Ok....why would anyone give themselves a name? The name I'm searching for is Abraham/Abrams/Abram....they can't make up their minds, but supposedly they were in from PA I've seen one Abram that an NA lady's last name, but don't know anything else past that. -----Original Message----- From: cherokeegene-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cherokeegene-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of R BULLER via Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2015 8:57 PM To: cherokeegene@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CherokeeGene] CHEROKEEGENE Digest, Vol 10, Issue 4 To answer your question, Some of the Adairs that immigrated to the USA and married into the Cherokee, May have been the ones who were previously named Fitzgerald. One of the Adairs then won The particular Fitzgeralds estate for having defeated him The particular Adair named himself Fitgerald De Adair and later dropped the Fitzgerald keeping only the Adair which could throw off the investigation to go back farther in search on the particular Adairs.
