Hi Justin, Long time, no hear. Nell Lewis has done extensive research on Adairs and has not found any indication of a kinship between her Adairs in York Co., SC, and other Adairs in other South Carolina counties. Her Adairs came from New Castle Co., Delaware, as did our Faries lines. Will forward your question to Nell and to Dorothy Hyden who has also done a great deal of Adair research.

In reading Tom Hatley's book, "The Dividing Paths", regarding relations and military campaigns between South Carolina colonists and the Cherokee tribe during the mid-1700's, there are frequent references to and quotes from an Indian trader named James Adair. Does anyone know if he is related to Jean Adair Faires (Faris, etc), wife of James Faires? The book also quotes from the diary Arthur Faires kept during one campaign against the Cherokees. Being descended from, both, South Carolinians and Carolina Cherokees, I'm finding this book a very fascinating and informative read and recommend it to anyone interested in the subject.

Hello to Sharon Vega, My name is Dan. Have been wanting to contact you about these families. Your line is James Faries, Sr. (died 1802 York Co., SC) and his wife Jean (Adair) Faries (died 1807 York Co., SC). My line is Alexander Faries (1740-1824) and Janet James (1745-1825) (both buried Old Unity Cemetery, Fort Mill, York Co., SC) - connected to your James & Jean (Adair) Faries, Sr. line, as my Alex and your James were brothers. From what I could tell, no one has tackled the Brown family connections to your line. Would like to write to you directly about the Brown and Strain connections that don't relate to Faries directly, also. (1) Do you know of anyone who has researched these Browns? I am just starting to delve into the various Brown families here, because I have a Brown-Faris connection of my own. I have been typing up info on Samuel Brown whose first wife was a sister of Elizabeth Strain, wife of another Alexander Faries (born 1758), son of your James & Jean. It appears that Sam Brown was from Chester Co., SC, and that Elizabeth Strain (mother of an Agnes Brown) and later wife of Alexander Faries born 1758 both lived close enough to Chester to find it more convenient to visit that court house than the one at Yorkville. Alex 1758 and wife Elizabeth lived on Half Mile Creek near Nations Ford in York Co., South Carolina. Court records indicate that Sam and his family lived with the Alex Faries family for a time, as you know. I don't have all the court records relating to Sam Brown. Just the ones at Winthrop University. There are apparently some more at Chester Court House, S.C. The Hall family were close neighbors to some of the Faries families in York Co., SC, on the west side of the Catawba River. They intermarried with one Faries family and with some other descendants of the Faries and Garrison families. (2) Have a question about the identity of the wife of Major Temple Hall, son of John Hall and Prudence Patterson. It appears that she was Elizabeth Strain BROWN, daughter of Samuel Brown and his first wife. It seems that she was probably Sam Brown's daughter as she named a son Samuel Brown Hall. Some have written that she was Elizabeth STRAIN, but that doesn't seem to fit what little evidence there is. (3) Correction of an often-repeated misidentification: John and Prudence Hall had a daughter Jennet or Jane Hall (1762- 1832) who married a Faries. (Jane, Jennet, Janet, Joan, and other spellings and variations are all the same Christian name.) Many researchers confused this Jennet with my Janet (James) Faries starting with the late Mr. Hart. (I've traced that confusion to a letter that Mr. Hart wrote in 1973 after someone sent him an abstract of the will of John Hall.) Some write that John and Prudence met in Charleston, SC, but they were living in Anson-Mecklenburg-Tryon Counties, NC, from the 1750's and 1760's. (The upper area of York Co., SC, was once part of NC.) However, John Hall's probate records and naming patterns in descendants strongly suggest that Jennet Hall, called Jane in her children's records, married William Faries (Faires) (1757-1828), son of your James & Jean. They moved to Alabama with William's brother Rev. Richard Faires and with my Alex's & Jen's son Rev. Alexander Faires (Jr.). I have a cousin who is descended from both William & Jane as well as from my Alex & Jen (through their son Alex Jr.). She pointed out that the surname Hall appeared as a middle name only in her line from William and Jane, not in her other Faries line. Jane Hall's husband William and her father-in-law James Faries Sr. witnessed her father John Hall's will. Her brother-in-law Alexander Faries (born 1758) was a buyer at the estate sale of John Hall, deceased. A descendant of William and Jane (Hall) Faries sent me the Bible record of their daughter Lavina (Faires) Roach and Lavina's husband George Roach who lived in Lauderdale County, Alabama. It lists the birth and death dates of Lavina's parents William and Jane, although not where they died or were buried. Probably in Wesley Chapel Methodist Church cemetery in Lauderdale County, Alabama, as that is where Lavina and George were buried. Another question that's come up: (4) Did your James and Jean Faries have a son-in-law John Brown? After your James Faries, Sr., a Revolutionary soldier (Account Audited File No. 2294, S.C. Dept. of Archives) submitted his claims against the State of South Carolina in the 1780's arising out of his Revolutionary War services, his interest payments were picked up each year by several different persons. Claimants had to travel to Charles Town at the time to pick up their money. Interest payments on James Faries Senr.'s claims were picked up by David Strain (a son-in-law), Benjamen Garrison (a son-in-law), and John Brown. Was John Brown a son-in-law, also? I don't expect anyone to know the answer to this. I don't at this point either. However, the will of Jean (Adair) Faries, James Faries Senr.'s widow, refers to, among others, a granddaughter Polly Brown. Betsy Farris has sug- gested that this granddaughter may have been daughter of Mary Faries (called Marey in her birth record) and a man named Brown. Mary and Polly are the same name, too, Polly being a nickname. In sum, Mary (Faries) Brown had a daughter Mary, called Polly, Brown. I have yet a lot to do on collecting census, deeds, and court records for the various Browns who may have ties into Faries families. Have only just made a start. My Faries line (Samuel Faris's first wife was a Margaret Brown, daughter of another John Brown and his wife Mary, but not THIS John Brown, I don't think) has a Brown tie, also. This is longer than I meant to make it, so I'll close now.

I do not have a Rachel Farris listed in my Farris family, however the name McFarland has also shown up in connection with my Farris family along with the Strain and Brown famlies. All in York County, South Carolina. Are any of your family connected to these other names in South Carolina?

Statum b 1850 They then had at least four children of their own. Elizabeth A. Farris b 9/13/1853 Richard V. Farris b ca 1856 Joseph C.Farris-no date and Cornelieus Farris--no date -I presume these last two were born after 1860 because they are not listed with the family on the census. This family is listed in the 1860 Franklin TN census as all Faris. Joseph served in the Confederate Army Inf. with Peter Turney's C Company from 4/29/1861 to 10/13/1861 Joseph O. wrote his last will on Dec. 1st 1866 and it was probated on 7/9/1867. In his will he bequeaths "to my three youngest children Richard V Farris Joseph C Farris and Cornelieus Farris". Has anyone any information on this family? What is Julia Statum's maiden name? What Farris Family does Joseph O. belong to? I will gladly share any information that I have. Thank you for taking the time to read about my brick wall. Marcella jandmbrandt@aol.com
