Thanks Jerry. It obviously did not belong here. Evelyn

Are you interested in the origin of your family name? If so, please look at http://members.xoom.com/NameShop/

I go back to Basil Adamson. Greenberry was one of his sons. I am a descendant of Frederick Adamson and Martha Palmer. Frederick was Basil youngest son.

I am a neighbor living in Long County, and I am an Adamson Descendent. My Adamson Connection goes back to Greenberry Adamson, who came to Georgia in the late 1700's and served in the War of 1812. He was originally from Maryland. Are you per chance related to the late Dewey Adamson of Tatnall? The last 4 generations of my family were from Henry, Clayton, and Fulton County GA.

I have a manuscript of the descendant of John Baldwin and part of his family went to Ga, I will see if your ancesters are in it. Barb

Where are your Adamson's from?

My name is Jerry Adamson Jr. Descendent of Sally and Jerry Adamson. My dad, Jerry Adamson is the descendent of Junior & Rose Adamson. My grandpa Junior Adamson is the Descendent of Ira Adamson & Lettie M. Cutbirth, who is the descendent of Eugen J. Adamson. My grandma Rose is the descendent of Myrtle Stark who is the descendent of Katie May Martin and Larkin Stark. I think Katies folks where Fredrick Martin and Mary Roak, who might be from around Neosho. Please, if you fit my roots, please contact me at adamson@janics.com. Thank You. Thank You.

Hello Adamson's, I will call my second cousin who lives in Dayton WY, today. Their ranch is just outside of Cheyenne. She is ninety years old and may know something about this Alexander, or know someone who does. Her mind is still as sharp as a tack. Her husband, Walden Adamson, hitched hiked to WY during the depression. There were other family members living there when he went. He learned to be a rancher and had the largest ranch, at one time, that was near Cheyenne. When he died, Ethel sold some of it to reduce the work. I just recently found pictures with names of some of the Adamson's that were living there. I just don't know how they fit in the family yet, maybe Ethel can help me with this too. If I get any info, I will post it to the list. After finding new cousins from my last posting, I am hoping Karen, Deloris, and I can find even more. We just met for the first time the other day. Turns out, we all live in Louisville, Ky. How's that for fate????????? Jerry, Thanks for the Adamson list! You run a tight and efficient ship. There is no doubt, that you are very on purpose and dedicated, to linking all of our Adamson's together.

Hello: What does anyone know about an Alexander D. Adamson, listed and pictured as one of the invading forces in the Johnson County War in Wyoming in April 1892? Adamson is purportedly the ranch manager for the Ferguson Land and Cattle Company, a Scottish owned operation whose range was just south of the Swan Land and Cattle Co. holdings around Chugwater, Wyo (between Chugwater and Cheyenne). Adamson may have had some equity in the operation or later ranched himself just north of Cheyenne. He was said to be a Scot. Numerous books treat the Johnson County War, some in great detail, but Adamson usually gets scant treatment, being listed and pictured in the lineup when the invader forces were held at Fort D.A. Russell at Cheyenne, charged with the murder of Nate Champion and Nick Rae (Ray), a couple of blacklisted cowboys who were thought to be rustlers by the invader forces. Some books which picture and list the invaders: H.H. Smith, "The War on Powder River" M. Frink, "Cow Country Cavalcade" R.B. David, "Malcolm Campbell, Sheriff" A.S. Mercer, "The Banditti of the Plains", and many others. A book which has a different picture is a book by D.F. Baber, Bill Walker's account of the war entitled "The Longest Rope". Of the books above, the one which references Adamson the most is "Malcolm Campbell, Sheriff". A book by John Clay, another Scot, "My Life on the Range", has brief but interesting comment in three places about Adamson. Clay was very influential in the investing of foreign money in the Western range cattle business, and later founded the Clay, Robinson Livestock Commission Co., eventually having offices at all the major stockyards. He was President of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association, thought to be the unofficial sponsor of the invading forces in the Johnson County War, Clay being overseas when the war took place. I have some livestock commission paper indicating that A.D. Adamson shipped cattle to the South Omaha stockyards in Oct 1892, probably to raise money for his legal defense. He was presumably imprisoned at the time at Fort D.A. Russell but since half the invader forces were prominent ranchers, it was charged that they got country club treatment at the fort. The paper I have was for one critter that didn't pass brand inspection, and was sold to Cudahy for $14.02 (total, not per cwt). After shipping charges from Cheyenne, yardage, feed and commission, the net proceeds were $10.67, money typically escrowed until the owner could be located. Adamson probably shipped several carloads of cattle, but this was the typical method for handling any cattle whose brand was unknown or questioned. In the lineup pictures taken in 1892, Adamson appears to be a healthy vigorous looking fellow, maybe in mid-forties in age. Anyone have any info on his lineage, or on what eventually happened to him (the murder charges were dismissed in Jan 1893)? Thanks, Bill Adamson

Dear Listers, a follow-on to my previous posting: Apparently there was an Alexander ADAMSON b. 30-11-1845 in Aberdeenshire, who went out to Argentina. But I haven't been able to find his birth details in FamilySearch. He may have been related to the Adamson family in Whitehills, Boyndie, Banffshire. There is a hint of illegitimacy somewhere, so Adamson may not have been his surname at birth. A long shot, but does anyone know of any candidates? Howard.

Hullo Listers. I'm searching for information regarding members of the ADAMSON family who went to Argentina and possibly Paraguay. Christian ADAMSON was born 11-Aug-1810 Boyndie, Banffshire to James ADAMSON and Elizabeth ADDISON. He or she (?) seems to have gone out to South America in the 1830s and eventually owned / ran a ranch somewhere, maybe Paraguay - and must have done very well too. Christian is usually a female name and the IGI has that person as female. But I haven't been able to find a record of her marriage (unless, dear listers, someone can find it for me), so I can only speculate on the circumstances of her emigration. The rest of her family certainly didn't emigrate. It appears she stayed out there for the rest of her life - a measure of her success is in another note "Money sent home from Argentine to educate JA" [John Adamson, possibly her solicitor brother, possibly a nephew.] Brother Alexander ADAMSON b.2-Jan-1825 Boyndie seems to have gone out to South America, possibly Buenos Aires, in the summer of 1841 (he was in the home 7-Jun-1841 census). He certainly died 28-Aug-1841 age 16 - I assume in Buenos Aires (if true, presumably that means he died en route or immediately upon arrival, surely). Finally, there is a note which seems to say "Cadma offered to run ranch, b. Paraguay". Make of that what you will. Can anyone help me progess? The said solicitor's great-grand-daughter wouldn't mind finding out about this ranch and all the wealth that went with it!!! There's a bigger story in there somewhere, and it would be fantastic to know more. Thanks for reading all this. Howard.

I am a descendant of Henry W. Adamson. He was a Dr. who practiced in Tatnall County in Georgia in the 1800's. For a time, his daughters were listed in the Chatham County census. This was because, for a while, he had to place them in the orphanage in Savannah, GA. I have a copy of the page where they are listed as being in the orphanage. I am trying to find out where he received his medical degree. I have written to almost every medical school in the southeast that was in operation at the time, but no luck. We think we have found a ship's log that lists when he came over, but are not sure. If it is correct, it appears he came from England or Scotland. Anyone who might have interest or info on this line is welcome to email me. If indeed he came from England or Scotland, my search will have to stop there without help as I have no way to research parish records in England without assistance from someone living over there. omeone living over there.

Do you have a birthday for Henry or his wife's name. What are his Children's name? The more info the better. There are several Henry's in Ga. in my manuscript.

I don't know where you research, but quite a lot of Genealogy Librarys have English Parish Records. So do some of the larger Family History Center ran by the Mormon Church. They are open to the public. I am a descendant of John Baldwin Adamson and some of his descendants moved to Ga. I do have a manuscript here I will see if I can find a Dr. Henry, and will get back to you. Barb barbhull@aol.com

Bonnie, I've been going through my files, and sending some to you, Deloris and my sister, (another one of your cousins), Pam. I accidentally sent your email to the Adamson list back to you. SORRY!!! I ment to send it to Pam. She also has some info on Adams's. Please forgive my hitting the wrong address in my address book. I hope some of the things I've sent are at least interesting to you, and hopefully something can help with your research. Talk to you later, Karen ^ ^ " `------'

Hi, I just wrote to you on the Adamson cemeteries in Lawrence Co., IN. I told you that my last Adamson descendant was Abigail Adamson who married James R. Bridges. They moved to MO (Worth Co.) in 1879, and then Abigail moved to Garfield Co., Nebraska with her son Tom after the death of James. I did not understand why they moved to Mo, but were there alot of Adamson family out there at that time? Thank you and have a wonderfull trip. My number in Indiana is (765) 349-1635....

hello, are you going to Lawrence Co., IN soon?? I live in Morgan Co., (2 hrs North) and have descendants from the Adamson Line. My line runs from John Adamson and Anne Skuse, Simon P. Adamson Sr., and unknown wife, Thomas (or Byrd) Adamson and Rachel Williams, John Wesley Adamson Sr., and Fannie Kern, Abigail Adamson and James R. Bridges. I have pictures of the Old Union Christian Church and cemetary. You should try to go in the Church if you can. The alter and communion table are made by the old time Adamsons, carried down all these years. I have a couple of pictures of Adamsons passed on from my Grandma.I am afraid that most of the information I have has been gleaned from others. Very little was passed down in my family.
