State of Pennsylvania.


Reverend William Blair Baptist Minister b. in Pittsylvania County, in 1781. In 1804 United with the Strawberry Baptist Church. The same year was ordained to the ministry was for some time Pastor of that church was also pastor of Kentuck, Upper Banister, Sandy Creek, and Mill? Churches; in addition to these Pastoral duties, he performed valuable service as an evangelist, in Henry, Bedford, Halifax, Charlotte and Mecklenburg Cos. Va and Person, Caswell and other counties NC. He was a member of the Roanoke Missionary Society and was one of the Collecting Agents and was frequently the ______ of the Roanoke Association. The __ of his life, he was called to preach in Caswell Co., NC Before leaving home he said to his son, "if ___________ before ___________ I will Thursday. He ________ yesterday, [released to his soul] was taken sick and died _______________. He was a man of bold and commanding figure, and found _________ grace __________ and a just and fair representative as a minister honored and beloved.

The copy of this text is badly degraded and many words are questionable; no mention is made of a wife; presumably there was one who brought him a son. Further research is underway. The RWA of Jesse Reynolds, s/o William of Culpepper Reynolds says that He (Jesse) names Rev. William Blair as a Character Witness in 1833. It is believed that William of Culpepper Reynolds also came to Pittsylvania County in or around 1781. Several items in the Christine Reynolds Reynolds Memoir do not match facts later learned. She states that William Blair, husband of Sarah Sutter died on one date, but another child is listed born two years later. We have Jesse Reynolds RWA stating Rev. William Blair can vouch for his character in 1833. He could not have died before 1833. - Further research is underway - Mary Frances Reynolds Eggleston

Think I found where William Blair is probably buried " Sometime during the 1780's they migrated to Pittsylvania Co., Va. They lived on Tommy Hawk Creek where he died in 1790." William's son Samuel Brittain Blair Sr. home/farm and burial is off RT 750 near Rondo,Va. Tomahawk Creek is right where the farm and building are.I believe I found the "dirt road abt. 1 mile on RT 750 from RT 58 at Rondo" Soon...I'm going to check this out,soon.-Sammy Blair
