I have traced back to Thomas Jefferson Adams b. 1812 in TN (county unknown). At some point, he and/or family moved to Eutaw, AL (Greene Co). There he married Elizabeth Ann Oldham in 1845. They had 6 children before migrating to Montalba, TX (Anderson, Co). - William L b. 9/1845, AL d. 6/20/1881, TX - Julia Ann b. 1846, AL d. 1/18/1934, TX - John Quincy b. 11/30/1848, AL d. 7/16/1940, TX - Peter G. b. 1852, AL d. 1935, TX - Sarah E. b. 3/29/1856, AL d. 1879, TX - Thomas R b. 1859, AL d. 1867, TX I believe they arrived in Anderson County 1859-1860. Records show Thomas R was born in AL, but census shows this family in Anderson Co. in 1860. I am a direct decendent of Peter G. Adams who married Minnie in 1892 and had 4 children, all born and died in Anderson Co, TX. Any information that anyone could provide on any of these people mentioned would be most helpful. But I am mostly trying to break the wall I have hit for anyone prior to Thomas Jefferson Adams (mentioned above). You can email me at stilcowgirl@yahoo.com
