I am not a new member, but as new people join the listserve, I would like to utilize the opportunity to once again, submit my information in the hopes that someone will be able to identify with and help me piece together information I may be missing. My James ADAMS was born abt 1782 in Ireland. I do not know who his parents were or when he arrived in the United States. I do believe he first appears on the US census in the year 1830 in Wheeling, WV. His wife, Sarah (nee unknown) was also born in Ireland abt 1792. Again, I do not know if they met and married in Ireland and came here as a family, or if they came here as children and met here and married. Their children include Nancy Adams (Married John Giffen), Leticia Adams (Married John Morrow), Jane Adams (Married ___ Hill) and possibly remarried again, and James Adams who married Hannah Sycks. Both James and Sarah Adams are buried on Sycks Ridge, in Ohio. Oral history claims James Adams worked on the National Road from the areas between Washington, PA through Wheeling, WV. He later relocated to Monroe County, Ohio where he completed raising his family and where he later died. His son James, who married Hannah Syckes had the following children: Ruth Adams, (Married Chandler Stephens) Sarah L Adams (Married Samuel Finney McDonald) Oda Jane Adams (Married Edwin Paden Dunn) Marshall V Adams, David N or S Adams, Ellsworth McClellen Adams, and William Adams. I have traced most of these children with the exception of Marshall V, David N. I lose them after the 1880 census where they are last found as loggers in Montana and using their initials MV and EM. David is the only one using his name and they are all listed as brothers. I lose William Adams after the 1870 census of Sedalia, Mo but know for a fact that he was the last sibling left after Ruth Stephens death because he is mentioned in her obit in 1916 and listed as living in California. If anyone has history of the Montana logging camps after 1880s please let me know. I have never been to that part of the country and have no idea how to research something like that. If anyone has information about any of the persons listed, please contact me as I am working hard on this important history of my ADAMS family. Sincerely, Suzanne Adams Diaz
