Blair, George and William, I am searching for information on George (b 1750) 
and William Blair (b 1739) in Ireland.  Arrived Charleston South Carolina in 
March or before 1766, possibly Sept. 1765.  They were Irish Protestants 
(possibly Presbyterians) that came and received Bounty Land in Belfast 
Township of Granville Country, South Carolina.  Have copies of original land 
grants dated March 1766. Land promoters in South Carolina at this time were 
Arthur Dobbs and Matthew Rea that also had land in Georgia.  It is said that 
Rea made a trip back to his home area County Down -- Lisburn, Ballynahinch 
and Dromore to recruit settlers.

Seeking information on Jeremiah Thomas, place of Birth and parents.  Through 
a lease Jeremiah Thomas of the state of GA, planter, was present in Edgefield 
County, 96 Dist, SC in Oct 1795.  Sold land granted to him in Oct 1794 on 
Little Steven's Creek and waters of the Savannah River.  His name appears on 
the SC 1800 census.  Jeremiah Thomas served in the Revolution during 1778 
under a Capt. Anderson Thomas and 1782 under Capt. Robert Frost in SC.  Note 
in the Audited Accounts 7725. I believe he had at least two sons, Joshua, b 
1799 and Jeremiah 1800 something.  Joshua was my GGGrandfather he is shown in 
Greene County, in Jones and Gandrud Records on pages 82 & 83, Vol. 94 or 108. 
 My GGrandfather was William A. Thomas born in Green Cty, AL in 1829 and 
Grandfather was Charles William Thomas b Scooba, Kemper Cty, MS, in 3-10-1863 
where he married Sallie Frances Blair in 1890 and moved to Houston, TX where 
he worked for the Southern Pacific RR.  Joshua and Jeremiah were present in 
Scooba, Kemper Cty, MS, in the mid/late 1800s.  Joshua at age 71 married to a 
Narcissa with a son David on the 1870 census.  I have these Thomas's in Texas 
to date.  There was a Josiah (John) Thomas at the Red Bank Baptist church on 
the little Saluda River in Edgefield Dist before 1792.  He was on the 1790 
census for Edgefield Dist, SC.  Thought these names might be of the same 
family somehow.
