• Notes

  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Censuses: 1850 US: District 21, Pottawattamie, Iowa, p. 78b, 13 Sep 1850, entry 217: Samuel Adair, 46, Laborer, SC. Nancy, 39, VA. John, 18, AL. George, 15, AL. Samuel, 12, AL. Rufus, 7, MS. Mary, 13, TN. Robert, 7, TN. Benjamin, 5, TN. Jemima, 4, IA. Joshua, 1, IA. Note: this census locates Samuel in Iowa in 1850 with a previously unknown wife [at least unknown among Utah Adair histories]. It appears Nancy brings into this marriage three children of a previous marriage [Mary, Robert, and Benjamin] who were all born in Tennessee. 1851 Iowa State: Pottawattamie County. FHL film 1022203. The entire state was counted but only Pottawattamie listed everyone by name in the household and their ages; other counties only listed the head of the household and a numerical count without names of the various ages by sex in the household. No date is given when the census was taken but it was certified in Dec. 1851; however, the other counties show a Sep 1851 date which also appears more likely for Pottawattamie as well in light of ages given some children with known birthdays in October. Census return: Maynard: Nancy 43, Mary E. 13, Robert 6, Benjamin F. [or T.] 4, Joshua 1. Also in same household is Mary Walker 10 and Charle Hughs 14. [Nancy appears recently separated from her second husband Samuel Adair by the time of this census and living under her first married name of Maynard with her children of the Maynard marriage. Joshua Adair is listed twice - once with Nancy Maynard and once with Samuel Adair; evidently the final custodial arrangements for Joshua were not yet settled by the time of the census. Nancy's next husband Andrew Allen is not in the census confirming that Andrew Allen was not a factor in the breakup of Samuel and Nancy marriage. It also appears their separation was by Sep. 1851 long before his June 1852 departure to the west for which some family researchers have given as the reason for their separation. Her fourth husband is listed in the county's census put several pages away. Samuel Adair is also several pages away as well.] 2. Does not seem to appear in 1860 and later censuses of Iowa nor in Civil War service with any Iowa regiment. May be dead by 1860. Not listed in Susan Black's books of LDS or RLDS members. BIRTH: 1. Birthplace consistently given as Tennessee in censuses. Older sister born in Gibson Co., TN.
