Abraham Groves/Groeaf married Mary Adam, bonded by Jonnis Adam in 1779 Rowan Co, NC.The bond is viewable on microfilm at the Rowan Co Public Library in Salisbury NC.A letter of inquiry about the Adam/s family written in the 1950's is in the loose paper files of the same library.It relates the same story of the flight from Holland and living in NJ till Cornwallis created havoc in 1776 in NJ then the removal to NC.. probably recited from the book.
Abraham Groves lived in Iredell Co on the Co line with Rowan.John Adams and John Lowrance were his neighbors on the Rowan side with whom he shared property bounderies which are reflected in deeds in both Rowan and Iredell
Around 1820 Abraham and most of his children and their spouses moved toward western Tn, eventually Hickman Co Tn.Abraham Jr, from shom I descend, moved to Lowndes co Ms by the 1830 census
Do you know if any of the male Lowrance descendants have had a DNA test?I know of a Lawrence family who have an ancestral relative who first appears in 1820's Illinois who was named Iredell Lawrence.I wonder if it is the same family.
