In the book (online) "Blair Family of New England", by Miss Emily Wilder Leavitt, 1900:

p.43- "James Blair, son of Robert and Isabella (Rankin) Blair, was a mill wright, and owned a large farm in Rutland, Mass. December 26,1746, he bought of Mr. Jonas Clark of Boston, ninety acres in Rutland, lying on Turkey Hill Pond; in 1764 he received land in the cedar swamp. Mr. Reed, in the history of Rutland, writes 'Lieutenant James Blair was a useful and active citizen during and after the war.' His name is on the town book as one of the alarm men in 1776. His wife's name has not appeared, but the town records seem to show that he had children:

  • 1. Isabel, who married, June 23, 1768, Patrick Watson.
  • 2. Mary, who married, November 2, 1789 (typo- should be 1769), Samuel McClanathan, of Palmer, Mass.
  • 3. John, who married (intention) December 23, 1780, Ann Bothwell.
  • 4. Hugh, who married, November 7, 1772, Jane McClanathan of Charlemont, Mass." [2]
