Lisa, thank you for your post. I have long wondered if this ADAMS family could be mine? My John ADAMS was b ca 1802 VA, he spent time in TN and KY before dying in either Saline Co or White County IL about 1857-8.Your Marion Co IL family has room for another son, and there isn't a namesake for father John. I know that your ADAMSES were in Logan Co KY for a while before continuing on to Marion Co IL, according to family oral tradition, John b ca 1802 went away to "trade with the Indians",(for abt. 5 yrs) and when he returned the family had moved on, and he looked but never found them again.
I agree with you on the John "L", I have seen the posts, my cousin insists on putting a "Q" in our John's name, but I haven't ever seen a middle name for him either.
There were other ADAMSES in Madison and Macoupin Cos. IL that were from VA too. They were in TN, McMinn Co, for a while, and they are suspect too, as there was a John about the correct age in McMinn Co TN for my John.
Either way I wish to thank you for posting your family, every little bit helps, and this makes your family clearer for me.
Regards, Kathleen
