Amanda was born Amanda Jacobs February 1838 in Ohio. She was the seventh child and fourth daughter of William and Zoa Jacobs. She lived the majority of her early life in the Clark Township, Ohio.[1]
On the 17th of December 1857, Amanda married C. Columbus Blair in Brown County, Ohio.[2] The couple had two children (and possibly 1 adopted) together and remained married the entirety of their lives.
Amanda is not known to have worked in her life and was primarily a housewife. In 1860, she and her family were living with her brother, Samuel Jacobs.[3] By 1870, she and her family had moved on their own.[4] Through most of her life, she had lived in Brown County, Ohio.[5]
After the death of her husband and son, Amanda lived with her daughter and son-in-law, where they briefly moved to the District of Columbia.[6] She died sometime before 1910 (and likely in 1902).
