Surnames: Adams Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CI.2ADEB/9010.2 Message Board Post: Dear Mike, I am trying to make sense of the Adams families of Bedford County, PA, for I am a descendant. According to a researcher by the name of Diane Ryder, Elijah married to Eva/Eve Griffith was the son of Robert (abt 1753-1810) and Keziah (Blair) Adams who removed to Westmoreland County, PA. This Robert is thought to be the son of Elijah Adams of St. Clair Twp, Bedford County, PA who died 1798/1799 and was a Quaker. I have not been in touch with Diane Ryder, so I do not know what kind of proof she has. Now the Elijah Adams who married sisters Susannah and Elizabeth Leeper was the son of Robert and Keziah's brother and sister Elijah and Hannah (Blair) Adams. This information is supplied by researcher Paul Gifford, and I understand he has proof. Would you be willing to share some info on the descendants of Elijah and Eve? Also, do you know her parent's names? I am a descendant of a Griffith family of Bedford County, Pa, but I have yet to learn her parents' names. If you don't know, I'll have to ask Mary M. Wilson of Bedford County, Pa. She is an avid Griffith researcher. Sincerely, Craig B. Adams cbaxmas@yahoo.com
