Surnames: Endsley, Blair Classification: Birth Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/zhB.2ACI/966.1.1 Message Board Post: You are referred to: JOHN BLAIR of Guilford County, North Carolina and Some of His Descendants compiled by Lucy Echels Blair Copyright 1979 by Bean & Lucy (Echels) Blair 708 North 7th Street Lamesa, Texas 79331 page 31: Jane Blair b. 20 Aug 1746 at sea on voyage to America. She was the daughter of Hugh Blair and Mary (Dawson) Blair. She m. James Endsley. He died before Aug 1777. I've posted the Report of sale of his estate in Surry Co NC on the Endsley surname board at Ancestry.com. page 60: John Endsley, son of James Endsley & Jane, his wife, was born the 13th of August 1769. John Endsley died 21 Sep 1828 in Bedford Co TN ( in a part included in Marshall County after its establishment in 1836) and is buried at Round Hill Cemetery, Belfast, Marshall County TN. Note: Practically all the researchers I have seen say John Endsley was b. Guilford Co NC. Guilford County was not established until 1771. Would be more accurate to say he was born in Rowan County. Furthermore, the tract of land James and Jane Endsley lived on was just over the Guilford County line in Surry (Stokes after 1789) after Rowan was divided into Surry and Guilford in 1771.
