- Mary Wilson, after the death of her first husband, William Roscow, was married, April 13, 1702, to Colonel Miles Cary, of Richneck, and Warwick County, Virginia. Mary Wilson married a third time, in 1720, Doctor Archibald Blair, of Williamsburg, a brother of Commissary James Blair of William and Mary College, and the father of Honorable John Blair, President of the King's Council. Archibald Blair died in 1736. The following is from the William and Mary Quarterly:
"Dr. Blair was married at least three times. By his first wife, unknown, he had John Blair, President of the Council (died in his 85th year, Nov. 5, 1771.--Va. Gazette). In 1703, Archibald Blair and Sarah, his wife, executrix of Bartholomew Fowler's will, sued Thomas Chisman. (York County Records.) I think this second wife of Blair was Sarah Archer*. He married, thirdly, Mary Wilson, only daughter of Col. Wm. Wilson, about 1720. (Elizabeth City County Records, and tombstones at Blunt Point and Richneck, Warwick county.) She had married, first, Wm. Roscow; second, Col. Miles Cary, of Richneck, and Dr. Blair was her third husband. Dr. Blair had issue: 1, President John Blair (he is frequently spoken of as nephew of Commissary James Blair); 2, James Blair, of James City county (the tombstone of Dr. Blair, Va. Hist. Coll., Vol. XI., speaks of his nephews (nepotibus), see also letter of Gov. Gooch in Perry's Historical Coll., see College Catalogue); 3, Elizabeth, who married John Bolling, Jun. (Bolling Memoris); 4, Harrison, married Dr. George Gilmer. (Gilmer's Georgians.) President John Blair married Mary Monro, daughter of Rev. John Monro. (Quarterly, II, p. 82.) Issue: 1, Judge John Blair; 2, Dr. James Blair, married Kitty Eustace, of New York, who married, secondly, J. J. Cuthbert, of Georgia (Va. Gazette and marriage bond); he died Dec., 1772 (Va. Gazette); 3, Sarah, married Col. Wilson Miles Cary, of Ceely's (Cary Bible); 4, Anne, married Col. John Banister, of Battersea, Dinwiddie county (Va. Gazette); 5, Christian, married Col. Armistead Burwell, of Stoneland, Mecklenburg county (Burwell's tombstone, John Blair's will, York county, Bruton Register); 6, Elizabeth, married Captain Samuel Thompson, of the Royal Navy
*"Fowler was Attorney-General of the Colony and lived in Henrico county, where the Archer family was prominent. A child of John Blair was Sarah Archer.--Quarterly, Vol. II, p. 82."
(Va. Gazette, 1768); 7, Mary, married Col. George Braxton. (See John Blair's will.) Judge John Blair married Jean (???). (Va. Hist. Coll., Vol. XI.) Judge Blair had three daughters; Nelly, died at fourteen (Va. Gazette), Mary, second wife of Robert Andrews, and Jane, first wife of Rev. James Henderson, married Jan. 8, 1795. None of these daughters left surviving issue. Jane had issue, James Blair, John Blair, Thomas Hamilton, and Blair Monro Henderson. The Prayer Book in possession of Mrs. F. H. Robertson, of Saltville, Va., a granddaughter of Mrs. Henderson by another marriage, shows their births and deaths without issue.
"James Blair, second son of Dr. Archibald Blair, died about 1773, when Archibald Blair, 'his infant orphan,' made choice of John Blair, Esq., as his guardian. (York County Records.) Archibald Blair died Oct. 7, 1824, aged 71. He married Molly Whiting, of Glocester, in 1787. He was Clerk of the Council, and Clerk of Committee of Safety during the whole Revolution. Mary, his daughter, married in 1822 John Minor Botts. The will of Archibald Blair, dated in 1809, and recorded in Richmond, May 17, 1825, names children, John, Beverly, Archibald, and Mary."
