Agnew, _Hereditary Sheriffs of Galloway_, 50 _et seq._ Footnote i2: _Ibid._ Footnote i3: Chalmers, _Caledonia_, V, 395. Footnote i4: In Dr. James B. Adair’s _Adair History and Genealogy_ it is stated that Adair first settled in Pennsylvania, but Ghent in his article on Adair in _Dictionary of American Biography_, I, 33, refuses to follow him, and it seems, for good reasons. Only one reference in Adair’s book is to Pennsylvania, and that merely to the Pennsylvania Germans. Footnote i5: _History of American Indians_, 307. Footnote i6: Hunter’s Map has a notation which shows that Haig had also made a map or sketch of the region. Footnote i7: _Hist. Am. Inds._, 344. See note 194 _infra_. Footnote i8: A monopoly of one year’s duration had been offered McGillivray in 1749 on condition that he should win over the Choctaws. Footnote i9: Adair was not alone in the indulgence of biting criticism of Glen. Gov. Dinwiddie, of Virginia, wrote of him (1755): “He is altogether the strangest possitive assuming Man I ever corresponded with, and there I leave him.” _Dinwiddie Papers_, I, 508. Footnote i10: _Hist. Am. Inds._, 323. Footnote i11: This pamphlet is referred to in the book. It is not improbable that it was composed by Adair for Roche. Footnote i12: If this work ever issued from the press, those best versed in the bibliography of South Carolina have never seen or heard of a copy, as they state to the writer. Footnote i13: From Beaver Creek, in 2 _Indian Book_ (S. C. Archives), p. 56. For other minor or incidental mention of Adair: _Ibid._, 23; Council Journal, Jan. 26, 1747; Commons House Journal, Feb. 16, 1747, June 1, 1749; May 16 and 23, 1750. Footnote i14: See text _infra_. Footnote i15: _Gentlemen’s Magazine_ (1760) XXX, 45, correspondence from South Carolina of date Nov. 24, 1759. Footnote i16: _S. C. Gazette_, Nov. 24, 1759. Footnote i17: _Gentlemen’s Magazine_, XXX, 442, 541, 593. Footnote i18: _S. C. Gazette_, July 19, 1760. Footnote i19: Book D, pp. 358, 379, S. C. Archives, and _S. C. Gazette_ of Aug. 2, 1760. The Chickasaws, under Brown and Adair, were by no means pleased by the inactivity of Montgomery at Fort Prince George and less so by his decision to beat a further retreat to Charles Town. For mention of their own activities, see _S. C. Gazette_ of Aug. 2, 1760, based upon communication from that fort of July 14th. “We hear that the Chickasaws who arrived at Fort Prince George the 5th instant have left that fort with disgust after scouting three or four days about it, and that they got a few scalps which they carried with them.” _Ibid._, of July 26th. Footnote i20: “The Virginia troops likewise kept far off in flourishing parade, without coming to our assistance.” See notes 139-41 to text, _infra_. Footnote i21: _S. C. Gazette_, Aug. 9, 1760.
