With regard to John Adams of Roaring River area of Wilkes Co NC some of whose descendants went to Floyd/Perry/Letcher Co KY, a descendant of Stephen ADAMS (b 1778 NC, son of John ADAMS Jr) has been tested. His DNA, although only a 12-marker sample, matches that of descendants of John ADAMS, carpenter of Northumberland and Stafford Co NC. It does not match the DNA of William Sr and Jesse Adams of Wilkes Co. I feel that -- since there were so many separate ADAMS families in that area of NC during Revolutionary times -- that some of these lines of descent may have gotten intermingled in later research. It would be nice to see if we could untangle some of this.

Despite some earlier confusion, Squire should be descended from Stephen Adams and Elizabeth Whitaker as researchers have thought in the past. The Adams surname project is up to date and the line of William Sr. and the line of Jesse, with Stephen "Rockhouse" Adams are connected. I'm sorry for any confusion I may have given to anyone connected to these lines. We would still like to see someone from John Adams from the Roaring River area of Surry Co., NC to test. Some of his descendants went to Floyd/Perry/Letcher County, KY. And we'd love to have someone from Benjamin Adams of Isle of Wight to test. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jswdna/adamstable.htm<http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jswdna/adamstable.htm> As you can see on the site, there have been quite a few who have tested, and some who are still waiting for a match. And as always, I'd love to hear from anyone related to our line. Neva "Hi List, We're one of the new ones who haven't listed yet. We did DNA testing and now our Esquire/Squire is no longer descended from Stephen Adams and Elizabeth Whitaker as once thought. We are related to Stephen "Rockhouse" Adams of Perry/Letcher Co., KY. I have not figured out which son of his that Squire was born to yet. There are 2 distinct lines of Adams from Floyd/Perry/Letcher County at the moment. I hope more from that area will test. I can prove the following line: Squire Adams, b. July 25, 1830 in Perry County, KY, m. Elizabeth Craft in Letcher County, KY Rueben Rudolph Adams, b. Feb. 6, 1863 in Letcher County, KY, m. Sarah Jane Cornett, b. Mar 3, 1882 Luther Adams, b. Jan. 21, 1900 in Letcher County, KY, m. Oshie V. Hall, b. May 16, 1898 Clinton Adams, b. 1930 in KY" ==== ADAMS Mailing List ==== To UNSUBSCRIBE in MAIL mode use: Adams-l-request@rootsweb.com<mailto:Adams-l-request@rootsweb.com> To UNSUBSCRIBE in DIGEST mode use: Adams-D-request@rootsweb.com<mailto:Adams-D-request@rootsweb.com> List-Manager's Address: Adams-admin@rootsweb.com<mailto:Adams-admin@rootswebcom> Archives: http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/a/d/ADAMS<http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/a/d/ADAMS> For Virus help: http://www.wvi.com/~wb/virushelp.html<http://www.wvi.com/~wb/virushelp.html> ==== ADAMS Mailing List ==== To UNSUBSCRIBE in MAIL mode use: Adams-l-request@rootsweb.com<mailto:Adams-l-request@rootsweb.com> To UNSUBSCRIBE in DIGEST mode use: Adams-D-request@rootsweb.com<mailto:Adams-D-request@rootsweb.com> List-Manager's Address: Adams-admin@rootsweb.com<mailto:Adams-admin@rootsweb.com> Archives: http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/a/d/ADAMS<http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/a/d/ADAMS> For Virus help: http://www.wvi.com/~wb/virushelp.html<http://www.wvi.com/~wb/virushelp.html>
