General Notes (Husband)
The first ancestor known at this time, year 2000, is Jame s Adger of Dunean, County Antrim, Ireland, Province Ulster . He is buried in the Old Episcopal Church Yard in Dunea n and the tombstone bears this inscription; Here Lies The Body Of JAMES ADGER Who Died March 25th, 1783 Aged 41 Years
On one side of his grave is an old stone to John Edger , 1701, and next to that one, another to Robert Edger, 1702 , Still another stone inscribed, John Edger, of Cargan, 18 78, aged ninety years, and his wife Nancy, 1885, aged ninet y one years. The name Adger was spelled one of three way s in Ireland, Adger, Adgar and Edger, they were all pronoun ced the same way we pronounce Adger. To quote Ellison Moul trie Adger, who I am taking some of my notes from, "My Grea t Grandfather's brother, James Adger Junior, said the Adge r family were of French decent and Huguenot Refugees who we nt to Ireland from France after the Edict of Nantes was se t aside. He claimed that our ancestors fought at the battl e of London Derry. Once speaking to his daughter Jane Ann , who was ambitious of an honorable ancestry said, "Your an cestors fought at Derry till they were lousy, and that is h onor enough for you." That battle was fought in 1689. The se same remarks can be read in John Bailey Adger's book, "M y Life and Times." He was the son on James Adger Junior.
Quoting John B. Adger, grandson of James Adger 1, "M y grandfather had a brass stamp that he used to stamp all o f his linen." He describes it further, "It is made of a s olid plate of solid brass into which are cut the names Jame s Adger, Dunean, Antrim and it has a nicely turned wooden h andle. This stamp put into blue ink was then pressed by th e hand upon every piece of linen cloth. My sister Jane An n gave the stamp to Ellison Adger Smyth, born October 26, 1 847 in Charleston, South Carolina and died December 3, 1942 , in Flat Rock, North Carolina, a great grand son of Jame s Adger 1. Ellison Moultrie Adger said of Smyth, "He owne d and operated a cotton mill he called, "The Dunean Mill" , and was often referred to as the "Dean of the Southern Te xtile Industry." John B. Adger went onto say, "There i s a memorandum on a little, old yellow fragment of paper, b y whom written does not appear, which reads thus, "James Ad ger died March the 25th, 1783,"He left his widow well to do ."
John Bailey visited his grandfather's grave site in 18 38. speaking of the three grave sites of Edger men, "Any t hree of these men could have been Huguenot Refugees." He s aid of the site, "The stone is erect, in good condition, t he marble fine, seven or eight inches thick. The grave i s sodded over and in good repair." He met a man on his tri p by the name of Frederick McCullough, whose mother was a n Adger. He also visited the mill location in Dunean and t he water wheel was still there, the locals referred to it a s "The Old Mill."
Some of my thoughts are; even though it has been ment ioned in several places that the Adgers went to Scotland th en Ireland and America. If they did fight at Derry as Hugu enots they would have been more likely to join the thousand s of refugees at Province Ulster, Ireland, where it is sai d their numbers were many who set up linen and silk factori es. There is a time period of 53 years from the time of th e battle of London Derry and James Adger1 birth and 94 year s from Derry to his death. Not much time,only 41 years, t o establish such a successful factory as his must have been . Are we then looking at possibly his father establishin g the mill and James continuing on in that field? We are l ooking at only one generation that cannot, at this time, b e accounted for. The names Kidd and McCullough may be th e way to trace that lost generation. Margaret Adger, 1747- 1805 married William McCrorey 1747-1838, their daughter Sus annah married William Adger, son of James Adger 1 and Marga ret Crawford. I have often wondered if by chance Susanna h and William were siblings. If so then their offsprings w ho married would be, I believe, double first cousins. Th e dates would indicate the possibility of this. On readin g William E. Glassell's,Ill, notes on the Ellison/Adger lin e he makes a statement that they were brother and sister . There is no proof of that at this time however.
I have recently received information from a Terrance A dger in the United Kingdom who has sent me family trees o f 2 Irish Adger lines, 1 Scot Adger line and a huge Englis h Adger line. As we develop this information, it will be a dded to these notes.
There is no reference to the daughter of James and Mar garet Crawford, Jane, anywhere except in John Bailey's book . Since he was James's grandson I am inclined to believe h e is right. There is solid proof that Margaret Crawford, h er second husband, Robert Rodgers and all their children ca me to America, other than Jane. I therefore assume Jane an d her husband Charles Kidd stayed in Ireland.

General Notes (Wife)
Margaret Crawford (Adger) Rodgers in 1794 faced a perso nal dilemma. She had been the wife of James Adger, a prospe rous linen manufacturer in Dunean, County Antrim, Ireland . But he had died in 1783 at the age of 41. She married hi s mill foreman, Robert Rodgers.
Rodgers, as an Adger descendant has written, was not th e husband Margaret had hoped he would be. "He soon ran thro ugh her property, being too fond of whiskey, " a family his torian has written.
Margaret now had a family of seven children at home; he r two sons and a daughter by James Adger; James, Robert an d Betsy; and four little girls by Rodgers - Esther, Margare t, Mary and Isabella. How would they survive?
The couple decided to come to America. Perhaps they woul d join her oldest son, William Adger, who had emigrated ear lier and was now living in South Carolina. He wrote enthusi astic letters about his land and his hopes for success ther e.
The family sailed from Ireland, arriving in New York in J anuary, 1794. Tragedy struck three days later. The Rodgers ' infant daughter, Isabella, who had been sick aboard ship , died three days after their arrival.
Sometime after their arrival, the Adger book reports, R obert Rodgers "reformed". The couple ran a grocery store i n New York. The two Adger boys, who were teen-agers, got jo bs. The family soon, had enough money to move to Fairfiel d County, South Carolina, and join William there. Some of t he Rodgers' daughters later lived with relatives in Kinderh ook, New York.
Several of Margaret's children had all the success she co uld have dreamed of when they left Ireland for New York. On e, James Adger II, settled in Charleston, established sever al businesses, organized a railroad, and at one time was ra nked the fourth richest man in the United States.
This and more are recorded in Rev. John B. Adger's book , "My Life and Times", published in 1899.
