[463] Notes: John & Sarah (WITT) BLANCH emigrated to Van Dieman's Land (Tasmania) in 1836, accompanied by their son John. Another son, William Harnet BLANCH, was born during the long sea voyage. All survived the journey. They were also accompanied by Sarah's brother William WITT, with his wife Harriet and daughter Alice. Unsurprisingly, John & Sarah BLANCH get several mentions in Sarah's brother William WITT's autobiographical "An Account of His Life".
