Birth*Sarah, daughter of Henry W. Blair and Sally Shreves, was born circa 1843 in North Carolina.1 
Census1850Sarah appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Western Div., Rockingham Co., North Carolina in the household of her parents, Henry W. Blair and Sally Shreves, as 7 yo Sarah Blair.1 
Census1860Sarah appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Northern Div., Rockingham Co., North Carolina in the household of her parents, Henry W. Blair and Sally Shreves, as 15 yo Sallie Blair.3 
Census1870Sarah appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Jonesville Twp., Lee Co., Virginia in the household of her parents, Henry W. Blair and Sally Shreves, as 27 yo Sallie J Blair.2 
ResearchNote*Research Note of 25 June 2021 re marriage. Sarah may have married William Jordan 28 Jul 1892 in Wise Co., Virginia. The marriage record shows her as d/o Henry & Sallie (Blair). This was her 2nd marriage, being a widow from her first. So far sounds great. But Sarah's birthdate is 1847, about 4 years too late. The birthplace of Rockingham, NC is perfect. I find no other records for Sarah or William so will leave it like this for future researchers to figure out.4

ResearchNoteResearch Note of 24 June 2021. See Henry W Blair's (1811-a1870) Research Note of this date.2 
Birth*Jeanette, daughter of Henry W. Blair and Sally Shreves, was born circa 1844 in North Carolina. Spelling of her first name is uncertain.2 
Census1850Jeanette appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Western Div., Rockingham Co., North Carolina in the household of her parents, Henry W. Blair and Sally Shreves, as 6 yo Jenetta Blair.2 
Census1860Jeanette appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Northern Div., Rockingham Co., North Carolina in the household of her parents, Henry W. Blair and Sally Shreves, as 14 yo Jinetta Blair.3 
Marriage*She married Madison Bailey on 25 June 1866 in Rockingham Co., North Carolina. My preliminary research suggests their only child was
William Madison Bailey (1872-1949, m. Emma Susan Morris bef. 1901, Find A Grave memorial no. 74263482). Jeanette's FSTrees entry (MYLB-3LJ) claims an unnamed daughter (1866-1866) but I find no evidence.
One marriage record says 25 Jun 1865 but the others say 25 Jun 1866. Jenette's name is spelled at least three different ways.4,5,6,7
