re: Samuel ADAIR bc 1735, (son of William,per will),
m. 3/10/1760 in New Castle Co. Delaware to Ann Aiken
(per Del. History and Recall).
Children:(per Samuel's will) Margaret, Elizabeth, Alexander, Mary, Agness, Jemima, Samuel, and William.
His siblings (all b. in Ireland / Scotland ?) were:
John,
Jean,
William, (diary ?)
Margaret,
Rose Ann,
James, (m. Stedham)
Robert.
Wonder ifMatthew Aiken (below) was related through
marriage to the Adair family :
Scharf, Thomas J., History of Delaware, 1609-1888.
Volume Two- pp. 854-880.
CHAPTER XLVIII.
PENCADER HUNDRED.
The population steadily increased, and in 1798 the following names were on the assessment list as taxables:
Matthew Aiken, Esq.
William Adair’s estate

Loyd, Thankyou for all your information.
I have not read the above Diary, is William one of your relatives ?
I am very interested in the birthplace of Samuel and siblings, so please excuse me if I have repeated anything.
There were Samuel Adairs in Dublin, Ireland, perhaps relative of a Rose or Rosanna Adair, so will see if there was a connection.
Has anyone a Rose or Rose Ann or Rosanna Adair in their lineage ?Thankyou.
