Surnames: Adams Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CI.2ADEB/9321 Message Board Post: I am researching Adams family from Tyler, Texas. John Holland Adams, my ggfather, born in Rappahanock Co, Va in 1854 or 1856, married Miss Ellas Rudasill also from Rappahnaock Co. VA in 1879 in a town called Pleasant Valley, VA. They arrived in Tyler, Texas around 1883. John Holland Adams' father and mother may have been Josiah Adams and (nee) Ann Holland (from Sperryville, VA). There may have been a brother and/or sister to John but I cannot verify. I am seeking any information on John Holland Adams as I am at a stand still. John and Ella (her father was Phillip Rudasill) had one son, Walter Holland Adams (my gfather). Any information on John Holland Adams or Walter Holland Adams would be very deeply appreciated.
