Blairs in the Revolutionary War
Charlotte Stewart, the BSGR's head genealogist, has service records for the following BLAIR men who served in the Revolutionary War. Those marked with a checkmark indicate they were identified as to wives, families, etc. and she has more exact dates and information on them. In some cases, she also has proof of NON-service (especially in the state of PA).
A number in parenthesis means that Charlotte has that number of service records for men of that name. Many of these men have not been identified, and in some cases, duplicate records may (or may not) refer to the same soldier serving at different times and in different units. In a few rare cases, there are service claims based on a family tradition, but no actual service can be verified. However, the vast majority of the records are based on valid service dates and units.
We are actively seeking the identification of those not yet identified. Please include your BSGR membership # in all emails, if you are a member. If you are not a member (why not?) please tell Charlotte, so she doesn't spend time searching for member paperwork that does not exist.
