From Genealogical and Personal History of Western Pennsylvania:

Hugh (2) Blair, son of John Blair, was born in West Fallowfield township, Crawford county, Pennsylvania, at the farm located four miles north of Hartstown, December 14, 1809, died April 2, 1886. He was a farmer, owning in 1885 the farm first settled on by his grandfather, Hugh Blair, the emigrant. He was a rigid Presbyterian, and in political faith a Democrat. He married, in Mahoning county, Ohio, in 1840, Margaret Calvin, born in Washington county, Virginia, in 1810, died July 20, 1887, aged seventy-seven years, five months, twenty-eight days. The Calvins were residents of New Jersey, later moving to Virginia, but the daily evidences of the horrors of slavery to which they were opposed, finally caused them to emigrate, in 1816, to Mahoning county, Ohio. Margaret at the time of this removal was in her seventh year and well remembered the incidents of the journey over the mountains. Children of Hugh (2) Blair: Samuel Calvin, Mary Catherine, John Alexander, of whom further ; Sarah Ann, Martha Jane.
