Hello,
I am Marsha Hamilton, from Kentucky, and come from the Adams line who came,
from Virginia to Kentucky and intermarried with the Douglass and Timberlake
families.

If you are able or willing to help me with my line I would appreciate
knowing for sure if I have the right people connected. My grandmother Maude
Ann Dye b 1889 and died in 1962 had this people written down to herself

(1) WILLIAM ADAMS whose wife was unknown to her. She has no dates but I am
interjecting b abt 1680. Do you know who he was married to and if he had
other children beside....

(2) ROBERT ADAMS no birthdate but I will say born abt 1700 in Goochland
Co., Va...here again I am not sure of the Goochland information that his my
guess....ROBERT according to my grandmother, married, MOURNING LEWIS (d/o
WILLIAM LEWIS and wife unknown....

She has no proof written for WILLIAM LEWIS...are there documents for him,
his wife's name, other children, dates, and where they came from?

(3) CHILDREN OF ROBERT ADAMES and MORUNING LEWIS
(a) Anna md Charles Douglas this my grandmothers line which she
concentrated on....if anyone wants anything on this line let me know.
(b) James
(c) Judith
(d) Elizabeth
The only one I have information on is Anna although I do not have her
birthdate.

I am at
Marsha

Library of Va. at Richmond has a nice "Terrell" Familty history. Try that, I
travel a lot and am currently "on the road"
When I get home I will see if I have a better source for you. Look for a
follow up in a couple of days.
My line goes through John Lynch Adams. Frances' brother.
Looking at what I have with me I also do not have Frances.
I do have:
Robet
Joel Terrell m Dianitia Walden
William m Agatha Lewis
Mary Terrell

John Lynch m Martha Walden
George m Ann Weisinger
Christopher m Matilda Powell
James
Edward
Mildred m George Webb
Amelia m George Webb
Penelope,
A total of 13 children.
Just a side note on "our" family of that vintage.
Moormans, Terrell's, Lynch's, Wards, Johnston's, were all Quakers, to a
greater or lesser degree's. Marraige to people outside of the faith could
get one dissowned, or at least thrown out of the "Society of Friends". The
Joel Terrell above was a "Hard Shell Baptist" preacher, he led a faction of
the Strawberry hill Synod, which seperated from the main body of the area
Baptists. He is mentioned in a book on 18th century Baptist churches of
western Va.
Frances may have been a familiar name, one used instead of her given name?
Who did she mary?
I have had some luck looking for related family histories. The good
genealogists usually go into some depth on the lines which mary into there
studied line.
Along with Terrell I have tried, Clay, Dearing, Ward, Watkins,Moorman,
obviously Adams.
Unless I see primary evidence I DO NOT TRUST the LDS histories. It is a
great place for research, but I have seen the same disapointing attribution
on Our line. ApAdams of Wales is not I believe where we came from.
Good hunting
