Mary was born in 1731.
From "Immigrant John Kelso of Pennsylvania & Virginia, His Ancestors and Descendants," by Douglas Kelso, Jr., Memphis, Tenn, 1995, Family History Library film 2055996, item 13. Chapter 3: Kelso & Blair Immigrants
Alexander Kelso, also known as Charles, married Mary Blair in about 1752. Her father was apparently Alexander Blair I and her mother was named Jane, since Jane is the first name shown after his on the immigration list (See Chronology Part II, 1739) and the Blair family records obtained by Don Kelso show that Alexander Blair I was born 1700 in Ireland and married Janey (Jane) Scott. Their known children as found by Mona J. Mattingly who writes the "Blair Family Magazine" are listed below, except for the addition of Mary's name based on their immigration record:
p. 28: "Don Kelso went to Washington & Lee University Library to study the Blair Family research done by Dr. Diehl who concluded that the only Mary Blakr of correct age for "Rev. Alex Kelso" (i.e. Charles) was the daughter of the James Blair that resided in Northern Ireland and the niece of Martha Blair Paxton. This was the Mary Blair in the will of John Houston. Mary lived with Mr. and Mrs. Houston as the nanny for their young son, Matthew Houston. John Houston died in 1754.
Mary Blair ... She passed away in 1760.[1] Both Mary and Alexander were killed in 1760
