Response to L. Adams. I would be interested in your information on Adams line.Three different lines of our Adams family have claimed to be related to John Adams, President going back to my gg grandfather John Adams b 1802 VA. He listed WVA in the 1870 Monroe Co. IN census.Our John 1802 went to KY then to Monroe Co. IN where he married Nancy Bell born 1802 in KY.Children were: James H. b Abt 1828, Hugh Calvin b Abt 1829, William Riley b 1831, John M./Quency (spelled Quency in family records) (my line) b 1835, Francis Marion, b Abt 1837, Ancil Monroe b 1838, and his twin sister Sarah Jane.I know we aren't direct descendants, but if we are related we would have to be descended from one of Henry's (Braintree) eight sons.
I am at a dead end locating John's parents and siblings.
I believe we are related to Hugh Adams b abt 1775 possibly in VA. Hugh was in KY, married to Eleanor Ellett, and we have the same family names and the same migration pattern. Hugh was in Monroe Co. IN before some of his family went on to Putnam Co. IN.
Any help would certainly be appreciated.
