No I haven't. My John A. Adams d. between 1870/1880 in Texas. I can only "assume" same place his wife did, in Sherman Tx Grayson Co. Actually I could attempt his brother's d/c. I haven't tried that. William J. Adams d. 26 June 1854 in White Co. IL Other brother Archibald d. 1887 in Illinois. He married 5 Nov. 1856 and my info says White Co. IL but no proof to that. The 1850 SC census states he was living with his brother John prior to his marriage so not sure that he actually married in White Co. IL my 2nd great grandmother was born in SC in 1850 and her sister (next in line) was born 1855 in White Co. IL So based on William's death in '54 - the birth of John's daughter in '55 and Archibalds marriage in '56 I would venture a guess they left SC about '51-'53. Only discrepancy is with William. I have him dead 26 June 1854 in White Co. IL but the birth of his last child 10 Oct. 1854 in Chester S.C. Two children prior but no locations for their births nor a location for their marriage in 1847.... His last child d. 2 Dec. 1919 in Arkansas. Someone gave me Bradford Jackson Arkansas. However Bradford is in White Co. AR not Jackson Co. AR. I have not explored Civil War records as of yet so not sure how to go about that or where.
