JOHN BLUE was born September 9, 1777, in South Carolina. His father was a soldier in the Revolutionary army, and was taken prisoner by the British the very day of his birth. His parents moved to Fleming county, Kentucky, when he was quite young. Elizabeth McNary was born in South Carolina, and taken by her parents to Fleming county, Kentucky, also. They were there married about 1806. About 1823 they moved to Green County, Ohio, then moved to Sangamon county, arriving in the fall of 1830, in what is now Clear Lake Township.
