    1. Finishing my Adams.....

    3. Sorry I was interrupted. Adolphia Adams [age 59] and husband Gist Wright were still next door to my Aunt Bettie Adams in 1910, but in 1920 he was there with a different wife and some stepchildren. Suspect Adolphia died in that decade. NO other info on her. John Q Adams, my grandfather, was born Dec, 1861 or 1862 and came to central Fla in about 1882. He married there [in Lakeland, Polk County] and had a successful Livery Stable and a good bit of Property at least until 1910. Had one son and 5 daughters [ incl. my mother b. 1902] I think he fell into the bottle or something in about 1912 or so. He died in May 1919 and his widow and children rarely talked about him except to hint at drinking problems. I was b. 1936 and knew his widow [NANA] until her death in 1960. NO idea what became of the Grandpa's brother Glenn Adams, nor of sisters Antonia and Henrietta. I am not sure the 1860 census is really his family , but AM sure of the 1870 and 1880 ones. As you can see there are few clues as to his father's name [Q B ??? or R N???] and NO maiden name yet for his mother MIllie Ann Adams. Thus I am looking for mostly FISHERS AND WRIGHTS. Appreciate any LIKELY info. Thanks. Steph Powell Cecil stephaxi@mindspring.com
