Hi, I am trying to determine who the ancestors were of my gggrandfather, Richard H. ADAMSON. He was born ca. 1827 in MD. (Montgomery Co., I believe). He married Mary Ann CROWN on 24 DEC 1848, in D.C. (she was born in D.C. but her ancestors originated in Charles Co., then Montgomery County, MD.). Richard and Mary Ann lived in Georgetown for a while where he had a business. He died in D.C. in 1872. Richard and Mary Ann ADAMSON had five children that I know of, all born in Washington, D.C.: 1. Irving, b. 1848 2. William Winford, b. 1850 3. Mary Emma, b. 1853, d. 1933 (married name, Sebastian) 4. Edward F., b. 1854,5 5. Richard Albert, b. 1860, d. 07 SEP 1923, D.C., my ggrandfather I believe Richard H. ADAMSON is a descendant of John Baldwin ADAMSON and/or Basil ADAMSON who settled in Frederick Co., (later became Montgomery Co., MD.) in 1720's and purchased land to be called "Adamson's Choice", but so far have been unable to prove it. I would greatly appreciate any information anyone might have on the above line. Thank you. Carolyn Thomas Travers jstravers@aol.com
