Re: ADAMS, NC & Tn.

I hadn't "tuned in" the GenForum for a while and was delighted that several descendents of Jesse Adams now seem to be participating. Following up on information you provided on Mourning I too requested Jesse's Rev.file and have it on loan at the library (microfilm version).Unfortunately the film is extremely poor with blotches all over it and large portions of most pages illegible.My reading of Gillum's 1822 sibling listing was Nancy born 20 Nov 1782, Patsy 4 Apr 1785, Henry 14 Apr 1786, Alsey 31 Jul 1788, Elizza 1 Jan 1791, Unicy 3 Feb 1793?, Millie 23 Mar 1795?, Tabitha 16 Oct 1797, Jesse 3 Apr 1802, Gillum 14 Jun 1804, Morning 2 Oct 1806 and Young 25 Apr 1809.Assuming you have a more legible copy could you correct any transcription errors I made?Do you have a copy or summary of all the Jesse Adams pages? Unless I read it wrong or took something within the body text out of context it appears Jesse identified his brothers as Briant and Benjamin(?).As a descendent of Bryant of TN/KY I had been focusing on the Johnston Co, NC Briant/Bryant as the most likely NC matchup until you brought my attention to Jesse.I note Jesse & Briant's pension files tie together extremely well with both in Franklin Co, NC around the same time.If they were indeed brothers we are on the same trail as other GenForum participants trying to identify the father of Briant Adams who was born during 1756 "at a place called Three Creeks" (county forgotten) in VA.Has anyone had any luck in this direction?I will welcome contacts with any of the "researching cousins".My email is waynea@qis.net in case I fail to pick up the latest GenForum exchanges..
