8. | John BLAIR was born about 1720. Notes:
According to information received from the Blair Society for Genealogival Research:
Vol IX, #2 pg 8 " The earliest Blair we have found in Somerset Co., NJ was a John Blair "of Peapack". In 1754 a notice was published in the Philadelphia paper for John Blair of Peapack to pick up his mail in Trenton, NJ. John was also listed
in the day book of a merchant John Van Der Veer in Bedminster Twp Somerset Co., NJ covering May 1, 1767 to Jan 25, 1774. His purchases included rum, snuff, ginger, tar, tobacco, wine, sugar, and a castor hat. He paid his debt in tallow, wheat
and pork. No further word has yet been found in the surviving documentsof that period, but we can hazard a guess that John Blair COULD be the father of five men, three of whom lived in Somerset Co. These three married girls whose families
also lived in Somerset.
Children:
- 4. Robert BLAIR was born in 1748; died on 8 Feb 1800 in Somersett Co., NJ; was buried in Bergemister C., Pluckemin, Somerset Co., NJ.
