Are they related?

Abednigo, Jr. & Sr. are shown on the 1810 Rutherford County, NC census. I
find only one Abednigo in later years which I assume is the Jr. He is shown
to have been born 1760 to 1770.

Francis Adams, Sr. was born ca 1740 and Francis Adams, Jr. born 1763. Both
in Ireland. They arrived in Charleston, SC 1772 with other members of their
family.

Therefore, Abednigo, Sr. & Francis, Sr. appear to be about the same age.

I found a Francis, John & Samuel living near the 2 Abednigos on the 1810
Rutherford County, NC census. These are all names used by the 2 Francis
Adamses above.

Also, I found Abednigo(3rd) born 1812 and Francis(3rd) born 1798 living in
Tennessee in later years.

I am desperately searching for the parents of my gg-grandfather, John Adams.
The only facts I know about him is he was born in NC in 1815
and died in Leake County, MS in 1872. In my digging I believe there is a
relationship to Francis Adams, but have not been able to prove it.

Any small lead will be greatly appreciated.
