OK Alli; Here goes!!!!!! For those of you who have read and re-read this, I apologize, but I am reposting my ADAMS family information in the hopes that a new member might recognize or think they recognize some of the information. In fact, with the ADAMS families as in many other lines, family names tend to be used repeatedly through the generations, so please look for those kind of relationships as you read: I am looking for information on a James Adams who according to census records, was born in Ireland in or near 1782. He is first shown for sure in the 1850 census in Monroe County, Salem Township, Ohio with a wife Sarah, who was born abt 1791 or 1792, also from Ireland. I do not know if the two came here as a married couple, or separately, met and married later. Because I do not know if this James came to US as a young boy, I can't really search prior to 1840 because I don't know his father's name. Now, this James and Sarah had a number of children: Jane Adams (Hill), Letitia, Nancy, and James (Jr?) that I know of. James and Sarah lived in Ohio all their child rearing life, and are both buried at Sykes Ridge, in Monroe County near a place called Round Bottom, very near the Ohio River. I am told that this James worked on the National Road from the areas between Washington, PA and Wheeling, WV. Jane Adams shows up in 1860 with her 3 children, Benjamin F, James A, and Sarah. Letitia married a John Morrow, and Nancy married a John Giffen. James married Hannah Sycks of the above named Sycks Ridge. James and Hannah married and moved to Sedalia, Mo right after the civil war, and by 1880 the whole family was separated. I have more info, but if any of the names or dates ring a bell to anyone, please, please, please, contact me. I was interested in the Strike the Tend info because my brother took a DNA test and matches with some Carolina Adams's which makes me think that when they came here to the US, some may have gone west, and others gone south. I anxiously await any and all responses. Sincerely, Suzanne Adams Diaz
