Known back home as “Black Jack” but in Texas as “an English aristocrat,” Ireland’s own (or disowned) John George Adair came to the Panhandle in 1877 with his wife Cornelia and Charles Goodnight to hands-on establish the JA Ranch. After his death in 1885, Mrs. Adair and Goodnight continue the enterprise until 1887, and then part ways.
