James Pearl BLAIR was reported to have married Willie Bryant in bible and marriage records but I recently found that her name was BRYAN and that her father was William Bryan and mother Mary E. Hammons... I have a lot of information on the BLAIR, BRYAN and HAMMONS families from this area. Please contact me with any questions.

My ancestor is William Blair (1792-1854) who died and left a will in Cannon Co., TN and a widow Sarah DeHart Blair. Her maiden name (DeHart) has never been proven. Over a period of thirty years research I have discovered that there are basically two lines of Blairs in Cannon County (just north of Coffee County.) I've heard of two names - Black John Blair and Red John Blair. Apparently these families lived next to each other at one time near Short Mountain. The name James Pearl Blair is not familiar to me though there was a James Blair who was son of William. Looking forward to further communication with anyone with ancestors in Middle Tennessee. I would also recommend a membership in the international organization Blair Society for Genealogical Research. We have a very active organization and a database person very talented in connecting lines.

WERE YOUR BLAIRS DESCENDED FROM SOLOMAN BLAIR OF VIRGINIA, GRAINGER COUNTY, TN AND LATER LEXINGTON, HENDERSON COUNTY, TN. SOLOMON BLAIR WAS THE SON OF JAMES BLAIR, SR. AND CATHERINE KING BLAIR, OF AUGUSTA COUNTY, VA, WHO DIED IN GRAINGER COUNTY.

JAMES

I've heard of that possibility of course but never have found proof. Do you think there might be a connection between our two families?

I am afraid not. My group came from Rowan Co. NC to Smith Co. TN and then to Warren and Coffee Co TN.

B. Blair

I don't know of a connection between our lines. Here is a short outline of my line.

What are the dates of your Solomon Blair?

I'm also a descendant of the mysterious William Blair (1792-1854) who died in Cannon Co., Tennessee.

I was scanning through your "short" lineage...WOW, it was amazing. I still haven't figured out how to keep the family lines straight, I might have to study yours to get some hints.

After reading your info, I decided we're not related, but the name combinations in your family are strikingly similar to ones I've come across. It's kind of freaky.

Kudos on a great job! -Mari Blair
