Briton Adams, 1759 Sussex > NC > TN
Looking for the parents of Brittian (Briton) Adams, born Sussex Co., Va., 15 June 1759. By 13 August 1780 he was in Edgecombe Co., N.C. as he sold land in Sussex Co. (150 acres to Richard Rose of Sussex).He (in fact two Britons) appears in the 1790 Census, Halifax District, Edgecombe Co., N.C.
There he married Unity House.The family later moved to middle Tennessee and finally western Tennesse, Haywood Co., where Brittian claimed land for his service in the Revolution.He had at least two sons: Thomas A.(Atkinson?) Adams and James W.(Wilkinson?) Adams born in 1806 and 1805.It is reported that Brittian is the grandson of Benjamin Adams of Sussex; but, I have not found the connection.Any help would be appreciated.
