In "Cherokee Planters in GA . . ." page 39 is found
"Walter Scott Adair (1791-1854), known as "Red Watt,"
was born in Pendleton Dist., SC, where he was elected sheriff when a young man.
A son of Edward Adair . . . young Walter had been educated at the best of schools,
later moved into the Cherokee Nation and took a reservation of 640 acres in
Hall Co., GA under the treaty of 1819. In the 1820's he became a Chief Justice of the Cherokee
Supreme Court. "

I do not have this book, but had copied a few pages out of it.
Other Adairs are mentioned in it.
