This is more into my own time frame, though I do thank all who responded earlier, as every bit of information just might become useful at some point in the future - who knows!
My own William Blair was born 1780 - probably somewhere in Cty Armagh, Ireland - but not sure yet. He had a brother (well we think it's his brother) born 1776, named Thomas. As all the BLAIRs are likely related (common ancestor way back in 1300's somewhere I suspect)I am confident that Ayrshire holds the secrets to my own lineage. Now, if only I could find out which Blair families went to Ireland and when. I suspect it was to fight for William of Orange and were rewarded with Ulster lands sometime after the Battle of the Boyne.
Now, if only I could come across a muster list for King William's troops!! Ah, pipe dream, of course - don't we all wish for something like that!!
Thanks Valerie for your response.
