Any info would be greatly >appreciated. Hi, Sandy, The BLAZERs were well established in Guernsey County in the middle to late 1800s. I don't have information on a Susan BLAZER specifically, because she is not in my line that I am aware of. You don't give dates (always a good idea, along with locations, to help establish links), but the Peter BLAZER you mention could be the father of Philip BLAZER, who married into the CRANSTONs. I therefore recorded information about him and his parents that might be of use to you. If you want I can also provide more on Philip's descendants. Most of my information comes from the BLAZER Family Archives, which you should be able to obtain a copy of from the information below.
