| Notes |
- Per the History of Barnet Vermont by Fredrick Wells
Robert and Margaret sailed for America a few days after their marriage and reached Barnet VT in August 1784, settling on the farm still owned by their great-great grandson, Joseph Blair, which has been in the family without change.
His name is on the call to Rev. David Goodwillie, July 5, 1790. In the census of that year he is given as having a wife and three children. In the earliest list of communicants to the Center Church are both their names.
DOD listed as May 21, 1821; Vital Statistics has DOD as Jan 21, 1821
