In answer to 4gkids@elltel.nt who is searching for McBrides, I notice one married William Gibson Blair. Although this Blair is not in my line, I noticed some info on him and Sarah Cornelia on Rootsweb's message board's Blair -L Archives. The following info was posted by nelles@mtc.net : Some Blairs settled in Mosinee, Marathon Co. Wisconsin in about 1851. William G. Blair ran a hotel, the Falls City house, until he left for the Civil War in 1861. He was captured and held prisoner during Civil War, and exchanged at Nashville, TN. Too weak to travel home he died in 1864. He is buried in Chattanooga, TN. He was born in Glascow, Scotland, 1808. He married Sara Cornelia, and they came to Mosinee with three children, Lusy F Blair, b 1845 in IL. Charles B. Blair, b 1851, drowned playing in the river July 23, 1860, and William G Blair, b. 1849, who drowned with his brother. Three children died before they reached Mosinee. They had Helena Margaret Blair May 20, 1853, born in Mosinee. She married Ovando Hosford, son of William Hosford, and moved to Lawrence Kansas around 1879. She died in Lawrence Kansas. One of her six children was Clitus Blair Hosford (there is a good article on him on the internet). Clitus S. Blair b. March 28, 1856, in Mosinee. Married a Ella M b. 1853 in PA. Clitus S. was a druggist and for a while, the postmaster of Mosinee.
