Surnames: Park, Adair Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FdB.2ACE/412.417.418.1 Message Board Post: Louise, I read with interest your statement that James Adair was appointed Indian Agent 1735 by King George III. Would you be so kind as to advise me if it was an appointment / commission based in London (i.e. there was a William Adair, Secretary of Virginia, but he was based in London) or whether it was an appointment / commission made in America and ratified in London by King George III, please. I have been attempting to find the Record Group to look up the actual appointment for the Adair family history, and your help would be most appreciated. Thankyou. There was a James Park Adair in York County in the 1790 census.
