    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. Per website <http://www.softcom.net/users/paulandsteph/tjadair/descndants. html> 3 Jan 2002: b. 1810 in Davidson, Laurens, So. Carolina and married Joseph Allison. Note: have seen some group sheets reporting birth about 1812.

      2. The fact that her sister Eliza did her LDS temple baptismal work in 1877 confirms her existence and notes her birthplace as So. Carolina. Name is noted as Sophia Adair Allison. It also appears her other sister Mary Ann Adair Mangum also did the baptismal work for her later in 1877 and lists her birth as 1812 in Alabama.

      3. The early LDS temple records for St. George, Utah per FHL film 170840, p. 252, ordinances 4744-4746, show Polly Allison Rigsley, Betsy Allison Ivins, and Anna Brown Allison all baptized for the dead by proxy of Eliza Adair Price who lists herself as a cousin. She notes their birthplaces as South Carolina; however, she mentions the same birthplace, right or wrong, for all 19 ordinances she did that day (28 Feb 1877). These 3 individuals were done just after Sophia Adair Allison which makes me think they may be somehow related to Sophia (her daughters and daughter-in-law). A few ordinances later she does more Allisons; however, they are probably related to Thomas Allison and Joseph Allison.

      4. From Don and Carolyn Smith, one part of three writings of Samuel Newton Adair. [As to source, Carolyn referred me to Becky Hamblin [bhamblin79@hotmail.com] to try to locate the original of this; Becky in turn believes Collins Chapman in Mesa may have it since Collins' mother is the granddaughter who hand wrote it for Samuel]: "Luna, New Mexico, January 22, 1920. I, Samuel Newton Adair, will write what I know about my father's folks. My grandfather on father's side was named Thomas Adair. He married Rebecca Brown. He lived at Lawrence County, South Carolina in 1806. My father was the oldest son of Samuel Jefferson Adair. Thomas Adair was the next oldest son. George Adair was next oldest son. John Wesley Adair was the youngest son and went with the Mormon Battalion in 1846. The girls names were Eliza Adair Price, Sally Adair Mangum, died on the plains in 1852. Mary Ann Adair Mangum married John Mangum." Surprisingly, this individual is not on the list.
