[Only 11 children can be found, perhaps they meant the family contained 13 people, 11 children and 2 parents.] Marriage license shows mother's name as W. Blair. Received 300 acres of timberland from his grandfather Andrew. Appears in his parent's household in the 1880 census as age 23, with his wife and son, Bernard. Tall (6'1") thin and wiry, a good hunter and fisherman who loved the outdoors. Intensely disliked teaching school. At the suggestion of a Mormon missionary he moved his family to Manassa. They made the trip in a prairie wagon after the 1880 census. Moved to Colorado, some say, in 1894. Owned 2500 acres of land in Logan County, WV in 1880. Almost 30 years later when he returned to Logan County he learned it had been sold for taxes. bacammsadded this on 20 Apr 2010 keithvgolforiginally submitted this to ALL AMERICANS-SOUTHWEST WEST VIRGINIA OUR FAMILY on 7 Apr 2010 William Anderson Dempsey 20230528GHLn- Pasted from front Media Details: Blair 3 bacammsadded this on 9 May 2010 jahovenieroriginally submitted this to Blair family of southern WV on 29 Dec 2009 1920 --- Heavyweight boxer Jack Dempsey with his mother Mary Celia Smoot and father Hyrum Dempsey. --- Image by © Bettmann/CORBI Hyrum Dempsey bacammsadded this on 20 Apr 2010 John Blairoriginally submitted this to Blair family of southern WV on 30 Dec 2009 Category Type: Portrait / Family Photo Hyrum Dempsey Hyrum Dempsey Death Record Hyrum Dempsey Death Record bacammsadded this on 9 May 2010 John Blairoriginally submitted this to Blair family of southern WV on 30 Dec 2009 Category Type: Portrait / Family Photo Hyrum Dempsey Death Record
