52 The Blair Memorial : written by, about, and for Blairs and their relations  Blair, Bob (Robert H), Jr.
The Blair family originated in Scotland and is considered to be one of the older clans in that country. The first Blair on record appears to have been William de Blair (ca.1205). The first Blairs to come to America appear to have been William and Robert Blair who were descendants of a David Blair (bc 1618 in Scotland) who emigrated from Ayrshire to Ulster, Ireland in 1630. These Blairs arrived in Boston in about 1718. They are considered to be the progenitors of most of the Blairs presently living throught the United States.
