    1. [BLAIR-L] Richard Blair in Texas
    2. I am seeking information on Richard Blair, born 1853 in Georgia, of parents born in South Carolina. Richard was in Texas by 1876 when he married Mary C. Ezell. He was in Belton, Bell County, Texas, in 1879 when a daughter was born. There were a number of Blairs in Bell County at that time and Richard could have been connected to one of those families. In 1880 he was in Huntsville, Walker Co., Texas, and listed in the census as a farmer. He and Mary had three daughters: Elizabeth (1877), Mary Ellen (1879) & Martha Lou (1882). Richard left the family shortly before Martha's birth. He became an employee of a railroad and died on a train somewhere near Austin, Texas, in about 1925. Richard had a sister who married a Myers and lived in Hayworth, Oklahoma, in the early 1900s. There were other Richard Blairs in Texas about the same time. One was Richard L. Blair, age 64 in 1920, born Alabama. Another was Richard Blair, age 82, born in Canada. The third was Richard W. Blair, age 47, born in Virginia. None of these are the Richard that I am seeking. I would appreciate any leads. Breck
