Tom, do you have a copy of the documents in Nacogdoches that name John Blair's siblings?Or could you tell me what type of documents they are and where I could order my own copies?I'm a descendant of Jesse W. Blair, John Blair's brother, and I'm interested in finding out all I can about his family.John and Jesse were children of Thomas Blair, who was born in the 1770s, possibly in Georgia or South Carolina, and who died in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri, in 1839.John Blair did have a brother Samuel, but this Samuel was alive as late as 1850, and so could not have been the one killed at the Alamo.It is curious that this brother was not named in the 1846 record.It is also curious that "Isaac Lee" was named as a first cousin of John Blair in the Texas record, since Isaac L. Blair was named as a son of Thomas Blair in his (Thomas's) will.I also wonder, if John Blair had a widow, why she wasn't his only heir, rather than all his siblings.
