    Mrs Minerva Sutton Blair/Mrs John B Blair
    Flatwoods, 8/8/1899 - Mrs Minerva Blair, wife of John B Blair, deceased, died at her home 8/4/1899, of heart trouble after an illness of 3 months, aged 70 yrs & 21 days. Deceased was born 7/11/1829, near Georges Creek, Fayette Co, but moved with her parents when young to a farm near Flatwoods and remained near here the balance of her life. She was a daughter of Ruben and Jane Sutton, both of whom are dead. On 9/5/1844 she was united in marriage with John B Blair, from which union there were born 14 children, five of who are dead. Those that survive her are: Christena, wife of Jonathan Shaffer; Olen Sutton Blair; Paulina, wife of John W Lynn; Annie Bell wife of John F Clark; Ulysses Grant Blair; Setturah, wife of Dr L T Russell; Malissa, wife of Andrew L Carson; Avaleen Dunn Blair, and Joy T, wife of Jas A Wells. Deceased was left a widow 25 yrs ago with the care of 7 children, most of whom were small. She was always known as a loving, industrious wife, and a kind and indulgent mother. Well might those children rise up and call her blessed, for with the care and protection of those little ones she succeeded where many would have failed. She united with Flatwoods Baptist Church at the age of 11 yrs and was a constant attendant as long as her health would permit. Her husband was a deacon of that church for a number of yrs. All of her children that lived to the age became believers in Christ. Her remains were interred in the Flatwoods Cem on Sun, Aug 6th, beside her husband and children.

    Notes:

    John Parrott arrived in Annapolis, Maryland in 1736 as an "Emigrant in Bondage" from Newgate Prison, England.  The story, according to Timothy Parrott, who has written a Parrott Family History, goes that John Parrott had stolen two shirts in England, the Goods of William Wilson; and the Goods of John Clark, therefore, was sent to American colonies to serve 14 years as an indentured servant.  We believe that he was indentured to either Francis Shepherd (Sheepherd), or his stepfather, Thmas Chapmen, as John Parrott married Francis Sheephers's sister, Naomi, in 1751.
