, Sumner Gilbert Wood moved to Blandford, the home of his paternal grandmother of seven generations back. He came to this town as the new pastor of both Congregational Churches. During his pastorate he acquired an interest in the town's history and began research which resulted in the publication of three books: Taverns and Turnpikes of Blandford (1908, Ulster Scots and Blandford Scouts (1928), and Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolution from Blandford (1933). This final book, Homes and Habits of Blandford was published by the Blandford Historical Society in 1985 to celebrate the town's 250th anniversary.
Book: The White Church of Blandford by Nicholas Aieta
From the Images of America Series comes a book about the White Church of Blandford which was designed in 1822 by Isaac Damon.
Working in conjunction with the Blandford Historical Society, historian Nicholas J. Aieta of Westfield State University has pulled images from the Library of Congress and the society's archives. The writings of Blandford residents, past and present, have helped develop the story of the church's birth, physical decline, and eventual resurrection as a community center.
Blandford News, 1948
This book contains articles from the Springfield newspapers from 1948 that are about the people, places and events of Blandford, Massachusetts. The index makes it easy to find articles about family members, places in town, events at the church, etc.

The Descendants of William Horatio and Eliza (Hanchett) Wyman of Blandford Massachusetts
According to family tradition, William Horatio Wyman ran away from home at ten years old and travelled over 100 miles to Westfield, Massachusetts where he apprenticed with blacksmith Moses Hanchett. He served his apprenticeship successfully, married Eliza, the blacksmith’s daughter, and they moved to Blandford where he opened his own blacksmithing business. The shop began around 1840 and was continued by Horatio’s son, William and then grandson, Ernest. With the advent of the automobile, the shop eventually closed and was torn down in 1923. To this day there are still Wymans living on the street where Horatio’s blacksmith shop was located. Descended from a runaway who wanted no contact with his family after he left, the Wymans have become a close family who continue to gather in Blandford to share family stories and photos. Beyond genealogy, this book is a collection of some of the many anecdotes and snapshots that have been archived over the past 175 years.
Wyman Family Recipes
The Wyman family has been a part of Blandford since Horatio and Eliza (Hanchett) Wyman moved to town in 1840. In 2017, 245 Wyman descendants from all of the country gathered for a weekend at the White Church to share family stories and photos. During the preparations for the reunion they shared favorite family recipes that were put together in this cookbook.
Included in this treasure is Edna (Wyman) Hart's Chicken Pie recipe that was featured in Yankee Magazine. Many recipes were blue ribbon winners at the Blandford Fair. To add an historical perspective there are a couple of recipes from Emma (Reed) Wyman's cookbook from the late 1800s including Hogs Head Cheese.
The Blair Family Of New England Revisited
William and his wife visited Londonderry in 1891, where they "met and interviewed old residents who were familiar with the history of that famous place, securing also some rare publications. These were apparently enough to show them that their immigrant ancestor was from that area, and William hired a researcher, Miss Mary Semple, of Mounthill, Larne, County Antrim, to undertake further research. Her letters relevant to Aghadowey, County Derry, Ulster are discussed in a later chapter of this book, but were taken by William to prove that Robert, William and Abraham Blair were living in the town, and that it was from there that they immigrated.
The Blair Family of New England, was commissioned by William's wife, Sarah Maria (Seymour) Blair and his only surviving son, Edward Tyler Blair, at the time of William's death in 1899. William Blair, with his researchers, Mary Semple and Emily Wilder Leavitt, very importantly laid out a framework upon which researchers have since been able to build their individual lineages. As was customary of the time, although records were searched and data gathered, few source citations were given in the 1900 book. The purpose of the current volume is to find sources for the data given, and to update and expand the lineages as much as possible.
In 1900, William, and his researchers had access to family documents and memories no longer available. It is with humble appreciation to them that this current volume is dedicated; they saved data that preserved not only the direct line in which William descended, but provided connections to the broader family - to all the lines of the children of Robert and Isabella, and their descendants.
As with any genealogical work, this book was compiled upon the research of countless past genealogists. A special acknowledgment is due to Elsie Thoresen, whose work makes up the major portion of Chapter A.6, William Blair of Nova Scotia, and who kindly called me to offer her extensive notebooks for my use. I also owe John K. Leppman special acknowledgment for allowing me to quote his unpublished work on William Blair of Framingham. The Blair Society for Genealogical Research opened its collection for my use, as did the Blandford, Massachusetts Historical Society. The work of the late Doris W. Hayden, for her eighteen-volume Families of Blandford, and her daughter, Jean Hayden York, for many hours of consultation, must also be especially acknowledged, as well as the other early Blandford historians who so carefully kept family records, gave talks on the history of the town, and wrote books; Rev. Sumner Gilbert Wood compiled four books on Blandford that are very important in tracing Blairs in its early history.
The current work does not pretend to be an exhaustive authority on the New England Blair families. It is rather a visitation and collection of data towards that goal. Assumptions and speculations are sometimes included, posing puzzles for those who would later take them up. Some lines are followed down, some are not; some researched more thoroughly than others. The intent is that the data given will be more readily available to the next visitor to the New England Blair families than what I found, and that researchers will build upon what is included.
