Surnames: Adams, Sheenan, Shannon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CI.2ADEB/9129.1.1 Message Board Post: David, I do not know where in Ireland this John ADAMS is from. His son William Robert ADAMS ended up in Cambridge, MA (same town as my ADAMS from Ireland). I am tying to figure out if this is just coincidence or are they connected. My ADAMS line came from Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ireland. I have a James ADAMS b. c1835 m. 1854 Enniskillen, County Fermanagh - Alice Shannon "Sheenan". They had two sons: William (imigrated to USA), and James that stayed in Ireland. All those I have identified to date are Catholic. Joyce
