  • Notes 
    • Uriah was the son of Wilford and Mary Blair:
      A Wilford (b. 1794 in Maryland) and wife Mary (b. 1805 in Kentucky) Blair are in Marion Co., Kentucky are in 1850 Census. Appears he is dead by 1860.

      In 1850, 1860 and 1870 censuses Uriah and Nancy are listed with the children as they came along. Between 1870 and 1880 they had moved to Osage Mission, (now St. Paul) Neosho County, Kansas. 1880 & 1890 Census they are in Labette County, Kansas.
      1905 finds them in a Kansas State census.

      February 10, 1906 Nancy Dant Blair died
      Uriah died December 20, 1908

      At no time in these records do we find a reference to any names except Uriah and Nancy. The letter added to this page verifies he was buried under the name Thomas Uriah Blair.

      Bio Notes below from Gary and Merleen Ellis dated 6-3-2013:

      Uriah and Nancy lived on the church grounds of the Sisters of Loretto in Loretto, Marion Co. Ky. Uriah was a stonemason by trade and worked closely with the Sisters.
      The Sisters of Loretto migrated to Osage Mission (Now St. Paul, Ks) to educate the Osage Indians. The Mission grew and they wanted to build a Catholic Church so Uriah and family followed the Sisters to Osage Mission and helped build St. Francis Catholic Church which is still in use today. They had a close relationship with the nuns with many family members on both the Blair and Dant lines becoming nuns. Several of Uriah & Nancy's children attended the Loretto Academy in Loretto, KY. Uriah and Nancy were listed as parents and lived "near".

      Other children were: Thomas Uriah Blair, Jr. b 13 Jan 1860 d 19 May 1885.
      Margaret (Maggie) Blair Duffy b 16 Jan 1882 d 16 Jan 1897.
