Other note

Blair graduated MA from the University of Glasgow and was appointed a regent of the university in 1615. In the 1630s, he was removed from two English parishes for not supporting episcopacy. After 1637, he preached in and around Irvine, Ayrshire and became second minister at Ayr before being transferred to St Andrews. Following ejection in 1661, he moved to Kirkcaldy, where he continued to preach.
