Notes	(Research):Muriel Peppler Letter 25 Jan 1978, RR3 Hwy 8 Beamsville, ON L0r 1B0 Contact from Jean Johnston, her cousin in Prescott William Blair owned the hotel right behind the Perth Museum, formerly the Matheson home, made first brick in triangular shape, died c1821. Could he have been Margaret's father? James Blair Lanark Society Settler James Blair Society Settler 1820 Anderston and Rutherglen Transatlantic Emigration Society. Located East lot 8 Concession 1 Dalhousie. Weaver. Wife and 4 children. James Blair died before 1834 and his son George inherited the land. James son George Blair 1800 married Jane Jean Bateson 1802. Margaret Kelso Mrs. John Munro ? her niece Janet McDonald married Robert Bateson 1825 and his parents were William Bateson 1804 and Janet Sinclair who in 1851 are living beside George Blair and wife Jean Bateson. Jean Bateson 1802 Blair is sister of William Bateson 1804. Also with them is Isabella Blair born 1773 and so safe bet that Isabella is wife, widow of James Blair Lanark Society Settler dead by 1834 who came out in 1820. And Isabella is mother of George Blair 1800.
