Re: Reuben Adams, Adams TN. Lets solve ; 40 yrsFINAL OF SERIES

Margaret, your note presents entirely different potential for unscrambling this early family.

I have that Gabriel and Katherine named a son "Nipper" and don't have the source handy. I note that they carry on also the name Phillip, Catherine, John...

Here is a chart that summarizes to the best of my ability what I could discern or guess from FamilySearch, ancestry.com, and GenForum (for wives family names).Did not look at the county records.So recognize that this probably means little, but is result ofreviewing on-line info, where some use internet as a place to post suppositions, perhaps regardless of geography: (No early "William" in the bunch.)
