About Ann Blair, of Auldmuir

The parents of Ann Blair of Auldmuir were Gavin Blair of Auldmuir and his wife, Annabel Stewart.


There is no primary source proving that Ann Blair and Andrew Lynn ever had any children, much less children born in Ireland. They lived out their days in Ayrshire, Scotland, and Andrew's properties went at his death to persons of other surnames. One property, Highlees, went in fact to a William Blair, presumably a relative in Ann's family.

The parents of Ann Blair of Auldmuir were Gavin Blair of Auldmuir and his wife, Annabel Stewart. The evidences are as follows ...

In 1643, Andrew Lynn gave investment in his Ayrshire properties “to Ann Blair, his future spouse, daughter of Gavin Blair of Auldmuir”. [James Paterson’s “History of the Counties of Ayr and Wigton”, vol. III, Edinburgh (1866); pp. 184-6 (esp. 186)].

“Mr ...” or “Master Gavin Blair of Auldmuir” was a party to, or otherwise mentioned in, documents dated 15 Jan 1622, 8 Dec 1828, and 2 May 1667. The 1628 document is a ratification by “Annabel Stewart, designated spouse of Mr Gavin Blair of Auldmuir”. These three documents are extracted at the website of National Records of Scotland.
