I've traced her family from Nebraska, Indiana to Virginia, but have reached a brick wall with Joseph Blair. From census records, I find that Joseph was in 1850 & 1840, living in Harrison Township., Harrison, Indiana. The age given to him makes his birth sometime around 1790 and his birth place is given as Virginia. His wife Jane is also listed in the 1850 census, and her age give would make her birth around 1800 & her birthplace was also in Virginia. According to "The Early American Marriages: Virginia to 1850," Joseph and Jane were married on 29 Nov 1813 in Pittsylvania, Virgina. Jane and Joseph are listed living together in the 1850 Census, so they were married for a long time. I can find at least two children, Jonathan Blair and Delila Blair, with Jonathan being my Great, Great Grandfather. Jonathan was born in Harrison, Indiana. My question is does anyone have any information about Joseph Blair and his wife Jane? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
