  • Notes 
    • the Archives of Ontario does hold Marcus Blair's probate records on MS638, Reel 40. Unfortunately, those records do not list his death date. The church register of Christ's Church Cathedral in Hamilton records Marcus Blair's cause of death (consumption) but does not record a date, either.
