They were in the 1860 Census, ages George 74, Caroline 70, both born Wuerttemberg. Everyone seems to have Caroline confused with Ursula (Uhley) Blair. Ursula was married to another George Blair, they also lived in Hepburn Twp. and are buried at Stoltz Cemetery in Hepburn Twp. Caroline and Ursula are absolutely 2 different persons, both married to two different George Blairs. A known daughter of George Blair and Ursula ?-Blair was named Anna Mary Blair. She married Joseph Aderhold and "Uhley Blair" can be found in the 1860 Hepburn Twp. Census listed with the Joseph Aderhold Family. She was Anna Mary Blair-Aderhold's mother, a widow in 1860. Jos. and Anna Mary Aderhold are buried at Stoltz Cemetery also. Caroline Blair was born in Wuerttemberg @1789 and her husband, George Blair, born in Wuerttemberg @1785. If there is any connection to each other, I haven't found it so far. What I have found on-line is a lot of false info for these families.

On my mother's side, her parents were named Blair and Wheldon (not Weldon). I don't think any of them are related to the Blairs in this thread. Going back to my great-grandfather, Neil Blair, all of his children are accounted for. Neil's children, three sons and a daughter, were William, David, Alexander (my grandfather), and... I can't remember his daughter's name, but anyway she stayed in Scotland. William moved, first, to South Africa, then subsequently to British Columbia. He had children in Scotland by one wife; but not children in B.C. by his second wife. It's not clear whether he divorced his first wife, who remained in Scotland. My grandfather Alexander Blair and granduncle David Blair both settled in Delaware. Certainly Alexander and descendants are not part of this lineage - I know them all. I don't think any of David's children are, either. Great-grandfat! her Neil Blair is believed to have settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania, having emigrated to the U. S. to get away from his wife. No children are known to have been born to him after he came to the U. S. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I would NEVER say anyone is wrong in their research, nor that I am correct; however I believe you have two different BLAIR families mixed up. My Patriot ancestor is Major Thomas Blair born about 1738 in Northern Ireland. His daughter, Martha Blair married her first cousin, John L. Blair born October 22, 1767 in Rowan County, NC. The father of this John L. Blair was John D. Blair born about 1742 in Northern Ireland. This of course makes John D. Blair and Major Thomas Blair brothers. These two men MAY have had an older brother named Hugh Blair born about 1718 in Scotland. These three brothers (and others) came to New Castle, Delaware in 1746 and settled in Rising Sun, Pennsylvania, which later became Maryland and they had to leave, going to Rowan County, NC in the 1760's. This Hugh Blair, born about 1718 is suppose to have married Mary Dawson, but I have seen no proof of this marriage. However, one of their sons was named John "The Miller" Blair born April 28, 1749 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and I show that is was this John Blair who married Jean Gamble on February 9, 1771 in Gilford County, NC. I have not seen any proof that this Hugh Blair was the older brother of my Thomas Blair. The father of my Major Thomas Blair is a John Blair believed to have been born about 1700 who MAY have married Martha Blythe, but again, I have seen no proof of this marriage. I do have a land deed where my Thomas Blair named his father as John Blair, but which one is anyone's guess. I also have doubts that Hugh Blair was the brother of my Thomas Blair. My guess is that he was an uncle, but that is just as I said, a guess. I hope this helps you in some way.
