Adams who lived in Pike county, Alabama.  I have done research into Pike county and did come across someone of that name.   In reviewing what people have on the web for Elias and Ellen, I didn't find any information about that couple having a son called Wade Hampton and only one person out of several who gave  the name of Needham for one of their children.  Unfortunately, that person did not list any sources for that information.   So, I'm rather skeptical of Elias Adams and Ellen Harllee for the parents for Wade Hampton and Needham.   Cathy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
