The naming of the children of John and Elizabeth closely follow the Presbyterian Blair ministers from Faggs Manor in Chester County, PA. Elizabeth may have descended from Rev. John Blair, son of William Blair, brother of Samuel Blair and brother-in-law to Rev. Robert Smith, who married John's sister, Elizabeth Betsy Blair.
