• Notes

  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. The inclusion of this individual and his siblings into this database is based on rather circuitous inference. On 27 Nov 1877, John Wesley Adair and Rebecca Frances Adair Stayner, son and daughter of Thomas Adair and Rebecca Brown, went to the St. George, Utah, LDS Temple to perform vicarious baptisms in behalf of the dead. Rebecca noted herself as a relative and was the proxy for Elizabeth Adair; John noted himself as second cousin and was the proxies for all of the boys. Both gave exact dates of birth but no birth location. To have this temple ordinance done, the individuals had to have been deceased. I looked at the microfilm of the actual temple record and found that the family members were in sequence that day at the temple except that there were several names between Elizabeth and the others for work done by Jeremiah Stayner who was Rebecca's husband. The following is the data found listed by individual, date of temple work, proxy, FHL film-page-ordinance number, birthdate, and relationship of proxy to individual. Adair, Elizabeth; 11/27/1877; Stayner, Rebecca Frances Adair; 170845-18-285; b. 11 Apr 1806; Relative. Adair, Joseph; 11/27/1877; Adair, John Wesley; 170845-18-296. Adair, James; 11/27/1877; Adair, John Wesley; 170845-18-297; b. 4 Aug 1770; Gr. Nephew. Robbins, Alexander; 11/27/1877; Adair, John Wesley; 170845-18-298; b. 2 Sep 1793; Second Cousin. Adair, John; 11/27/1877; Adair, John Wesley; 170845-18-299; b. 13 Nov 1796; Second Cousin. Adair, Allen; 11/27/1877; Adair, John Wesley; 170845-18-300; b. 17 Mar 1798; Second Cousin. Adair, William; 11/27/1877; Adair, John Wesley; 170845-18-301; b. 15 Nov 1804; Second Cousin. Adair, James Newton; 11/27/1877; Adair, John Wesley; 170845-18-302; b. 11 Nov 1812; Second Cousin. We can assume that all of the individuals noted as second cousins to John Wesley Adair are most likely siblings of each other. We also assume Elizabeth was a sister in this group. Alexander Robbins is most likely a "second cousin-in-law" having probably married a sister within the group (unsure if the sister was Elizabeth Adair or some other unnamed person still living in 1877 but currently I assume another "Miss Adair" separate from Elizabeth as his wife). To be literal second cousins with the surname Adair, this family would have had to be grandchildren of Joseph and Sarah Adair who were parents of Thomas Adair who married Rebecca Brown who were in turn parents to John Wesley Adair and his sister Rebecca Frances Adair Stayner.
