1 - Joseph ADAIR, Sr. b. abt. 1711 Antrim Co, Ireland; d. 1801 Laurens CO., SC married (2nd) Sarah LAFERTY of Bath County VA (?). They were married in New Castle, DE in 1732. When Tax Free land became available in the Carolinas, Joseph and his brother James obtained Land Warrants in SC and moved there with their families from PA. Joseph and Sarah are supposedly buried at Duncan's Creek, Laurens Co., SC. 2 - Joseph ADAIR, Jr. b. 12 Mar 1733 probably in Lancaster Co., PA; d. 17 Oct 1812 married Sarah DILLARD b. 1736; d. 1758 (daughter of James Stephen DILLARD and Lucy WISE of VA). Joseph ADAIR, Jr. was a farmer and served in the Revolution. 3 - John ADAIR b. abt. 1753 at Laurens Co., SC; d. 28 Sep 1812 in Apalachee, Morgan County, GA married Jane JONES b. abt. 1766 in SC; d. abt. 1852 in Perry Co., AL John and Jane left Sc for GA with their 8 children and settled in the Morgan County area about 1800. John ADAIR served in the Revolutionary War, as did his father and grandfather. I am descended from John and Jane (JONES) ADAIR's daughter Mary ADAIR who was born about 1799 in Laurens Co., SC and died 12 June 1868 at Autauga County, Alabama. The above information comes from documents researched by my grandmother and internet postings from Lee Adair, Palmer Lee Pace and Lorna K. Lueck. I am planning a genealogy fact finding trip to SC later this month. If anyone has additional information on these families or suggestions on where to find additional information, please let me know. Thanks!
