Rosetta Adams Female Birth: About 1856 , Crawford, Illinois Christening: Death: After 1880 Burial: 2. Silas E. Adams Male Birth: About 1858 , Crawford, Illinois Christening: Death: After 1870 Burial: ******* There is a Harriet Adams b. ca 1836 in IL married 24 Feb 1864 a Alexander Shoulders .. this in Crawford, IL. I'm wondering if the marriage to Alexander Shoulders was Harriet's SECOND marriage, her first to Silas Adams [according to the LDS, Silas Adams died in 1860]. There is an Alexander Shoulders and Harriett Shoulders mentioned in the will of a Henry HELD in Williams Co., OH ... Aug 1866 [that fits as she would have been married to Alexander two years prior]. I don't think Harriet was a daughter to Henry Held but perhaps a grand-daughter. [?] I am very curious if this Harriet is the one mentioned in the Will and who her parents would have been .. Is this the same Harriet mentioned in the will? Did she first marry Silas Adams and later Alexander Shoulders? I would be grateful for all help. ken
