Hello fellow researchers. Hallelujah! I finally have a maiden name for my Grandfather John Quincy Adams' mother MILLY ANN SANDERS/SAUNDERS -b. somewhere in SC 1826 ---d. Spartanburg SC 1897. Anyone with a daughter with this name or with MARY or ANN M. Sanders [as she appears on some of the censuses] -- b. about this time and this place please respond. AND a possible first name for his Father. On his probate file union County 1864 says "Q. D. Adams" on her grave stone 1867 says "w/o Q. B." and now on the death certificate of their daughter, Henrietta Adams Finch in 1960 --AT AGE 100-- it says parents- MILLIE ANN SAUNDERS AND BENJAMIN Q. ADAMS. I said a POSSIBLE first name because in 1960 Henrietta was 100 years old and "Q B" -her father- had been dead for 96 years so her daughter who provided info may NOT have been sure of his first name either. I would of course LIKE it to be Benjamin, especially as I named my eldest son that never thinking it to be a family name, so Looking now for Any Adams family with a BENJAMIN Q OR QUINCY OR QUENTIN B. son b. probably in SC and probably between 1815 and 1830 . Please check your ADAMS families for such a child Thanks . for all your help everyone. Steph P. Cecil stephaxi@mindspring.com
