NORTHERN NECK ADAMS FAMILIES We would like to urge any Adams-surname male who believes he is descended from the so-called Northern Neck Adams families to consider joining the Adams surname DNA project. Five matching participants have thus far been found. Additional participants can help us all figure out which of the sons of John Adams, carpenter and wife Katherine is your ancestor. We are particularly interested in anyone who can trace his descent to the following men: John Adams with wife Eleanor of Halifax Co, Absolam Adams b ca 1731 of Fairfax Co and Culpeper Co VA, Nipper Adams of Halifax Co, John "Hobbs" Adams of Fairfax Co; brothers Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Daniel of Goose Creek, later of Rowan Co, later of Kentucky; Matthew Adams of Virginia and later of Rowan Co NC. We are also interested in any Adams who traces his ancestry to Wilcox Co, AL, Oauchita and/or Union Co Arkansas.
