Adairs in Ontario Canada

PatriciaMaureen — 19 Nov 2008 6:07:07 GMT

I have been trying in vain to trace my grandfather's family.
His name is Hamilton Adair and I have reasonable information on his whereabouts from his birth of September 30, 1889 or 1893 (I have two dates referenced) in Toronto, Ontario.

Hamilton's parents are William Adair, born in Kingston Ontario in approx. 1852, who later married Bessie (Elizabeth Naylor) Sept. 8, 1884.

The 1881 Canadian Census shows William Adair, single living with Ellen Adair, widowed mother, London Ontario.

I need more information about William's parents, his father, Hamilton Adair and his wife Ellen Adair. I believe this couple was born and married in Ireland and later immigrated to Ontario Canada before their son, William was born (1852).

Any help out there?

Clan Adair Society

clan_adair — 8 Aug 2008 10:54:23 GMT

Anyone interested in Scottish festivals, Clan Adair history, etc. Please visit www.clanadair.org, I am trying to put together a clan society for the Adair's in thier own right, not as a sept of another society. I am also wanting to get official recognition through the Lyon Court in Ediburgh for the Adair's as a clan in their own right. Then once this can be obtained, and our new clan chief, Cmdre. Allan Alexander Shafto Adair, RN is properly recognised, an Adair tartan will be top priority (with approval of our chief of course).

Again, anyone interested in a Clan Adair Society please visit www.clanadair.org

Yours Aye,

Adair Connections

bobadair1 — 18 Nov 2003 3:07:57 GMT

I am trying to connect my Adair family in Ontario with the Adairs in United States. Recently I came across the following quote in a book entitled Pioneer History of South Brant and the Adjacent Townships:
"The name Adair is one of comparatively few surnames that have been enshrined by Robert Burns in Scottish song. Robert Adair is known and loved wherever Scotsmen are found. Among prominent people who have borne this name is the name James Adair, who in the year 1775, published the History of the American Indian. John Adair, son of the above, in 1793 was appointed Lieutenant Colonel iin the USA and in 1805 was elevated to the Senate.
David Adair was the first of this family to come to Canada. He must have been a loyalist, as he was granted land near Beamsville, some of which remained in the family for over a century. John, son of David and Abigail, like his father, served as Clerk of Clinton Township Council. He served with the 4th Lincoln Reg. in the was of 1812. He was a casualty in the early stages."
The David and John mentioned in the last paragraph are my direct ancestors. Can anyone help me connect with the James and John mentioned in the first paragraph. Would the John (who was a Lieut. Col and later a Senator) be a brother of David? If so, that would make the (author) James the father of both. Who was James' wife? parents? etc.
Any information will be gratefully received.

ADAIR - GLASGOW, SCOT. bef. 1862

delwatson — 26 Oct 2008 8:35:28 GMT

I'm looking for any information on a William James Adair born 1837 in Glasgow, Scotland. He immigrated to New Zealand in 1862 and his occupation was listed as a cooper. We have no other information on him. Four of his 5 children were possibly named from his side of the family as they weren't from his wife's family. There names were Sarah Adair, William James Adair, Dolina Adair and Margaret Jessie Adair. If anyone knows any other Adair families in Glasgow at this time I'd love to hear from you.

ADAIR and ARDAGH History

delwatson — 26 Oct 2008 8:31:20 GMT

Does anyone know if there is any connection with the two names Adair and Ardagh? The Ardaghs were an Irish family who apparently originated in Wales, but the sound is very similar and I wondered if anyone had ever looked into this before.

A couple of John Fisher Adair questions

Juli_Morgan — 9 Sep 2008 8:38:26 GMT

Has anyone found the name of John Fisher Adair's third wife and the mother of his sons Francis and McDonald? I feel bad that I only have her as "widow Crews."

Also, is the J.T. Adair who was living in Henry County, Georgia in 1850 John Fisher Adair? He was living next to Bailey & Telitha Adair Estes.

I want to thank Lee Adair for his excellent help with the marriage dates of John to both Telitha Brantley and Mary Slaven, and for the deed between George W. Adair and Bailey Estes. That went a long way toward answering some questions about Telitha Adair!

James Harvey Adair, Indiana

threemares — 23 Jul 2008 11:39:04 GMT

My greatgrandmother Joanna Orth married James Harvey Adair April 15, 1861 in Fillmore, Indiana. She was the daughter of Lewis Orth. They had 3 girls, Ida, Margaret and Martha. She remarried in 1876 to Henry Weise(Wiese). The last Adair child I have listed as born in 1866 in Maysville Indiana. I have not been able find out what happened to James nor any earlier information on his family. It's a very distant part of my family but I've been very curious how he could just disappear. Did he die in the aftermath of the Civil War? I'd also like to know his occupation. Can't find that either. The Boards on Ancestry are so great. I've found lots of other disappearing ancestors so hope this Board can help me with him. Thanks.

Lord Albemarle and Mr. Addair - jobs in colonial Va.?

BSadovnic — 23 Dec 2007 3:32:34 GMT

Interesting Adair sighting:

The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. XXXVII, No. 1.

The Letters of the Byrd Family

The letters are continued from previous issues: those in this issue are of William Byrd, II (1674-1744), founder of Richmond, Va.

p. 28

" to Major Otway (I believe this is Byrd's wife's brother-in-law in England)
Va. Feb. 1740
...
...I was in hopes from the known Goodness of my Lord Albermarle, that this Country woud be very happy under his Government. But something happened lately, which alarms People with, the apprehension, that all our Places here are to filled with people from England. The Kings Warrant has been procurd for one Mr. Lynch, to be Naval Officer here, who was sent over hither for no better Reason, than because He was fitt for nothing in England.
...
Between you & me, there has been an account from Home, that there is one Mr. Addair, who is either Agent or Secretary to Lord Albermarle, & persuades him to this Innovation of disposing of all our Places in England, so he may have a snack out of every one of them. If this be true I fear we are in a very bad situation & in Effect this Gentleman, will lead his Lordship into wrong steps & breed some suspicion, amongst those who are Strangers to His Lordship's great Honour & Integrity; that he is not to have all the mony him-self. Nay, here is a story very Currant, that 300 Guinias were given, for sign Manual in favour of Mr. Lynch. Now as I am very much concernd, that there shoud be the least Reflection, upon that Noble Lord, I thought he shoud be informed of it, least like my Lord Bacon, any Dishonour shoud be brought upon Him by the Corruption of his Servants. And I hope what is intended as an Instance of Respect, to his Lordship will not be so unfortunate , as to be interpreted as officiousness..."

Shirley Walsh has shown the Robert Adair/Lord Albemarle connection - his daughter Caroline Keppel, who wrote the song "Robin Adair," married Robert Adair.

Does this also shed light on the 1743 appointment of William Adair to be Secretary of Virginia (which we learn also courtesy of Shirley Walsh!):

"Royal Warrant dated at St. James's (London, England), and addressed to the Attorney General (or Solicitor General) requiring him to prepare a document for the royal signature to ( ....?) under the Great Seal appointing William Adair to be Secretary of Virginia for life, (see Adair of Flixton files), with permission to execute the office by deputy (who must however reside in the colony and for whom William Adair would be answerable).
This appointment was to the vacancy caused by the death of John Carter."

Eventually one of the Virginia Lees tried the same trick on Mr. Adair, as shown in the following excerpt from The Lees of Virginia: Seven Generations of an American Family. Paul C. Nagel, Oxford University Press, 1990.

p. 75

"Perhaps most exasperating to his brothers was Phil's readiness to spend large sums in England with the hope of bribing his way into high office. He was particularly interested in becoming chief secretary of Virginia, a profitable appointment coming from those who had the ear of the King. Phil began his campaign in 1770, while the aged incumbent, William Adair, was still living.
At this moment, said Phil, "it may be got cheap," and he commissioned William to rummage about London to see how large a bribe would be needed. "Whatever money is necessary, if they don't ask more than I like, I will get to pay on your lettting me know the sum." Then, as if remembering his excuses for not providing Arthur and William's inheritance, Colonel Phil pointed out that if the brothers helped him land this office, with its emoluments, "I shall then be able to assist you all beyond your wishes."

Shirley has found the evidence that W. Byrd also attempted this:

http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.adair/1151.1.3.4.1/mb....

"Amherst Manuscripts
W. Byrd: Westover, Virginia, asking for patronage in succeeding Mr. Adair as secretary to the colony.
31 December 1771. (Amherst Manuscripts)

Request and receipt by Lord Albemarle for £100 from
William Adair, 25th March 1751. (Albemarle (Keppel) Papers)"

It's not clear to me yet how long William Adair remained in office, but one has to wonder how many Adairs he "assisted" in Virginia while he was Secretary... What I'd give for HIS correspondence!

Children of Whitmill Harrington Adair

broshire — 8 May 2008 8:36:49 GMT

I am trying to prove or disprove that my great-grandmother, Jane Adair, born 4 July 1827 in Henry County, GA, was a daughter of Whitmill Harrington Adair. There is some evidence that she may, instead, be a daughter of James Adair and Ann Smith.

Jane Adair married John Brooks on 26 Dec 1841 in Paulding County, GA. The issue is complicated because both Whitmill Adair and James Adair were living in Paulding County at the same time. Were they related? It seems likely that they were related, but so far no connection has turned up.

I am most anxious to know where my Jane Adair Brooks fits into the Adair family tree. Any help appreciated!!

Hamilton Adair Marriage to Ellen in Ireland 1830-1840.

PatriciaMaureen — 7 May 2008 8:58:14 GMT

Looking for the marriage of Hamilton Adair to Ellen, maiden name not known. Ellen Adair shows up in 1881 Canadian Census as a Widow,age 62, born in Ireland and living with her son, William age 29 in London, Ontario. William born in Ontario.

Ellen would have been born around 1819 in Ireland. I am preety sure Hamilton was born in Ireland as well. After marriage this couple moved to Ontario Canada before or around 1852.

INDEPENDENCE

A HYDROPHOBIC HORSE KILLED.

A valuable family horse belonging to Henry CRUMP, deputy
county collector, was killed yesterday. Dr. H. B. ADAIR, of
Kansas City, claimed that the horse had hydrophobia.

The animal heretofore has been gentle. Thursday it grew
wild and had a tendency to bite everything in sight and was
extremely vicious. Mr. CRUMP does not know when the
horse was bitten. Several weeks ago a dog affected with
rabies bit several animals on the FRANKLIN farm east of
town and a number of animals have been killed in consequence.

Please Help! Edward Adair

mikepeden1 — 22 Feb 2008 4:42:56 GMT

I am trying to find out any information that I can reguarding an Edward Adair. Unfortunatly I know virtually nothing. I know in all probability he was born around 1945 but this could be plus or minus (probably minus) quite a few years. I also believe that he was in the military and stationed in Germany. I am sorry that I don't have much to go on, but I would really appreciate any tiny little shread of information that I can gather, or even ideas about a new way to search, because I am running out of ideas fast.

Thank you very much for any help that you can give.

Sam and Martha Adair Cotton Plant Arkansas 1850

SUEPARKER1425 — 18 Feb 2008 11:23:53 GMT

Sam and Martha Adair listed in the 1860 Census St. Francis County, Richland Township, Cotton Plant Post Office. Sam's state of birth is listed as Tennessee. Then, in 1870 Census County was changed to Monroe, Richland Township, Cotton Plant Post Office, his state of birth is listed as Alabama. Children listed in the 1870 Census are as follows: Charley age 15; Mary age 12, Nellie age 1. Sam's age is 40 and Martha is 35. Any help with this Sam would be greatly appreciated. I have not been able to find Sam, Martha, Mary or Nellie after 1870. Charley married Nancy Mobley had 3 children, Sarah b. 1885, William b. 1887 and Isaac b. 1891. Sometime between 1887 and 1895 he moved to Yell County, Arknasas. In 1895 he remarried to Sarah Alice Jones and had Stella b. 1896, Vida b. 1898, Amy b. 1901, Delsie b. 1903, Elsie b. 1904, Eulis and Julis b. 1909. All of Charley's children are now deceased. Before the last one passed on I spoke with them and was told that Charley had never said anything to anyone about his parents. There are only two of his grandchildren living near me and they never heard stories of Charley or his parents. Other than the usual "3 brothers left Georgia headed west, when they got to Arkansas they split up" So needless to say from my father back they all swear this story is true, after all why would they make it up? There is nothing to verify the story. Any information to point me in the right direction would be a great help. Email to ggoose@arkwest.com use Adair in the subject line.
Thanks
