During my trip to the USA in 2013, I found the above book at the Allen County Public Library at Fort Wayne. However my main interest was looking for Boyd family connections within this book. The author thinks that these Blairs go back to those Blairs of Milgerholm, Ayrshire, who were part of the Blair of that Ilk. It starts with the “Blairs of Aghadowey, County Antrim (which is actually in County Londonderry), who appear to have been part of the 1718 Migration of Rev James Macgregor and his five ships to Boston. This book starts with Robert Blair and Isabella Rankin. Mary Powers said that she was “updating” the book “The Blair Family of New England” 1900, commissioned by William Blair of Chicago wife Sarah Maria (Seymour) Blair and their son Edward Tyler Blair (I can’t see who the author of this 1900 book). White that book got family history from living people in County Londonderry and from rare publications, but it did not cite many of its sources. So these two books – if you find them in your local Library – may be worth finding for any Blair and Rankin researchers. I also know that there is a connection between the Blairs of that Ilk with various Boyd families – so all these Blair families might be connected to Boyds in Ayrshire (Colin Brooks – has your 1718 Project got these books to add their data to your Project?)
