The following record in Augusta County, Virginia proves that Alexander and James Blair were brothers:

From Chalkley's:


  • Vol. 1 - MARCH, APRIL AND MAY, 1785 (F). - Wm. and Samuel Anderson vs. Wm. Young.--On 29th May, 1781, Alexander Blair was so aged and infirm that he could not attend Court. Alexander deposes, 1st August, 1781: About 40 years ago he got the surveyor, Mr. Hume, to survey the land in question for his brother, James Blair and himself. Writ, 16th May, 1780. Grant by George II to James Blair, 10th March, 1756. (Note: This record proves that James and Alexander Blair were brothers, and also establishes the probable date of their arrival in Augusta County, when their land was first surveyed on 10 March, 1756).
