Greetings,
I am researching my Adams roots, and in reading your posting, I am wondering if the James Adams you mention is my g-g-g-grandfather. I am looking for the father and mother of John A. Adams, who was born in South Carolina in 1817. I have been told that his father's name was James and that is all I have. I've hit a brick wall. I've got my fingers crossed in hopes of maybe a lead. I hope I havn't troubled you and I thank you for your time.
Greg Adams


>>Hi Grace,
>>I have not seen the book you mentioned. But I have
>>seen a
>>copy of the book about James Adams, husband of Frances
>>Herndon, and his descendants. I can't remember the
>>exact name of the book but it was put together by
>>Chloe Adams Whitehead. I may be wrong about that name
>>too. I copied some pages from the book, but
>>evidentally I didn't copy the
>>pages with Chloe's name and the title of the book.
>>All of
>>James' and Frances' children are named in the book
>>along with their grandchildren, and James' other two
>>wives he had after Frances died. In a letter to "The
>>Messenger", a Primitive Baptist publication, William
>>Adams, one of James'
>>son, states that James was born in Franklin County,
>>VA, on March 5, 1795, and moved to Elbert county, GA,
>>in 1818 or 19. He married Frances in 1820 and shortly
>>after that, James and Frances moved to Jasper county.

>>Do you know if there are anymore copies of "The Adams
>>& Stricklands of Coldwater Creek, Elbert County,
>>Georgia"?
>>I would love to read it.
