I've been searching this family for 11 years & have not been able to get past John H. Blair (my gg-grandfather). I can give you most of the info. you asked for. You'll find that on later census they are contradicting to the earlier one's, mainly ab out where John & Anna were born? I've had people check NY & NJ marriage's with nothing yet. I'm assuming from census records that John was born abt. 1822. By 1860 they were in Mt.Carmel, Pa., northumberland Co. & they had children Catherine E. Mary/Virginia, b. in NJ abt. 1853, John D. b. in pa. abt. 1856. 1870/80 same census They had 3 more children ? child b. abt 1871, d. 1878, Susan A & Henrietta. John's wife Anna died in 1879, he remarried Lucinda Zartman in 1882 & had another son Edward, who is my g-grandfather. He was b. in 1883. It looks like they only stayed in Va. a couple of years, moved back to NJ had another daughter & moved on to Pa. I have not been able to find! any death records for John or Lucinda in the Northumberland Co. area. I do have some more info. on some of their childrens marriages. And mega info on his 2nd. wife Lucinda Zartman, very prosperous family.I have done much research in NY for John & Anna with not much luck. Although Dyckman's were prosperous there also. There is even today the Dyckman house that is preserved in NY city, built I believe in 1700's, early 1800's sometime. It is now a museum. There you go, pretty much all I know! I'll be looking forward to hearing from uou. Tammy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
