Re: ADAMS of Halifax County

I have been researching another branch of this family. I have found an online correspondence referring to records that appear to show John m Susannah Wood as the son of Gabriel Adams. This certainly seems confirmed by the fact that Gabriel Adams had known sons Philip and Sylvester, and that Gabriel's son William of Fairfax Co also appears to have had a son named Sylvester.
Although I have not seen the actual documents, this is a description of what should be looked for:
John Adams of Lunenburg Co. and his wife Susanna sold 100 acres land in Fairfax Co. being the same tract willed to John Adams by his father Gabriel in 1750. This transaction was in 1758 and during the period t__ 1762, a John Adams and Susanna, his wife sold a number of parcels of land in Lunenburg Co., all being part of a larger tract which had been bought from Drury Stith of Brunswick Co. containing 800 acres.
Fairfax Co records show the following, which seems to confirm the Lunenburg Co records.
