Frances,

Thanks, for your reply. You can find "The Handbook of Texas" on this site:
http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/

Type in Marlin and you will find information I think you will enjoy reading.
If you care to read about the Adams I am interested in, type in Allensworth
and you will find information on my grgr grandfather Allensworth Adams.
His daughter, my great grandmother, was the one born at Marlin, Texas.

Have fun.

Maxine
