2020 Primary Election Information By Lisa Greer Adair County Clerk Due to the pandemic, our Governor postponed Primary Election Day to June 23, 2020 (Executive Order 2020-296). With this Executive Order the Governor worked with our Secretary of State to create the order that changes the manner by which this election will be conducted. Using the Executive Order, the State Board of Elections created emergency regulations and procedures to follow. Hopefully, this style of election will drastically reduce any potential exposure to the COVID-19 virus for the voter and for election workers. Reminder: this only applies to the June 23, 2020 Primary The postponement, executive order, and regulations were all created so that this election can be safe, secure, and successful. Along with this decision the Adair County Board of Elections has developed a plan to facilitate in-person early voting for those that feel their liberties are being infringed upon. With this two-front approach to the election, we feel that every voter will have ample opportunity to practice their right to vote.

History Monday: John Field, Early Settler, Merchant By Mike Watson John Field is my ancestor, and the ancestor of many who still reside in Adair County. Here is a brief sketch from An Adair County Kentucky History, Volume 2. John Field, Jr. was a son of John Field, Sr. and Sarah White. The elder Field died early in 1778 in Bedford County, VA, a young man, and left a will. He left a wife and two very young sons, John and Thomas. John was born in September 1777 in Bedford County; the birth date, place and later whereabouts of Thomas are unknown, but it is theorized that he died as a child, for no mention is ever found of him after the reference in the father's will. John Field, Jr. came to Adair County as a youth of barely sixteen years with his step-father, William Hurt, Sr. John Field married Martisha Stapp, daughter of Joshua Stapp, Jr., in Green County 29 July 1801. He was an early merchant in Columbia, owned a vast amount of land in Adair and elsewhere, was the first county jailer, the first Columbia postmaster, and traveled widely. He went nearly bankrupt in the 1820s as a result of careless business practices that overwhelmed him after the Panic of 1819 reached Kentucky. He died in Adair, near Glensfork where he had lived after leaving Columbia in the 1820s, on 15 December 1857, and is buried, along with his wife, in the John Powell cemetery with no markers. This cemetery was the final resting place because his son, William B. Field, was the husband of Sarah Powell, daughter of John Powell, for whom the cemetery was named. John and Martisha's children were: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2020-05-11 06:14:18 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Mike Watson - History
