    3. I am looking for information on Loren W. BLAIR who was born circa 1870-1872 in either St. Lawrence Co., NY, or in Guthrie Co., IA. His parents were John Wallace and Diane L. (CHITTENDEN) BLAIR. John and Diane L. (CHITTENDEN) BLAIR were married in 1869 in Potsdam, St. Lawrence Co., NY. Diane died on 24 October 1873, probably in St. Lawrence Co., NY. John migrated to Guthrie Co., IA, where Diane's sisters, Sally ( Edward Jordan), Ellen (John Richards), and Ruth (William Bailey), were living. John married a second time to Nancy Elizabeth HOLLENBECK 10 August 1876 in Iowa City, Johnson Co., IA. Loren W. BLAIR was enumerated living with John & Ellen (Chittenden) Richards in the 1880 census in Bear Grove, Guthrie Co., IA. He was described as their nephew. Loren was enumerated in the 1895 Iowa State Census in Guthrie Center, Guthrie Co., IA, living with Edward & Sally (Chittenden) Jordan. He was 23 years old. I don't know where Loren went after that...I can't find him anywhere in census records but it's probably his name was misspelled or I'm simply not looking in the right place. Family lore states he went to South Dakota. Does anybody have any information on this family? Thanks in advance, Sharon Welch St. George, Utah P.S. I have Diane L. (CHITTENDEN) BLAIR'S bible. I want to return it to her descendants if there are any living.
