This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: ADAMS, Cornelison Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CI.2ADEB/7525.1.2 Message Board Post: I am looking for a John Adams, born 1774 in VA. He married a woman from So. Carolina, traveled into Tennessee, where at least two sons are born- Henry and John, Jr. (in the 1820's). Next John and his two sons travel to Oregon and claim land in Southern Oregon - 1851. They were some of the first land claimants in the area of Myrtle Creek. Not sure if they are related to my great-great grandmother who settled in the same town and was an Adams, born in Tennessee.
