About Nancy Jane Stevens
Not a known child of James Adair of Bladen County, not listed in his will. See https://www.geni.com/discussions/179495?msg=1209161
I believe this is Nancy ---She is half Cherokee. However, there seems to be no real way to prove this. Her parents are said to be James Robert Adair and Esther Ann McBride (full-blood Cherokee)

Biography
Nancy Jane Adair was the daughter of James Robert Adair(1709) and Ann Ester McBride(1710-1781).
Nancy Adair was a near relative of General John Adair, Governor of Kentucky. General Adair was born in Chester Co., S. C. in 1759. He fought in the Battle of New Orleans, Jan 8, 1815; commanded Kentucky Militia and was a member of Congress from Kentucky. He died in 1840. [1]
Nancy married Harrison 'Harris' Tyner. Their children include:
- Elijah (1760-1841)
- Harris (1765-1887)
- Richard (1770-1836)
- William Jasper (1771-1854
- Mehitabel (1774-1848)
- E James (1776-?)
- Margaret (1778-1845
- Susanna A (1775-1813)
- John (17 August 1776-1822) twin
- James (17 August 1776- 1823) twin
Harris Tyner was "raised on the Pedee River and there married Nancy Adair (an aunt of General Adair, a future Governor of Kentucky) and...most of the relatives have it that they immediately after marriage moved to Abbeville District, South Carolina...." [2]No evidence has been found linking her to General Adair. Could she be a child or close relative of James Adair, Indian trader and historian?
Another resource file has her married after the death of Harris Tyner to Burrel Stevens. [3] Their known children are
Shadrick, Betsy and Susan Stevens. Elial, (moved to Indiana; died in Wabash County, Indiana) Ezekiel (moved to Indiana,) Betsa. This list may be incomplete. It derives from pedigree resource files.
Nancy passed away 29 JAN 1835 and is buried at Lick Creek Baptist Cemetery, Harrison Township, Fayette Co., Indiana. [4]
