      3. Per 12/21/2001 email of Norma J. Entrekin, Adair descendant, nje@mindspring: Apparently, about 1876, some Mangum families were called to help settle the town of Kanab, Kane County, Utah. (I assume [some of] the Adairs were also called there.) In 1879, some of both groups were called to help settle the Little Colorado River area of Arizona, in Apache county. They went to Concho, Arizona, first, and then on to Nutrioso, Arizona. Some of the Adairs eventually settled in Luna (Catron County, New Mexico), Pinetop (Apache County, Arizona), and also Bloomfield/Hammond (San Juan County, New Mexico).
