Ichabod was born 20 Jul 1788 in Massachusetts. Birth dates of William and Samuel are unknown. A William Adams is on the 1790 Federal Census as living in Bethlehem, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. A William Adams is on the 1800 and 1810 censuses in Belchertown, Hampshire County, Massachusetts. A William Adams is on the 1820 census in Enfield, Hampshire County, Massachusetts. A Samuel Adams is also on the 1820 Census in Enfield, Hampshire, Massachusetts. I'm trying to find out if William is the father of Ichabod Adams who was drafted into Captain Gilbert's Company of the Massachusetts Militia in 1814 and who married a Polly Willis in Belchertown, Massachusetts in 1815. Polly Willis Adams died in 1817, probably in or near Belchertown after giving birth to a daughter, Polly. Ichabod emigrated to Thompson and then Madison, Geauga County, Ohio, around 1819-1820 where he married ! Polly Talcott who had been born in Dalton, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Ichabod died in Madison, Lake County, Ohio, in 1853. A William Adams married a Jemima Sole (Soule?) in Belchertown 30 Oct 1801 and a Samuel Adams of Belchertown filed an intention to marry a Emelia Hutchinson (Hutchenson?) of Ware, Massachusetts in 1815. William Adams may have been related to a Nathan Adams of Belchertown. Does anyone have any additional information about these individuals?
