      BIRTH:
      1. Per Ancestral File. Parents shown as Thomas Freestone and Ann Fall. Submitter: Jared M. Rowley, 353 E. Central Re., Emmett, ID 83617. Alternate birth places also shown as Erie, Harden, Ohio and Marion Twp., Hardin, Ohio. All show 16 Jun 1849. One odd entry shows "Johanna Freestone or Hodnett" with parents being Andrew Hodnett and Ann Fall.

      2. Per 1900 census.

      3. FHL film 26318: Orderville, Kane, Utah, LDS Church Membership Records:

      MARRIAGE:
      1. Online Ordinance Index reports a previous husband George Bennett with marriage of 5 Nov 1868 at Huntersville, Hardin, Ohio. Sealing work done same date in 1999 as with George W. Adair. Ohio does not appear correct in light of extracted sealing record to George Bennett cited below.

      2. Ancestral File shows what appears to be accurate data indicating marriage to George Bennett 17 Oct 1868 at Salt Lake City, Utah. Submitter: Jared M. Rowley, 353 E. Central Re., Emmett, ID 83617. Alternate entry by submitter John Hendricks, PO Box 720463, San Jose, CA indicates George Bennett as born 28 Apr 1845 at Hanley, Worchester [another entry shows Staffordshire], England and died 26 Oct 1872 [presumably in Utah]. Parents Thomas Bennett and Ann Lucy Lacey.

      3. Varying dates and places shown in Ord. Index for marriage to G. Adair: 9 Dec 1880 at St. George or 27 Dec 1880 at Orderville. I found the entry in FHL film 170579 for St. George Temple where he and his brother Thomas were both sealed "for time" only during the same week:
      -24 Dec 1880: Thomas Adair, b. 31 May 1814 in Ind. and Mary Vancil Wiggle, b. 27 Sep 1820 in Union Co., Ill.
      -29 Dec 1880 [note the page is folded such that the 2 of 29 is hard to read, but it is there and the record is sequential]: Geo. Washington Adair, b. 18 Nov 1818 in Gibbons Co., Tenn., and Johanna Freestone Bennett, b. 1849 in Erie Co., Ohio.

      DEATH:
      1. Ward Records quoted above.

      BURIAL:
      1. Utah State Historical Society's web "Burials Database" indicates a Joanna Adair buried in Orderville Cemetery. No dates are provided. Source given as "DUP".
