About Enos Blair

from: http://www.momslookups.com/generations/blair.html

Enos and Hannah Blair lived near Archdale, NC, in northern Randolph County, and were members of Springfield Friends Meeting in southwestern Guilford County. Sarah Morgan came from a family associated with the Quakers in Pennsylvania, but I have no evidence indicating that the earlier Blairs, or Colbert's other children, were Quakers. Enos and Hannah Blair and and their family were received at Springfield from Center Friends Meeting in 1793. Unfortunately most of the early records of Center Meeting were lost, and we can't document the history of this family there.

My hypothesis is that Enos came south with some of his Quaker cousins on his mother's side, the Morgans, Baldwins and others, and that he joined the Quaker community prior to marrying Hannah Millikan. I think it's doubtful that his father and brothers were in Guilford or Randolph county for any length of time. It seems more likely to me that they went straight from Virginia to settle in western NC, and that Enos came separately to Guilford/Randolph Co.


The other children list are all children of Colbert's son Enos. They are Jessee, Sarash, Jane, Abner, Solomon, Martha, Hannah, Josiah, Ruth and Nathan.
