Surnames: ADAMS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CI.2ADEB/9317 Message Board Post: In the memoirs of FLORA WOODWARD DIAL, she writes about a family of Adams brothers who lived in the vicinity of Castroville. Bill Adams lived "on the Portremco" and kept a stage stand. There were six brothers, John and Dan (who the Indians killed somewhere on the Frio), Jim, Matt and Cud. The latter two settled in California -- Trestin and Orange. ("Trestin" could be actually Tustin as it is near Orange. Both are in Orange Co., CA.) This is all I know of the Adams "boys" but thought it would be of interest to descendants. Regards, Carol Woodward Noble
