Blair Family History

Our earliest identified Blair ancestor is William K. Blair. He eloped with Martha  Gilliland in Polk Co. Tenn. in1867, leading her across a river on a mule. In 1873, with son Lee in tow, they left for Texas with 5 other families, including William's sister and mother. They settled 6 miles east of Springtown in Parker Co., Texas. There he joined the Masonic lodge and became a Royal Arch Mason.  In the early 1900's he served Springtown as Justice of the Peace.
