Notes for James Adair
The Adairs seem to have originated in Scotland and Ireland. A number of Adairs migrated to the United States in the early 17OOs, settling in a number of states. By 1790 there was a large settlement of Adairs in Laurens County South Carolina. A future president of the United States, Andrew Jackson, was born in the Waxaw colony of Scotch-Irish emigrants in the Chester District of South Carolina.
James Adair was born June 8, 1790 in South Carolina. On February 14, 1814 James Adair married Ann Smith, who was born in South Carolina May 17, 1789. The 1820 census of the United States indicates that James Adair had moved Southwest to Putnam County Georgia, and by 1830 he had settled in Henry County Georgia. Henry County was created in 1821 from Indian lands. By 1850, James Adair and his wife Ann had moved to Shelby County Tennessee, where they lived near Memphis. James Adair died March 22, 1851 in Shelby County and Ann Smith Adair died on October 16, 1852. The exact location of Ann’s death and burial has not been determined.
