He was born about 1834 and died about 1882 in Randolph County, IL. He is first identifiable at age 27 in the 1860 Census where he was listed as a farmer. He was married to Mary Ann Outon. Children were Samuel, William, Ichabod, Sarah, Nancy Jane, Erich Hudson, Andrew, Mary Celeste, and Joseph Brown Adams. Any suggestions on where to look for him prior to 1860 will be appreciated.
