* A soldier in the revolution, Adair was in a skirmish called "Huck's Defeat". JOSEPH ADAIR, JR.
* The following information is from the book "Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution" by Bobby Moss:
He served under Col. Edward Lacey (see below) and was at Huck's Defeat. Huck's Defeat is also known as the Battle of Williamson's Plantation.
* The following information is from The Bicentennial Guide To the American Revolution The War in the South, Volume 3, by Sol Stember:
...On Wednesday, July 11, 1780, Captain Christian Huck, a Loyalist officer who served with Tarleton, brought 500 Tories and British here, including some of Tarleton's legion from Rocky Mount to wipe out a band of rebels who were preparing to join Sumter. Sumter was marshalling his militia for his role in the Camden campaign. He found two Whigs melting lead into bullets, imprisoned them, threatened to hang them, and then located the house of Colonel William Bratton... ...The wife of one of the men threatened with hanging rode off to Sumter's bivouac with news of the raid. Col. Bratton and Captain Edward Lacey, Jr., with several other officers and about 500 men, left at once, but by the time they reached the vicinity of Huck's camp, their 500 had somehow melted away to 90. Captain Lacey, who lived nearby, had to have his own father, a Tory through and through, tied into his bed to prevent him from warning Huck. At dawn on the 12th, the Whigs attacked, catching the Tories where they were camped between plantation rail fences. Huck was killed, and so were thirty or forty of his men; only twelve of Tarleton's men escaped. The Whigs lost one man killed, and the two men awaiting Huck's justice were freed...
