Ideally, we want it to get to those people who are descended from Rockford, North Carolina families. We want them to go to our website and register themselves so that we can communicate as a group.

Here is my story: James Adams was born in TN 1799 (according to census) he died just before 1850 (dang it) in Ray County MO. He married Catherine Thomas b. NC abt 1801 and died between 1870 and 1880 in Ray County MO under her second husbands name "Shanks". Catherine and James married abt 1824 in NC and had these children in NC. 1. John Quincy Adams b. 1825 d. 1872 in Ray County MO. md. Elizabeth ?. 2. Samuel Madison Adams b. 1826 in NC d. Ray County Mo. md. Jane Cox 22 Sep 1850 Ray County. 3.Barsheba Adams b. 1831 in NC md. Asa Mann in MO. Next children born in Ray County MO: 4.Mary Jane Adams b. 1835 MO md. Thomas Davis. 5. Benjamin Franklin Adams (Our line) b. 1839 Ray Co, MO. d 25 Feb 1929 Oakland, Alameda, CA. bur. Union Star Cemetery Dekalb Co, MO. md. Lodusky Jane Roanski Cummins b. 2 Jan 1844 Ray Co, MO. Daughter of Madison Cummins and Patsy Davis Cummins of Knox who were both born in Ohio. Madison is the son of Moses Cummins Jr. and Catherine Shields who are part of the "Cummins Mystery". They came from Rockingham Co, VA. Patsy's parents were John Davis and Leah Harris of VA. Benjamin and Lodusky were married 5 Sept 1859 in Ray County, MO. Lodusky Jane died 25 Nov 1911 in Union Star (at her oldest son John Henry Ulysses Adams home( Mary Gottschall was his wife). Loduskky is buried in Union Star Cemeery with Benjamin. Their daughter Rachel Adams Elliott is also there. 6.Cleopatra Ann (Patra) Adams b. 27 Aug 1841 Ray Co, MO. d. 25 Mar 1917 Elmira Ray, MO. md. Abram R. Powell on the 16th of Sep 1866, Ray Co, MO. 7.Henry Clay Adams b. 1843, Ray Co, MO. md. Martha I. Shanks. 20 Jan 1863 in Ray Co, MO. 8. George Washington Adams b. 20 Feb 1847 Ray Co, MO. d. 20 Jul 1920, MO. bur Union Cemetery Ray Co MO. md. Susan Taylor 13 Feb 1867, Ray County MO. The son of George Washington told his grandson that the Adams came from a place called Little Laurel. There is one in Ashe Co NC and one I believe in Greene Co TN. James was said to have been half Cherokee, we have no proof but all the family has passed that down. I don't know how to find any proof of it because it was too early. James was in MO in 1835. The indians were not moving yet. Unless..his mother belonged to the Eastern Band of Cherokee, does anyone on this list know anything about them? We have a cousin in Fayetteville NC (just discovered) that has they old pictures of Great Aunt Sylvia Adams Kelly, in those pictures is a picture of an indian woman and her husband. I have not seen it yet, but may have to go to NC to make copies. I am very interested in finding out who the THomas' were also, anyone on here that this sounds familiar to? Rose Adams in CA.

They are being removed by Local Government and taken to another place stored in a warehouse, away from public access. This means land Deeds, tax records will be removed. Their intent is to move the records to a central location and charge heavy dollars for researching your families history. Other states will probably follow suit. In the wake of this, LDS is making their genealogy records FREE : May 14, 2007 FamilySearch to Provide Access to World's Genealogical Records This is perhaps the most important genealogy announcement of the past few years. The following announcement was written by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: FamilySearch Unveils Program to Increase Access to World's Genealogical Records Tidal Wave of Online Databases Will Result SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH-FamilySearch announced today its Records Access program to increase public access to massive genealogy collections worldwide. For the first time ever, FamilySearch will provide free services to archives and other records custodians who wish to digitize, index, publish, and preserve their collections. The program expands FamiliySearch's previously announced decision to digitize and provide online access to over 2 million rolls of copyrighted microfilm preserved in the Granite Mountain Records Vault. A key component of the program allows FamilySearch and archives to team with genealogy websites to provide unprecedented access to microfilm in the vault. The combined results ensure a flood of new record indexes and images online at www.FamilySearch.org and affiliated websites. The plan combines the assets and experience of the Genealogical Society of Utah with the state-of-the-art technology resources of FamilySearch-all under the single brand name of FamilySearch. The Records Access program allows records custodians to publish their data online by themselves or with the assistance of FamilySearch or affiliate genealogical websites and historical societies. "Records custodians worldwide are experiencing growing pressure to provide access to their records online while maintaining control and ownership. At the same time, websites that provide digitizing and publishing services are struggling with the staggering costs," said Wayne Metcalfe, director of Records Services for FamilySearch. "The new Record Access program takes advantage of FamilySearch's resources and creates an economical and effective forum where record custodians and genealogical websites can work together to accomplish their respective objectives," added Metcalfe. Working with the records custodians, FamilySearch can leverage its extensive microfilm and growing digital image collection to create digital images for affiliate genealogical websites at a fraction of the cost. The affiliate genealogy organization will create indices of the digital images and then publish the images and the indices on its own website, the archive's website, or a jointly published site. A copy of the index will also be made available for free on the popular FamilySearch website, which will help drive traffic to record images on the custodians' or affiliates' sites. Full, free access to both the indices and images will be provided to family history centers, FamilySearch managed facilities, and the archives. If the record custodian seeks revenue to sustain operations, a small fee may be required to access images outside FamilySearch managed facilities or the archive. For archives and heritage societies, the new program benefits include: a.. Digitally capture, preserve, and publish records online b.. Increase access to records while maintaining control and ownership c.. Increase patronage and business viability d.. Over 100 years of archival and publishing experience For genealogy websites, the new program helps them: · Benefit from the knowledge and relationships of FamilySearch with the archival community worldwide · Significantly lower costs associated with acquiring, preserving, or providing access to data · Increase business viability and website traffic · Leverage an open platform that develops value-added services around FamilySearch, the world's largest repository of genealogical data. Under the program, FamilySearch will also provide tools and assistance to records custodians who want to publish parts of their collection using state-of-the-art digital cameras, software, and web-based applications. The archive can work with an affiliate, historical society, or FamilySearch to index the images or host a website for the records custodian. The index of the record collection will be available for free on FamilySearch, and the records custodian's site will provide access to the images for free or a fee depending on the needs of the archive and those assisting in the digitization. One example of the tools FamilySearch can provide is FamilySearch Indexing, a web-based application that engages tens of thousands of volunteers worldwide to create searchable indexes linked to the digital images created by FamilySearch. "Through mere word-of-mouth promotions, literally tens of thousands of volunteers are already joining this effort to index the world's records by registering at FamilySearchIndexing.org and donating a few minutes a week online to the effort. Over 100,000 volunteers are expected to enlist in the initiative by year end with the numbers increasing as more projects-particularly international projects-are added," said Paul Nauta, manager of Public Affairs for FamilySearch. FamilySearch will announce the first collaborative projects of its new Records Access program during the National Genealogical Society (NGS) Convention in Richmond, Virginia, the week of May 14, 2007. Many more project announcements are expected in the following months. Record custodians and archives that would like additional information regarding the FamilySearch Records Services can contact Wayne Metcalfe (metcalfewj@gensocietyofutah.org) and genealogy web service providers should contact Dave Harding (hardingdp@ldschurch.org). FamilySearch (historically known as the Genealogical Society of Utah) is a nonprofit organization sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. FamilySearch maintains the world's largest repository of genealogical resources accessed through www.FamilySearch.org, the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, and over 4,500 family history centers in 70 countries.
