The father of my Thomas Adams was believed to be a sailor. Thomas came from a family of 11. He was born in Georgia in 1826. He married Margaret McIntosh. His mother's name may possibly be Mary . She apparently left his father. He may have had a sister named Elvira who married a Brantly. If these clues ring any bells-please answer this post. Thankyou.
