"From Deed Book 3, Page 246, Lancaster County, PA, from Joshua Low, and wi
fe to Elijah Jenkens, dated Oct. 9, 1810:

"Whereas Joseph Adair by virtue of a proprietary grant dated the 20th d
ay of August 1750 had surveyed unto him about the year 1757 certain 289 ac
res three quarters of land in Little Britain township with the usual allow
ance and by Deed Poll(?) dated the 9th of October 1764 the said Joseph Ada
ir and Sarah his wife did grant the same land to Samuel Coulson......"

History of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, with Biographical Sketches of M
any of its Pioneers and Prominent Men., Chapter LVI. Fulton Township, pa
ge 850, at http://www.pa-roots.com/~lancaster/books/ee/index.html: states
:

"Joseph Adair also occupied a large tract in the southeastern section of t
he township, his survey being returned four hundred and twenty-two acr
es by warrant of Aug. 20, 1750. He sold two hundres and eight-seven and t
hree-quarter acres to Samuel Coulson, October 29, 1764, the balance havi
ng been previously transferred to James Hanna. Coulson failed soon afte
r, and the sheriff sold the above (with other land of his) to David Jenkin
s, Aug. 7, 1767."

From Hawbacker and Groff, A New Index: Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Befo
re the Federal Census, Volume 3, Index to the 1750 Tax Records, page 1 sta
tes:

"A Joseph Addair was in Little Britain Township in Lancaster County (Fult
on Township was carved out of Little Britain Township quite a number of ye
ars after the focus of this activity.) He was on the tax rolls there in 1
754, as "Adair" in 1756, and with the notation "Cooper" in 1758."

JeffPlan@aol.co further states: "Thus there was a Joseph Adair, who w
as a cooper, in Little Britain Township, PA, by 1750/ His wife when the l
and was sold was Sarah. A Joseph "Eldare" and Sarahy "Lifferty" were marr
ied in 1746 in the Old Swedes Church in Wilmington, DE, and James Adair, w
ho is shown to be a son of Joseph Adair in both deed and probate recor
ds in Laurens County, was born in 1747 according to James' tombstone in Br
ookville, IN. The Joseph Adair in the Laurens area is called a coop
er in various instruments, and it is well documented that Joseph's seco
nd wife, Susannah Long, had to have married him well after he moved to Sou
th Carolina."


HISTORY OF LANCASTER Co., Penn. states:
Owned 250 acre land grant, which is the present site of the Duncan Creek P
resbyterian Church, Laurens Co., S. C. This was sold in 1778 to Benjam
in Adair.



He was buried in Duncans Creek Cemetery. His will, dated January 9, 178
8, stated that he gave and bequeathed to his wife, Susanna, all my sto
ck of black cattle and hogs, with all the pewter of my dresser, and 160 C
ontinental dollars which is in the hands of my son Joseph Adair and all t
he store of my grain, farming tools, beds and bedstead. At her decea

to my son Benjamin Adair, the other half of my Coopers tools...also ha

to my Daughter, Mary Owens, my bigest Iron Pott, and to her husband John O
wins, half of the sawed plank..to Robert Long, my son in law, the other ha
lf of the sawed plank.......sons Joseph and James, Executors..

It was signed Joseph Adair Sr.

(Mary Owens' maiden name was Long and was Susannah's daughter by her fir
st marriage. Mary's husband's name was John)


In 1790, the Fed. Census shows two Joseph Adair's living in South Carolin
a, in Laurens County:

Joseph Adair, book index page 74, with one male 16 and up and 3 males und
er 16 and three females.
Joseph Adair, book index page 74, with 4 males 16 and up and 1 male und

Was a soldier and commissary in the American Arm, War of the Revolutio
n, at the age of 70.

A petition was circulated before 1780 in support of Colonel James Willia
ms who was killed at the Battle of Kings Mountain. It has been called t
he Col. James Williams Petition and the Little River Brigade Petition. O
ne of the originals is in the South Caroliniana Library and anoth
er is at Duke University. The copy from the Caroliniana Library is sign
ed by 64 men, who may have been from the area around what is now Spartanbu
rg Co. The one at Duke University has the signatures of 24 men from Laure
ns Co. A signature on this petition could provide extremely good eviden

From the book "Touring Guide To Ireland."

A poem "Beside the Fire" by T. W. Rolleston:

Where glows the Irish hearth with peat
There live a subtle spell -
The faint blue smoke, the gentle heat,
The moorland odours tell

Of white roads winding by the edge
Of bare, untamed land,
Where dry stone wall or ragged hedge
Runs wide on either hand

To cottage lights that lure you in
From rainy western skies;
And by the friendly glow within
Of simple talk and wise.......

Also, in this same book:

Adare, Ath Dara:
Ford of the Oak, Limerick
Sited on the River Maigue, this delightfully tranquil village of careful
ly thatched cottages and broad, tree-lined streets owes its unique qualiti
es to Edwin, 3rd Earl of Dunraven. He lived during the 19th century and w
as considered one of the best "improving" landlords; he was also an author
ity on early-Irish architecture.

The community's story starts in the 13th century, when the occupying Norma
ns found themselves confronted by a formidable castle built by the O'Donov
an family. This was rebuilt in 1326 by the Earl of Kildare, enlarged a
nd strengthened at various times by his successors, and finally dismantl
ed by Cromwellian troops in 1657. During its turbulent history it suffer
ed assault by both native and foreign forces. Surviving remains inclu
de a ruined square keep surrounded by a battlemented rampart with semi-cir
cular bastions. Access to the south gate was by drawbridge across a fos
se which may have formed part of a ringfort. The castle's Great Hall stan
ds near the river and displays interesting 13th century windows. To the ea
st of this are the remains of a second, more recent hall, including trac
es of a 15th century kitchen and bakery.

The friary was founded by the 7th Earl of Kildare in 1464, and the reasona
bly complete remains include a nave, choir, and south transept of late Iri
sh-gothis origin. The friary was restored by the Earl of Dunraven in 1875
.

In the village, close to the fine 14-arch bridge which spans the Maigue, a
re the remains of an Augustinian friary which was founded 1316.

In the center of the village is the Trinitarian Monastery, founded by Loa
rd Ossory in 1230. This now serves as the present parish church and is t
he only dedication to the Trinitarian Canons of the Redemption of Captiv
es known to have survived in Ireland.

Adair Manor has been the family home of the Earls of Dunraven since the m
id 17th century. The present neo-gothic building stands on the si
te of a smaller Georgian house and was begun by the 2nd Earl of Dunrav
en in 1832.

From the same book:

Ballymena, An Baile Meanach
The Middle town, Antrim
Ballymena stands on land received by William Adair of Kinhilt (in Scotlan
d) from Charles I. In the 18th century the Adair and Hickey families intr
oduced a linen industry which ensured the town its continuing importance a
nd prosperity. In 1798 a body of United Irishmen battled through the stre
ets with English forces and held the community for a full three days.

Where was Adair's port of entry to U.S.? If it was Baltimore, which was t
he most popular destination for emigrants. Many such emigrants soon we
nt on to Pennsylvania, Virginia, or the Carolinas.

The social ladder at that time was made up of the gentry, represented by t
he 1 or 2 percent of the heads of household whose names were accompani
ed by a title - captain, major, or esquire. These people of their class d
id not do manual labor was obvious from their clothing; gentlemen attir
ed themselves in linen waistcoats and shirts with ruffled lace cuffs, a
nd genteel women wore dresses of silk or fine linen. By contrast, did t
he Adairs wear clothes made from coarse, practical fabrics - canvas or rou
gh wool - and had small estates?

Although they emigrated from Ireland to America, , ethnically they were Sc
ottish? Their ancestors had gone to Ulster, Ireland, in the early and mid
dle 1600s as colonists in England's effort to subdue Ireland by populati
ng it with Protestants. This "plantation of Ulster," as the colonizati
on of northern Ireland was called, was, of course only one migration amo
ng many in which English and Scottish people participated in the 1600s.

In the early seventeenth century Ulster was no less a frontier than New En
gland. Ulster Scots initially lived in shelters every bit as primiti
ve as the American pioneers' log cabins. The Ulstermen also had to transp
lant Presbyterianism, the religion of the Scots, to a new land and wrest c
ontrol of the Irish countryside from hostile natives. This latter task w
as no easy enterprise. The native Irish, driven from their lands into swa
mp and forest retreats, were just as much a menace to the Scots on the Uls
ter frontier as the Indians were to whie pioneers in North Americ
a. As a result the Scotch-Irish migrants to the American colonies in t
he seventeenth century came as experienced homesteaders who skills in anti
-guerrilla warfare were readily adaptable to the American frontier.

Betweeb 1717 and 1776 an estimated quarter of a million Ulster Scots join
ed the transatlantic migration. Deteriorating conditions in Ireland - ris
ing rents, religious and polical discrimination against Presbyterians, a
nd economic disasters - provided the main impetus. Severe droughts and ye
ars of poor harvests accounted for a pattern of especially heavy migrati
on during five peak periods: 1717-18, 1725-29, 1740-41, 1754-55, and 1771
-75. The chief drawing power of England's North American colonies was t
he availability of cheap land, and as the location of the most readily ava
ilable cheap land shifted, so did the ultimate desitnations of the migrant
s. Before 1740 the most accessible inexpensive land was in Pennsylvani
a, a colony whose proprietor, William Penn, was tolerant of the Scots' Pre
sbyterian convictions.

"Immigrants to New World 1600-1800's (CD Fbg. Gen. Lib.)
Scotch Immigrants in New York 1774-1775" was listed William Adair 1740; di
ed in 1763. In 1738, Captain Lauchlin Campbell of Isla, brought over a num
ber of Scotch Highlanders, who were followed in 1739, 1740, 1742 by othe
rs - State Hall, Albany. Shipped at Stranraer on 5/16/1774 on board the "
Gale" of Whitehaven bound for New York. Henry Jefferson was Master.

Some say that that Thomas Adair was born in 1680 in Ulster, Antrim, Northe
rn Ireland and died aft. 1775 at Duncans Creek, Laurens Co., S. C. Also t
hat he was married in 1703 in Portpatrick, Wigtown, Scotland. They also s

arsonages, etc. He was a loving husband, a kind father and faithful frie

He was born in Spalding County, Ga., November 25, 1848. Married Decemb

o. Burgamy was willing and ready to go. He was submissive and said, "T
hy will, not mine, be done." He said to this wife, "Mama, I have to lea
ve you and the children but just hold out faithful a little while longer a
nd we'll all be together where there will be no sad parting." He request
ed that Dr. Hall preach his funeral, and where he wanted to be burie
d. He had his niece, Mrs. Mamie Colston, to sing and pray for him. Wh

rd me great consolation." He joined in and sang "Nearer, My God, to thee

27 South Carolina Naturalization records of August 17, 1796 show William Cra
ig from Carrickfergus, Ireland. Was a mariner.

John Craig was the youngest child of Rev. John Craig.

John followed his brother, William, to Alabama from Tennessee about 182
2. They lived near Nanofolia and then located to Marengo Co.

John boarded with Lewis Barfield. Lewis Barfield's daughter, Mary, w
as 20 years old at the time, and her sister, Sarah, some years younger.

Alabama:
John Craig married Mary Barefield 10/16/1823 in Marengo Co., Ala.
John B. married Patsey Montgomery 6/23/1818 (no county listed)

John taught school at Greensboro, Ala. in 1824, but returned to Marengo Co
., the latter part of that year and bought a home. The home was near Glov
er Church, one of the first Methodist churches established in that sectio
n. He and his wife joined the church. Their daughter, Pauline, was bo
rn during this time. Here John practiced medicine with Dr. Sexton.

Soon after joining the church, John became a minister and was licens
ed by the quarterly conference.

He became a prominent Mason, reaching the degree of Roy-Arch, and was a Kn
ights Templer. He was for some time Grand lecturer of the State of Alabam
a. A copy of the By-laws of Perry Lodge, lists John Craig as Master.

John's health began to fail and thus only preached near his home.

Ninian de Athdare
 
33 Origin of the name Adair: Celtic and Gaelic

From Ath, a ford, and dare, from darach, the place of oaks, "The ford of t
he oaks." There is the following tradition of the origin of this surnam
e. "Thomas, the sixth Earl of Desmond, while on a hunting excursion was b
enighted, and lost his way, between Tralee and Newcastle, in the coun
ty of Limerick, where he was received and hospitility entertained by one W
illiam McCormic, whose daughter he subsequently married. At this allianc
e, the family and clan took unbrage. Resigning his title and estate to h
is youngest brother, he fled to France in 1418, and died of Grief at Roue
n, two years afterward. The King of England attended his funeral. He h
ad issue, Maurice and John; Robert, the son of Maurice, returning to Irela
nd, with the hope of regaining the estates and title of Thomas, his ancest
or, slew Gerald, the White Knight, in single combat at Athdare, the fo
rd of the oaks, whence he received the name of Adaire. He embarked for Sc
otland, where he married Arabella, daughter of John Campbell, Lord of Argy
le."


James Fitzmaurice Fitzgerald, a cousin of the earl of Desmond (Sir Jo
hn of Desmond, brother to the earl) - leader of a rebellion in Munst
er in 1569. He escaped to France. Returned to Ireland (Ring of Dingl
e) in 1579. Killed in a skirmish at Smerwick, on the Dingle peninsu
la of County Kerry.


Fitzegerald, Gerald, earl of Kildare d. 1513 Irish magnate, Lord Depu
ty of Ireland 1481-94, 1496-1513. Supported the Yorkist cause until 14
94 when temporarily deprived of office after Warbeck landed in Ireland; th
ereafter loyal to the king.


Fitzgerald, Gerald, earl of Kildare 1487-1534 Lord Deputy of Ireland 1513-
20, 1524-26, 1532-33 between imprisonments for feuding with rival famil
y. Died in Tower of London.

Fitzgerald, Thomas, Lord Offaly and earl of Kildare 1513-37. Son of abov
e: rebelled on his father's arrest 1533, but was defeated and executed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------Robert Adair (from Bar
nett book) was a scion or younger son of the Noble House of Fitzgerald; An
glo-Norman Viceroys of Ireland, and Earls of Desmond and Kildare in Scotla
nd.

According to tradition, which is mainly confirmed by history and Heraldr
y, he fought a duel with the White Knight at the town of Adair, which w
as located on the Desmond Estate, in Limerick County, Ireland. Robert sl
ew his antagonist in single combat; He then sailed for Scotland under t
he name of Robert Fitzgerald de Adair; but after landing in Galloway, he d
iscarded his patronimic designation and wrote himself Adair. Robert marri
ed a daugher of the most noble house in Scotland, to-wit: the House of Arg
yle.

From the book Touring Guide To Ireland the following:

Desmond's Grave, Kerry County
Accessible from either Tralee or Castleland, this grave contains the remai
ns of Gerald Fitsgerald - an Earl of Desmond who was killed by Ormonde sol
diers in 1583 - and lies 4 1/2 miles NW of Castleland in Glanageenty Gle
n. The glen is 2 miles WSW of 1,097 ft. Knight's Mountain, which forms pa
rt of the Glanarudder range.

Kilmallock, Cill Mocheallog: St. Mocheallog's church, Limerick
this old corporate town is pleasantly sited on the W bank of the River Loo
bagh, to the N of the Ballhoura Hills in the fertile Golden Vale. Litt
le is known of the settlement origins, but the magnificent ruins here sh
ow that it was a place of importance. St. Molach or Mocheallog found
ed a church or monastery here in the 7th century. The medieval town's ri
se to prominence was due largely to the Anglo-Norman Desmond family, who w
ere all powerful in Munster province for many centuries. As with all oth
er occupying Anglo-Norman families, they organized the civic life, establi
shed defences, and made provision for religion. Edward III granted a char
ter, and the town was surrounded by a cut-stone wall fortified by earthe
rn mounds and breached by four imposing gateways. Blossom's Gate, throu
gh which the Charleville road passes, survives from this time and includ
es a well preserved section of the wall. King's Castle is a tall, 15th ce
ntury gate tower on the Limerick road.

The Desmond family consolidated their considerable power by shipping lar
ge Irish forces across the sea to help Edward III against the Scots. T
he commanders of these forces were three counsins of the great Earl of Des
mond, and they so distinguished themselves on the field that the king dubb
ed them the White Knight, Black Knight, and the Green Knight respective
ly - after the colours of their armor. The White Knight's descendants we
re particularly involved with the life of Kilmallock. The tomb of the la
st head of the family can be seen in the choir of the Dominican friary.
Belfast - towns' development as a town can be traced back to 1177, when Jo
hn de Courcy built a castle to command the ford from a strong positi
on in a settlement which stood between the modern city's Donegall Place a
nd Corn Market.

In 1315 the castle was destroyed by Edward Bruce. In the early 16th centu
ry, Belfast was little more than a fishing village - although still descri
bed as a fortress - in the hands of the O'Neills. This family were the Ea
rls of Tyrone, and they ruled the Lagan Valley from their stronghold of Ca
stlereagh. Belfast continued to be a place of strategic importance howeve
r, and it was attacked twice during Edward Fitzgerald's risings of 1503 a
nd 1512. Fitzgerald was the Earl of Kildare.

"Here lies the body of Mrs. Rachel Gordon who died in the faith of the Gos
pel a triumphant Saint on the 12th August 1825 aged 70 years. The memo
ry of the Just is blessed."

"Sacred to the memory of Willaim Gordon a native of Scotland but for twen
ty four years a respectable resident of this city. He died on the 27
th of October 1817 in the 53rd year of his age. Regretted and belov
ed by all who knew him, Accept blest Spirit: of this tribute of affecti
on from a beloved wife whose only consolation arises from the recollecti
on of thy virtues and the the hope of rejoining thee in that better count
ry where no good deeds shall be forgotten.

For then the frequent tears shall flow and sobs unbidden rise The hopes th
at droop and wishes now shall bloom beyond the skies."

"Sacred to the memory of beloved John Gordon who departed this life on t
he 27th day of February 1835 aged forty eight years. His character was un
diviating rectitude. The sincerity of his affection had placed him in t
he highest station as a Husband, Father, and Brother. He was firm support
er of the Institutions of his adopted country and a strict observer of t
he duties which he owed to the Author of his being. A constitutional mala
dy hastened his death before his years had brought him to the full ti
de of his usefulness. The memory of his virtues had formed in the hear
ts of his friends the most enduring monument of his excellence; fond and g
ently in the tenderest relations of life, constant in friendships, unostin
tatious in the charities which he liberally dispursed. He has left to tho
se who knew him the meloncholy and proud consolation that while they regr
et the loss of a friend and companion many mourn a protector and benefacto
r."

"Sacred to the Memory of Mrs. Mary Gordon widow of the late Andrew Gordo
n, Bricklayer of this city, who departed this life the 20th day of July 18
14 in the 60th year of her age."

"Also of James Gordon son of Andrew and Mary Gordon who after a long and p
ainful illness which he bore with manly fortitude departed this life 5th N

"This frail memorial as a tribute of respect for a tender Mother and affec

Fort Frederica, St. Simons Island, Glynn Co., Georgia

During the "Trustee Period" of Georgia netween 1733 and 1754, Gen. James O
glethorpe established the first settlements in Georgia for the London Boa
rd of Trustees. King George II of England granted these trustees la
nd in the new coloy of Georgia between the Savannah and Altamaha Rivers a
nd to the Atlantic Ocena. Oglethorpe began constructing several small for
ts at various startegis places, staffed them with small contingents of sol
diers and sent families to cultivate the land around them. Around 1736, O
glethorpe established Fort Frederica on St. Simons Island situated at t
he mouth of the Altamaha River. In 1742 a very large Spanish force land
ed on St. Simons Island and Oglethorpe withdrew his soldiers and settle
rs from the surrounding area into fortified Fort Frederica. He and the so
ldiers set out for a surprise attack and roundly defeated the spanish in w
hat was later called the Battle of Bloody Marsh. The Spanish uplled o
ut of Georgia dn the war between Spain and Britain was effectively end
ed by this last battler for territory in the New World. Georgia's bounda
ry became the St. Marys River where it remains to this day.

The following data was extracted from a 1958 press release found in the Ma
rgaret Cate Collection at the Georgia Historical Society, Savannah, Georgi
a. The press release was part of an announcement of the of the new muse
um opening at Ft. Frederica on St. Simons Island, Georgia. The release in
cluded a list of original settlers of St. Simons Island and the soldiers s
tationed at the Fort by General James Oglethorpe in 1735. (Margaret Dav

Athens Weekly Review, Thursday, April 17, 1924

I have been requested by friends at Murchison and the Murchison correspond
ent to write the following: On April 4th, 1924 at 3 P.M. the angel of t
he Lord carried away the soul of Mrs. Lula J. (Gordon) Burgamy, of Murchis
on, Texas. Mrs. Burgamy, who was born, March 17, 1854 and was marri
ed to Emory G. Burgamy December 8, 1870, in Spalding County Georgia, w
as a woman of strong Christian character and a devoted member of t
he M. E. church since 1869. She endured much suffering during her last il
lness, but patient, and wanted to go, brave to the last moment. She was b
uried in Larue cemetery by the side of her dear husband, who had gone on s
ome seventeen years before. She made her home with her only surviving dau
ghter, Mrs. Porter Luker of Murchison. They had 10 children, 16 grandchil
dren and 9 great grandchildren. Only three children survive her, Marvin B
urgamy of LaRue, Eustace Burgamy of Athens and Mrs. Cora Luker of Murchiso
n. Mrs. Essie Martin, the wife of a prominent business man of Murchis
on is her granddaughter whom she raised from a six month old girl when h
er mother died. She loved Essie as her own and Essie had the opportuni
ty to return a part of this great kindness in her last days. Rev. J
oe B. Wells, Methodist pastor of Murchison was visiting in Texarkand wh
en she died, but came at once to attend the funeral services.
I have known this good woman for years have been in her home; she has be
en in our home; have heard her testify for her Lord and Master. She w
as a good woman and her children know where to find her. Emulate her go
od example and meet her in the great beyond. Mrs. Burgamy was known all o
ver the eastern end of the county and those who knew her best loved her mo
st, for she always met them with a smile.
