My great-great-grandparents were William Franklin Blair (1846-9/12/1877) & Nancy M. Blair (3/17/1847-9/13/1878). They were married in Sevier Cty., TN, 5/17/1868. Their son, Bruce Lafayette Blair (7/27/1869-4/24/1956), was my great-grandfather. Nancy was the daughter of Albion Tipton Blair, & is buried with her parents in McMinn Cty, TN. I am trying to determine if William Franklin was the son of William Harrison Blair (6/21/1813-9/13/1891). Albion Tipton Blair & William Harrison Blair were both sons of Hugh Blair (1781-12/20/1868). I found a ledger by Hugh Blair & continued by someone else (Sevier Cty.) which provided some of this information, along with other online information. I also found census entries for a William Blair, age 4 & 14, in Sevier Cty., TN for 1850 & 1860, in the household of Harrison Blair (married to Mary Elizabeth Chafin), then found William, Nancy, & Bruce in the 1870 census. I cannot locate any cemetery entries online for William Franklin or W.F. Blair, so I am hoping someone might have some additional information in order to verify William. Bruce L. Blair, my great-grandfather, was raised by his grandparents in McMinn Cty., TN. He had a brother, Oliver, & also possibly another brother, William. Since Nancy M. Blair was buried in McMinn Cty., TN, I am thinking William F. must have passed away while still living in Sevier Cty., then Nancy & her sons moved to McMinn Cty. with her parents. My mother was born in McMinn County, TN also.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I am trying to piece everything together & verify that I have the correct William Blair.
