Bill,
All of the Adams that I know anything about were from Henrico which became Goochland County, VA.As they moved up the James River they ended up in a part of Goochland that became Albemarle and later Fluvanna counties.James Adams,Sr married in Goochland Co.His son James Adams, Jr. married in Charlotte County.
Have you participated in an Adams DNA project.That should give you a general direction for the family.The more Adams participants we have, the better chance we can figure out who was who back in the 1700's.
There are a lot of Robert, James and William Adams in VA in the 1700's.There seem to be several totally unrelated families. At least DNA shows that there were different male lines.Either there was a lot of coincidence with the names, or there was a whole lot of fooling around with the Adams women.
Let me know about the DNA
