Surnames: Blair, Cochran Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1ME.2ACEB/1859 Message Board Post: I am trying to identify "Captain" Blair, a veteran of the War of 1812, probably from Pennsylvania, location unknown. He had at least one daughter, Nancy J. Blair, born about 1811 in Pennsylvania. She married William F. Cochran in Pennsylvania and had 8 children. The Cochrans emigrated to Lafayette County Wisconsin before 1851. I do not know if Captain Blair moved to Wisconsin or anywhere else. About 50 years ago the Cochran family had a long rifle that was supposed to have belonged to Captain Blair.
