I am trying to locate Adams ancestors from Pennsylvania. My earliest known person is Hugh Adams, born PA, 1832-4, who married Lucinda Cooper, daughter of Jonah Cooper, and Matilda Williams, 4/17/1857 in Belmont County, Ohio. They moved briefly to Tyler County, WV, just before the Civil War, (on 1860 census) probably left there between 1862 and 1866 (based on birthplace of children) but definitely were in Hamilton County, Indiana by 1870, with a family. Children at 1870 were David F., b 1858 Ohio, John W., b 1862 VA (before it became WV), Jonah E., b. 1866 Ind (actual date is Feb. 1864). By the 1880 census they had additional child, Charles B., born Ind. 1874. There were also children who died: Arrissa J., b. Ohio 1855, d. 1863; Mary E., b. 1864, d. 1865; Lenora, b & d. 1872; Cora Bell, b. 1871, d. 1873; gravestones for all of those are in Carey Cemetery, White River Twp., Hamilton Co. Ind. Hugh and Lucinda went to Norton County, Kansas, with one son, Jonah E. Adams, and his wife, Louvina Adeline Scott Adams, b. Ind. 12/10/1865, about 1886 based on grandchildren's births (were on 1900 census) but were both returned for burial in Hamilton County, Indiana, in 1907 and 1909, respectively (Carey Cemetery). I cannot find any parents or siblings for Hugh Adams, and don't know where in PA he came from. There are several Hugh Adams during that period in PA, but cannot determine which is correct. I think the Adamses came from PA with the Cooper family into which Hugh married, since the Coopers are listed in census records as born in PA (John Cooper, Lucinda's grandfather, b. PA 1785, married Nancy Mercer b. NC, both listed on 1870 census living separately with family members.) The Coopers were in Belmont Co. Ohio by at least 1834, and there is a rumor they were from Washington Co., Pa. One possibility is Ephram Adams, b. Pa 1812 and Elizabeth, b. Pa. 1823, on Belmont Co. Ohio 1850 census, although Elizabeth could not be Hugh's mother. No children are shown with them. Hugh's son Jonah was named Jonah Ephraim. There is also a Jonah Adams on the 1830 census for Allegheny Co. Pa. Do any of these names ring any bells? Thanks, Marilyn
Marilyn, You are trying to locate HUGH ADAMS, b. 1832 from PA. I don't if we connect or not, but I am looking for any HUGH ADAMS (born abt 1775) most likely in VA. I am looking for the parents and siblings of JOHN ADAMS born 1802 VA (that part of VA that became WVA between 1860 and 1870. I believe his father to be HUGH ADAMS b 1775 and ELEANOR ELLETTwho had a son JOHN ADAMS born 1802. We have all the same names, migration etc. HUGH and ELEANOR were in KY in the 1820 Pulaski Co. census living two or three doors from the BELLS. My JOHN ADAMS b 1802 married NANCY BELL (b 1802 in KY) in Monroe Co. IN in 1826. JOHN & NANCY'S children were: JAMES H. ADAMS b abt 1828 HUGH CALVIN ADAMS babt 1829 d. April 27, 1865, Dalton GA in the Civil War. WILLIAM RILEY ADAMS b 1831, Bean Blossom Twp.Monroe Co. IN d. January 08, 1898 JOHN M./QUENCY ADAMS b April 03, 1835, d May 22, 1893 FRANCIS MARION ADAMS b 1837 married MELVINA SIMS, 1854 ANCIL MONROE ADAMS b June 07, 1838, d. February 10, 1900 SARAH JANE ADAMS (ANCIL'S twin sister) HUGH ADAMS b abt 1775 (VA?)and ELEANOR ELLETT'S children: ANCEL ADAMS JAMES ADAMS, married MELINDA JENKINS REBECCA ADAMS b Oct. 10, 1800 JOHN ADAMS b February 24, 1802 There was a John Adams, right age in Pulaski Co. IN that married a JANE HORTON/HOOTEN in 1843. I believe this wife was attached to JOHN in error. MARIAH ADAMS b May 3, 1809 WILLIAM ADAMS b February 21, 1811, m CATHERINE SPENCER. RACHEL ADAMS b in KY Nov. 29, 1812 d, Oct, 28 1885, m WILLIAM SALES HUGH ADAMS b February 27, 1815 I have quite a bit of info on these familes and on down from their birth dates. I just haven't been to prove that HUGH'S son JOHN b 1802 is my JOHN. I do have contacts with several of HUGH'S descendants with extensive family histories. I also have photos of my JOHN'S ( b 1802) son ANCIL and HUGH'S (b 1775) grandson ANCEL and they look like twins. I don't know if any of this might help you or not, but if you see any connection, let me know.

To Judy - Thanks for your information. I haven't ruled out that my Hugh Adams' father might also be named Hugh, and I have also searched for David because Hugh's first son was named David. Tobias runs in the family, but it may come from the Cooper side. Several censuses show Hugh born in PA so I think that must be right. The years when he might have been with parents are those before every name was listed and without knowing how many siblings I can't even guess at this point. He is a complete dead end unless I can find a definite match with somebody that has more information than I do. John Adams born 1802, married 1826 could be of the right age, but would they have gone to PA thereafter? I have my Hugh's descendants - not all of their spouses or children though. Hugh and Lucinda were in Indiana by 1870 and Kansas by about 1886. Does this match anybody?
