Surnames: Adams Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CI.2ADEB/9331 Message Board Post: I've seen Family Trees on Ancestry. com for William Adams who married Margerat Ewart about 1763, but depending on the tree he has 3 places of birth (Transylvania Co. NC, Tryon Co. NC or Ireland). The only thing I can find on the early life of William Adams is in the obituary of his 2nd. son, James, {"The Rev. James S. Adams, died, at his residence in York District, on the 18th August, in the 71st year of his age and the 48th of his ministry. James Adams, the grandfather of the deceased, came from Scotland to the Province of Pennsylvania about the year 1740, and that his son, William Adams, father of the deceased, was when he landed about 7 years old. The family settled in Cumberland County, where they lived til after the death of the grandfather of the Rev. James S. Adams which occurred in 1752. In 1756, William Adams removed to Carolina, and shortly after married and settled on Crowder's Creek, in York District, South Carolina."} I'm looking for further documentation to verify or refute this information. Thank you, Bill Adams
