About
John Bailey Adger, (1810–1899) was an American Missionary from Charleston, S. C. His father, James Adger, was very wealthy and influential in the city, and his nephew, James Adger Smyth, would later be mayor of Charleston. Going to New York for college, he graduated in 1828 from Union College before attending Princeton Theological Seminary. Graduating in 1833, the next year he was ordained by the Presbytery of Charleston Union and was sent to evangelize to Armenians in modern-day Turkey. While there he translated the bible and religious texts into local languages and managed a printing press. After 12 years his eyesight began to fade, causing him to resign and return to the United States. On his journey back home, he would meet with family in London, and gain exposure to the slavery debate and gain an appreciation for the abolitionist position (though he remained a general supporter of slavery in the United States).
