Green Adams married Olive Maynard on September 26, 1814 in Johnston County, NC.Olive was the daughter of George Maynard and his wife Sarah "Sally" Whittington of Johnston County.Olive Maynard was named for her grandmother, Olive (Stephenson) Whittington.
Green Adams settled in Benton County, TN, where he married Mary "Polly" Townsend on August 20, 1845.
DNA testing was done by a descendant of Green Adams' younger brother Alfred Adams.A collateral branch of the family descended from Joseph Adams (d. 1837) of Wake County, NC was also tested.The results show that this Adams family were originally McGuires from Ireland, and later became Adams/McAdams.
