I am looking for information on Loren W. Blair who was born to John Wallace and Diane L. (Chittenden) Blair about 1870 in St. Lawrence Co., New York, or in Guthrie Co., Iowa. Loren's mother, Diane L. Chittenden, died 24 October 1873, probably in St. Lawrence Co., NY (Potsdam, Brasher, or Louisville). It is possible she died in Guthrie Co., Iowa, as her three sisters and a brother migrated there as early as 1870. I have been unable to find Diane & John Wallace Blair in the 1870 census records either in St. Lawrence Co., NY, OR Guthrie Co., IA. After Diane's death, "Lorn W. Blair" (nephew) is found living in the home of his aunt and uncle, John & Ellen (Chittenden) Richard in Bear Grove, Guthrie Co., IA, at the age of 10. That census states he was born in Iowa. In 1895, 23-year old "Loren Blair" was enumerated living with another uncle and aunt, "Edward T. & Sallie (Chittenden) Jordon (Jordan)" in the Iowa State Census, Guthrie Center, Guthrie Co., IA. In this census, it states Loren was born in New York. Does anyone have information about Loren W. Blair, born about 1870 in either New York or Iowa? I don't know where he went after 1895. His aunts and uncles (who were still living) are enumerated in the 1900 census, still living in Guthrie Co., IA, but Loren is not found anywhere near them. I appreciate any help, Sharon Welch St. George, Utah
