I was sent this today-information is from Lawrence County IL: "The sketch in the 1996 history says that Mabel Claire Adamson Piper said she was born 24 April 1884 near Princeton, Gibson County, IN, a daughter of John Adamson and Margaret (Hodge) Adamson. It also says that if that's the case, she was born 3 years before their recorded marriage date in Knox County, IN (article doesn't state the date). It is speculated that Margaret Hodge Adamson was probably her stepmother, but the only mother she ever knew. Margaret died when Mabel was 8, her father John when she was 12. After her mother's death, she went to live with Mrs. Cindy Pinkstaff, and though she says her father died when she was 12, records searches show him remarrying in 1893 and again in 1900 for a 4th time. In the 1900 census Mabel was listed as a "servant" in an Applegate family household. Mabel md. James Cyrus Piper on 10 Aug 1910 and had six sons and one daughter (one son died in infancy). Was a member of Union Chapel Church and died 13 Apr 1956 in Olney Hospital, aged 71 years, 11 months, and 20 days." Can anyone enlighten me on what Adamson family this is? Sue
