There are several Blair's in Newberry and Fairfield County, SC. It looks like there are about 2 or 3 different lines though. I'm not aware of anyone that has been able to trace their Blair line outside of SC. There is also another Blair line around the Charleston, SC area. A whole bunch of Blair's are currently at dead ends. This John Blair is the son of either George or James Blair of Newberry(I'd have to look back in my notes to be sure). I'm assuming the George Blair in the cemetery is a son of this John(again, I'd have to go back into my notes to see if I have any particulars). There are many frustrated Blair's with ties to this area.
