Eliza Jane Adair was a perservering pioneer woman who was born on 11 Nov 1811 in West Carthage, Tenn. She was one of eleven children, all of whom survived childhood, which was unusual in those days. The family moved several times in her youth, also living in South Carolina, where her older brother Samuel had been born, Indiana where her brother Thomas was born, and in Alabama where her youngest sisters were born, and where they apparently settled down. Her father ran a large cotton plantation.

She married Samuel Carson and had four children by him in Carrollton, Pickens County, Alabama. Her first child John Carson lived only a few months, but the others survived. Then her husband died on her baby William's first birthday. She remarried to Moses Pearson and they had a daughter Margaret, also born in Pickens County.

Later Eliza married John B. Price in about 1844. They soon heard the restored gospel of Jesus Christ taught and Eliza was the first of her siblings to be baptized into the church, along with her husband John, on her 33rd birthday. Most of the rest of her brothers and sisters followed within the next two months. John and Eliza's first child, Becky Ann, was born in Pickens County in 1845. They then relocated to be with the saints in Nauvoo, Illinois. Her mother Rebecca Brown Adair also joined the church and came with them.

When persecution drove the saints west, the Price and Adair families went with them. Eliza gave birth to George in van Buren county Iowa in 1847, but her son William Carson died that year at age 12. They suffered greatly at Mount Pisgah, Iowa where her mother died and her brother Thomas Adair lost his wife Fanny and two of his four children. Many of their relatives died there, but Eliza's son Valentine Carson later married Thomas's surviving daughter, Mary Ann Adair. John and Eliza's third child John was born there in 1849 but he only lived 8 months and died in December of that year.

Finally the opportunity to join the saints in Utah came, and they crossed the plains in 1851. Hyrum was born to them in Iowa just as they began the trip in April. In Salt Lake City, she and John had their marriage sealed for eternity in 1852, and on 2 Jul 1853 Joseph (Jode) was born to them there. But the adventure of crossing the plains was only the beginning of their pioneering efforts. At the October conference of the church in 1856, Brigham Young called ten families from the Southern States to found a community at a place he named Washington to grow cotton in southern Utah. This would be the first "Cotton Mission." Jacob Hamblin had shown earlier that year that cotton could be raised there. During the preparation for the move, Eliza gave birth to her second daughter, Eliza Jane Price in January, 1857.

The families called included John and Eliza's and also the families of five of her siblings: Samuel, Thomas, George, and John Adair, and her sister Mary Ann Magnum and her husband John Magnum. Samuel Adair headed the group which left on March 3, 1857 and arrived the following April 15. Twenty-eight more families were called in April to join them that summer. Soon her son Valentine Carson and his wife Mary Ann Adair Carson, who was her niece, also joined them. They called the area "Dixie", which name still refers to all of that area of Southern Utah, including St. George which was founded four years later.

Many serious problems plagued the new community. Many of them contracted malaria from the mosquitos there, but the cause was then unknown. They also got typhoid and dysentery from bad water. The ground was very alkaline which made it hard to grow cotton. Several families left after the discouraging first season. Three years lated, Eliza's daughter Eliza died before reaching her fourth birthday. Another very discouraging factor was their inability to tame the Virgin River for irrigation, which defied all attempts. It broke their dams seven times in their first three years there. In late 1861 when the group who were going to settle St. George passed through, Robert Gardner wrote that seeing the Washington saints "tried me more than anything I have seen in my Mormon experience. Thinking that my wives and children, from the nature of the climate, would have to look as sickly as those now around me..." He noted how they were as blue as the homemade, weed-dyed cotton clothes they wore, and were all shaking with Malaria.

Even as late as 1889, the dam gave way. Many inhabitants left at that time and the population dropped from about 600 to only 300. But Eliza lived to see a new dam completed in 1891 which finally succeeded. Cotton was no longer grown much after the arrival of the railroad, which brought inexpensive cotton from the South, but Washington City has continued to grow from that time, and is now thriving at 7,000, the legacy of these indefatigable familes. Eliza died in Washington, Utah, on 16 Aug 1892 at the age of 80, having been faithful to the mission where she was called. 		Eliza Jane Adair

GEORGE WASHINGTON ADAIR
Written by his son, William Wallas Adair, April 1940.
(written by Calvin Andrus and contributed by Ben Parkinson)
A pioneer of 1847, George Washington Adair was born March 18, 1818 at West Carthage, Lincoln County, Tennessee. His father, Thomas Jefferson Adair, was born 25 October 1771 in North Charleston, Lawrence County, South Carolina. His Mother was Rebecca Brown born 3 November 1776, Nashville, Davidson Co., Tennessee.

George's family moved considerable during his childhood as they lived in Indiana, Tennessee and Alabama during the next seventeen years. During his early life in Alabama he was an overseer on a plantation for some time. This was during the slavery days. During this time he, with other men, would go from place to place to cradle grain. He was a great man with a grain cradle as grandfather was both tall and strong. Several men would go into a grain patch to cut it down, one man would stand several yards ahead, then the rest would follow. Each would cut a swath and so on and thus the grain was cut with other men behind to bind the grain. If a man could catch up and crowd the first man out then he would have to step back. They would all try to see who could crowd the other out. Grandfather took head swath on many occasions, as he was one of the best cradlers. A cradle is a frame attached to a scythe for laying grain evenly as it was cut. All the grain had to be cut that way.

George moved to Nauvoo after the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith (June 27, 1844) but before the saints left that city. The great body of the saints left Nauvoo in February and April 1846. George was in General McIntosh's company as guard to the city of Nauvoo. General McIntosh was not a member of the church.

He married Miriam Billingsly 6 May 1846. Came to Salt Lake in October 1847 and lived in Sugarhouse.

They later moved to Minersville, Utah and then about 1864 he moved to Beaver, Utah. While at Beaver he did a great deal of farming. He had a piece of land on the North Creek and raised beautiful wheat. Then the black crickets came and we fought them for several days with every chick of us big enough to wield a brush had to help. Ditches were dug and water run into them and the crickets were herded into the ditches, thrashing out with all our strength. Most of the wheat was saved.

George was an excellent woodchopper and rail-splitter, he split rails in the south and did lots of wood chopping of cordwood and saw logs. He cut lots of cordwood for soldiers' camps and mining camps to run the smelters.

Cove Fort was built while they lived in Beaver and George worked on the Fort. He sent his oldest son to work on the St. George Temple. Their move to Orderville, Kane County, Utah started in July 1878, arriving on July 20. The people persuaded them to remain until after the 24 of July celebration instead of going on to Arizona, where they had intended to go, and they stayed on and joined the United Order, turning into the Order all he had, cows, team and wagon, household belongings, etc. Edwin and I drove the cows while moving.

The stock raising industry was where my father was placed in the Order and each of us was placed where we would do the most good. Father was also a good stonemason and could also make shoes.

Orderville is located in what was then called Long Valley, and is four miles south of Glendale and two miles north of Mt. Carmel, Kane County, Utah. Orderville was laid out on February 20, 1875 and building began. They built lumber shanties in the form of a square fort with a large dining hall in the center where every one ate together as one large family. Their religious and social gatherings were also held here.

At first there were one hundred and eighty persons and they were those who were willing and eager to enter this form of life. It was not long before this group increased to five hundred and forty six persons by 1877. The people in the Order fostered all kinds of industry thus making the community self-supporting. They had farms, orchards, dairies, stockyards, sheepherds, blacksmiths, carpenters, shoe shops, bakeries, sawmill, gristmill, molasses mill, bucket factory, tannery, woolen factory and a copper shop. My brother, Jedediah was a blacksmith.

Father and mother and their oldest daughter Emaline, and also Ruhamah went to Salt Lake to the Jubilee in 1897. One day he was with some of the pioneer men and since every thing was free to the pioneers, they wanted to get a drink in a saloon. They each called for what they wanted, some wine, some beer, but when it came to father he ordered a glass of buttermilk. He was the only one that didn't drink on that occasion.

It was a busy time in the order and at one time when father was chopping logs at the saw mill where the crowd was telling how they chopped logs. One big fellow was telling how he and his companion would pitch in and cut the tree down so fast then would sit on the log and rest. This bothered father so he said, "By Gum, I chop a tree down and chop it up before I sit down to rest." Father was a great hand to say "By Gum" but that was the worst swear word he ever used, the crowd had a good laugh.

When I was sixteen years of age and father sent me to House Rock (the other side of the forest near Grand Canyon) in charge of a herd of sheep. Father, Isaac Losee and I moved the herd out there. The frost would fall every day until noon while we were crossing the Kaibab Mountain. Old settlers said it was the coldest winter they'd ever known. We stayed through the winter and went home in the spring.

When father was seventy years old and I was twenty-six, we were chopping logs at a sawmill. Father said to me, "Do you want to chop alone, or do you want to chop with me?" I thought if I helped father a little it would not be so hard for him and would not hurt me so I answered, "I think I'll chop with you, if it is alright.

We went out and started on a big tree, he on one side and I on the other side. It made me puff and blow just to keep up with him, let alone get ahead of him. Before long he said, "Well my chips are in," and I was not near the center where it was considered "the chips are in."

Father helped guard against the Indians in the early days in Utah and could have received a pension if a record of his time had been kept and presented, but no record was kept.

Father was an alternate in the High Council in the Kanab Stake and filled many positions in the church. He was a great lover of Brigham Young.

The St. George Temple was dedicated in 1877 and that year father and his brothers went there to do work for their dead and to have their own sealings done. There was much misunderstanding by members regarding this work in the early days of the church and many mistakes were made.

It seemed that they understood that they could not be sealed to their own father because he had not been a member of the church. So while I was on a mission in the St. George Temple in 1912 my sister Emaline sent me the records and I had all of father's brothers and sisters sealed to their own father and mother.

Father died from the effect of a fall. He was riding on a two-wheel cart and fell backward striking his head. The stroke did not come until one month after the accident. Death came August 28, 1897 just a month after returning from the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival of the saints into the Salt Lake Valley. He was seventy-nine years old.

At father's funeral, Charles Negus Carroll, one of those who spoke said, "We can say with truth, there lays an honest man." What greater tribute can be paid any man?

194 The following is a listing from the Washington City (Utah) Pioneer Memorial --

Samuel Jefferson Adair -- 1806 -1889

Samuel J. Adair was born March 28, 1806 in Laurens County, South Carolina. The Adair and mangum families were closely associated, Samuel marying Gemina Mangum. Five childeren were born to them while in Alabama.
They moved to Fulton, Itawamba County, Mississippi where they first learned of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, becoming members in 1845. Shortly after, they moved to Nauvoo [Illinois], and were forced by the mobs to leave the next winter of 1846. While living under unhealthy conditions in Iowa several of the family died including Samuel's Mother, wife and three of their children. At this time Samuel took three orpaned children to raise as his own.
When they arrived in Utah at first the Adair and Mangum families settled in the Payson-Nephi area. Being Southerners, they had grown cotton or at least had seen it grow, so Brigham Young called them to settle the southwest part of Utah and grow cotton. The families arrived in "Dixie" on April 15, 1857. The group explored the area and in may met with the Covington group at what is now called Adair Springs and laid out the town of Washington, naming it after President George Washington. Durning this time they called the area "Dixie" after their southern homeland.
Samuel's brother, Thomas J. Adair and wife Mary are given credit for having the first white child, Mary Elizabeth Adair, born in Washington City. Samuel and his family resided in Washington for 20 years after which some of the family lived in other parts of Utah, Nevada, California, and Arizona. Samuel died july 6, 1889 in Nutrioso, Arizona. One of his last statements to his children and friends was that he never raised his voice against the authorities of the church; neither did he fail to fill any misson to which he had been called. He died as he lived, a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Samuel Jefferson Adair 1806-1889

Samuel J. Adair was born March 28, 1806, in Laurens County, South Carolina. The Adair and Mangum families were closely associated, with both families moving to Pickens County, Alabama about 1828-29. Samuel married Gemima Mangum and five children were born to them while in Alabama. This same group then moved to Fulton, Itawamba County, Mississippi. It was here they first learned of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints, becoming members in 1845. Shortly after they moved to Nauvoo, they were forced to leave the area in the winter of 1846. They then made residence in Iowa, and while there, due to improper food, unhealthy drinking water and general unhealthy living conditions, many died. Three of Samuel's children, his wife Gemima and mother, Rebecca Brown Adair, passed away.

In 1852 the group left and traveled to Utah with a large company of Mormons. They endured the usual hardships of the trek across the plains. Before they left Iowa, Samuel took David L. Sechrist, an orphaned child, to raise. While on the plains he adopted two more children that apparently had lost their parents. These children were Alfred and Ann Catherine Chestnut [Kerry Petersen’s note: actually he found three including Sarah and raised Alfred and Ann]. When they arrived in Salt Lake City, Alfred recognized his real father's team of horses, but the supposed owner told Samuel to shut the boy up or he would shut him up himself. Some real skullduggery had to have taken place in Iowa. Samuel Adair raised these three children as his own. The Adairs and Mangums, after arriving in Utah, first settled in the Payson-Nephi area. While living there, they were called by Brigham Young to go south to settle the southwest part of the state and grow cotton. Being Southerners, they had grown cotton or at least had seen it grown. Samuel J. Adair was the leader of this group consisting of ten southern families.

They left the Payson area in March and arrived in "Dixie" on April 15, 1857. The group explored the area and in May 1857 they met with the Covington group at what is now called Adair Springs and laid out the town of Washington, naming it after President George Washington. Samuel and his family resided in Washington for 20 years. During this time they called the area "Dixie" after their southern homeland. Samuel's brother, Thomas J. Adair and Mary, Thomas's wife, are given credit for having the first white child, a girl, born in Washington City. Their daughter was born on the same day they entered the area, and she is recognized as the first white child born in Washington, Utah. They named this legacy baby, Mary Elizabeth Adair. The Adairs owned six lots of land in Block 35 in Washington on which they built homes for their families. Samuel J. was one of them. Only John Milton Adair's home still remains.

Samuel Jefferson's son, Samuel Newton Adair, became a well-known Washington citizen and Indian missionary. The records show that Samuel Jefferson had three children from Anne Catharine Laustdatter (Mattisen) in Denmark between 1839 and 1846 [Kerry’s note: this is incorrect - he married her after getting to Utah and never had any children with her]. He remarried her in Salt Lake City in 1864. This was no doubt to fulfill his belief that he needed to do this to satisfy his church's creed. Anne Catharine also appears in the Washington City census of 1870, showing she lived a long life with Samuel. He was the father of twelve children and raised three adopted ones. During his stay in Washington he did some traveling. On one trip to Payson in 1858 his son Rufus was inintentionally killed, by a pistol shot. He went to California in 1860 and stayed there until 1861 [Kerry’s note: incorrect -- he never went to California]. Later in life he moved to Nutrioso, Arizona, to settle that area. He passed away in Nutrioso on July 6, 1889. One of his last statements to his children and friends was that he never raised his voice against the authorities of his church; neither did he fail to fill any mission to which he had been called. He died as he lived, a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. None of the Adairs appear in the 1880 Washington census. They had gradually moved or had been called to resettle other areas including Minersville, Utah; Beaver, Utah; Panaca, Nevada and Nutrioso, Arizona. Even though the Adairs left the Washington City area in the 1870s, a large posterity of this family lives today in this same general area and the western part of the United States. 		Samuel Jefferson Adair
