I am trying this again. I am looking to connect my Washington Adams (1811-1863) with his proper parentage and ancestors. An Aunt, no longer living, claimed that our Washington Adams descends from the John Adams family or at least connected to that family. My Washington was born in Ohio in 1811. I do not know where in Ohio but this information came from several census years. However, in 1832 Washington married Laura Hill in Lagrange county IN. Laura was the daughter of Dr. Moses Hill and his wife Betsey Winslow. Washington and Laura had 3 children. Mary J., Martha, and Moses I. Adams. Prior to 1861 Washington moved his family to Mt Carroll IL where in 1861 daughter Mary J married Andrew Jackson Christian. In 1863 Washington passed away. Later, son Moses I moved to Iowa. Living nearby Washington and Laura in the 1840 census was a family of John Adams who may have been Washington’s parents or at least related to him. This John Adams family lived in Michigan and may have lived in Ohio around 1811 before moving to Lagrange IN. John and his wife had a large family and some of them moved to Muscatine county Iowa around 1837. Washington’s son, Moses I Adams moved there as well from Mt Carroll, IL. With all of this, I hope some Adams family researcher can add information that will confirm and add to the information I have on this family. Thank you for your help.
