Some of John Hobbs Adams family, particularly Spencer Adams [b. 1759 Loudoun Co., VA; d. October 12, 1830 Selma, Dallas Co., Alabama; m. NANCY TOWSIN, b. 1774 Rowan Co., NC ] went to Alabama early in 1800, before 1820, I believe. The name "LARKIN" caught my eye, as my husband has a Larkin ADAMS as a g-g-g-g-grandfather and I have not determined his parents. My husband's ancestor is: LARKIN ADAMS, b. ca 1776 (74 in 1850), in VA; m. CHRISTINA ____, b. ca 1784; in Bath Co, KY in 1850. Who may be the same as, with a second marriage, as there is a persistent story among descendants that the grandmother of Elizabeth Adams (my hub's ancestor) was named CHAMBERS: LARKIN ADAMS (William2, Nathan1), b. probably before 1779, s/o William ADAMS and Fannie MEACHAM; m. 08 March 1797 in Pittsylvania Co., VA to NANCY CHAMBERS Anyway, if your Larkin links to John Hobbs, then possibly my Larkin does also, instead of to the William-Nathan line.

My stone-wall is John Adams, b 1765 in VA. Nothing further known on his siblings or parents. He shows up in Belmont Co., OH around 1798 and his descendant line continues on both sides of the Ohio River in Ohio and West Virginia. Could my John Adams (1765, VA) be related to your Larkin Adams, ca 1776, VA?

Bob, Wish I knew! The Adams family was particularly fond of the name John and William! It really makes tracing the families difficult. Sometimes the more unique names (Larkin, Arthur) make it easier, but it has not proven to be so in my case! I will list him in my "unknown" file. Thanks for asking!

I wrote: " LARKIN ADAMS (William2, Nathan1), b. probably before 1779, s/o William ADAMS and Fannie MEACHAM; m. 08 March 1797 in Pittsylvania Co., VA to NANCY CHAMBERS" Duh! When I look at the dates, I can obviously see that Larkin could NOT be the son of William and Fannie! He is most likely not his brother, either, because he is not listed in Nathan's will. William and Fannie do appear to have had a son named LARKIN, b. 1807 in Russell Co., VA. I apologize if I mislead anyone! Frankie

Frankie, Larkin's father was Wade Hampton Adams (2/12/1821, SC-1/5/1895, Geneva Co., AL) who married Martha A. Simmons (1838-4/8/1864, Pike Co., AL). But, I'm stuck and can't go any further. So, possibly your Larkin is up the line somewhere in this line. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
