      Notes 
      • "Samuel Blair's grave was located in family cemetery off route 750 at Rondo, on Bob Hubbard's property. (1988) There appear to be only seven graves: Julia Walker 1836-1908, Arthur Sidney Blair 1845-1903, Clarrise W. Fuller 1802-1890, Samuel Blair 1789-1870, According to Mr. Bob Hubbard, the two joining cabins located close by was Samuel Blair's home. We have so far been unable to confirm where William Blair first lived after moving to Pittsylvania County." So says William Otey Blair, 804 Montclair Ave., Frederick, Md. 21701" quote from Christine Reynolds Stone in her biography of William Garrett Reynolds' descendents.
