Research Interest: I am doing the family history of my adopted son. He is a descendant of Robert L. Blair and the marriage to Martha R. Cunningham. I am stuck on the parents of these two. John NM Blair, a son, came to Weatherford, Parker County, Texas, about the 1870s. The first son of John NM Blair was James Aston Blair, born July 20, 1866 in Tennessee, presumably in Washington County. Robert L. Blair had two brothers that I am aware of William K. and John. They were engaged in the early mining processes iron or e, etc of eastern Tennessee. I would appreciate correspondence and the exchange of information on the related families of Blair, Cunningham, and allied families who moved the church en masse from Rising Sun, Maryland, to Guilford County, North Carolina, and then drifted into settling in eastern Tennessee when it was still part of North Carolina. Also the Cherokee Indian heritage of some of these people.
