Had a large family of which my gggrandmother Lucy Blair who married a Joseph Belcher in OH was one of them. They also had a John etc. Any connections?

Heidi, I know you've queried myself concerning my Jacob Blair, I really respect your tenacity in your search for John Russell Blair, do you have any BLAIR male relatives that have signed up for the DNA test? That may help. As much effort as you've put into your searches, I think you're ready for a genealogy jackpot. John
