BLAIR who was born to John Wallace and Diane L. (CHITTENDEN) BLAIR about 1870-1872 in St. Lawrence Co., NY. Diane L. (CHITTENDEN) BLAIR died in 1873 and John Wallace BLAIR took Loren to Guthrie Co., IA, where Loren was placed with his aunts, Sally (CHITTENDEN) JORDAN (Edward) and Ellen (CHITTENDEN) RICHARDS (John). Loren was living with Ellen & John RICHARDS in 1880 (Federal Census of Guthrie Center, Guthrie Co., IA) and with Sarah & Edward JORDAN in 1895 (Iowa State Census). I have heard "family rumor" that Loren eventually settled in South Dakota. I am in possession of the bible belonging to Diane L. (CHITTENDEN) BLAIR and want to return it to Loren's descendants.
