      Abby Hemingway's Gazetter 1867: Andrew Blair - pioneer settler. Mrs Andrew Blair (Ann) sent daughter to 1st school in 1812.

      Had son Andrew Blair Esq ---> Wisconsin

      Robert's son Andrew Blair, along with Elihu Sabin, Reuben Smith, Elisha Sheppard, Reuben Crosby, Thomas Ransom, Azatiah Boody, and Ephraim Perrin, were the earliest settlers of Goshen Gore (now called Stannard) VT, around 1803. The Vermont Historical Magazine noted that "Mrs. Andrew Blair sent her girl to the first school, and paid the tuition with a pink silk handkerchief. 'Schoolmarm know'd I had it, and she wanted it to make her a bonnet' (Good old Mrs. Ann Blair's testimony)" Of Andrew Blair, the magazine reports: "Had the Olympic races come down to our times, Mr. Blair, according to report, might have, become a successful competitor for a crown. It is current that he once ran down and captured a fox, and was overheard holding a parley with the captive, whether the thing was done fair. But, unlike the Olympic races, not having an impartial judge to decide the points, the fox seemed to dissent from his victor's boast of fair play. 'Now,' says Mr. Blair, 'if you think the thing was not done fair, we'll try it again.' Whereupon the fox was let go, and was allowed to have a few rods the start, when Blair took the track. Away went the fox-away went Blair; one for life, the other for victory, over hill, over fence, over brush, till Blair caught the breathless trophy, a second time, in triumph.

      According to the History of Barnet VT by Fredrick Wells: Andrew, b. Nov. 27, 1786
