"ORIGIN: Unknown." … "Although the English origin of Ralph Blaisdell has not been uncovered, the surname is found almost exclusively in Lancashire [Nicholas Davis Anc 59]. Partly because of this, there is alongstanding tradition that Blaisdell came to New England on the Angel Gabriel in 1635. Although this is possible, there is no evidence pointing in that direction."
