John Blair

M
     John Blair was born. He was the son of Judge William Blair.

Rev. John Blair1

M, b. circa 1720, d. 8 December 1771
     Occupation: Pastor (Presbyterian.) Rev. John Blair was born circa 1720 at Ireland. He was the son of Samuel Blair and Martha Campbell Lyle. Rev. John Blair married Susan Durburrow. Rev. John Blair lived at Fagg's Manor, Chester Co., PA. He died on 8 December 1771 at Wallkill, Orange (now Ulster Co.), NY.
Note: From Early American Presbyterians:

Brother of Rev. Samuel Blair, born in Ireland and educated at Log College at Nashaminy, and licensed by the New Side Presbytery of New Castle at its earliest sessions. He was ordained December 27th, 1742, pastor of Middle Spring, Rocky Spring, and Big Spring in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and gave two-thirds of his time to Big Spring, dividing the remaining between the others. During his ministry here he made two visits to Virginia -- the last in 1746 -- preaching with great power in various places, organizing new congregations, and leaving an enduring impression of his piety and eloquence. The incursions of the Indians led him to resign his pastoral charge, December 28th, 1748. He seems to have remained without a settlement till 1757, when he accepted a call from the church at Fagg's Manor, which had become vacant by the death of his brother. Here he continued not only as pastor of the church, but as head of the school which his brother had established. In this latter capacity he assisted in the preparation of many young men for the ministry. In 1767 he was chosen Professor of Divinity and Moral Philosophy in the College of New Jersey, and was elected President before he was thirty years of age. But soon after his election, intelligence was received from Scotland that Dr. Witherspoon, who had previously declined the position, would, in all probability, if the call were repeated, accept it. As soon as this was known to Mr. Blair, with a modesty and magnanimity worthy of record, he immediately wrote to the President of the Board, declining the office, and accepted a call to Wallkill, in the Highlands of New York, May 19th, 1769. He died there December 8th, 1771.


During the excitement growing out of the question concerning the examination of candidates on their experience of saving grace, one of the Old Side published "Thoughts on the Examination and Trials of Candidates." To this pamplet Mr. Blair published "Animadversions," dated "Fagg's Manor, August 27th, 1766." He also published a reply to Harker's "Appeal to the Christian World," entitled "The Synod of New York and Philadelphia Vindicated." He left behind him a treatise on regeneration, orthodox, and ably written; it was published shortly before his death, with the title, "A Treatise on the Nature, Use, and Subjects of the Sacraments, on Regeneration, and on the nature and Use of the Means of Grace." The preface is dated "Goodwill, alias Wallkill, December 21st, 1770." It was reprinted by Dr. James P. Wilson, in his collection of Sacramental Treatises.
