I'm just getting started on my ADAMSON lines (thanks to Rick and Jerry!!!). Here's where I stand thus far. Lainie Hendrix ADAMSON: 1. John ADAMSON and Ann SKEW (Skuce). 2. Thomas ADAMSON, Sr. and Mary BURSON [apparently, Mary's mother ties into my POTTS?] 3. Thomas ADAMSON, Jr. and Sarah EAGON. 4. Barnet ADAMSON and Isabella JOHNSTON. 5. John J. ADAMSON and Nancy SMITH. 6. Matilda ADAMSON and "Unknown" MILLER This relationship produced one son, William Thomas, who was raised by Matilda's *3rd* relationship partner, "Unknown" PRITCHARD, from whom William Thomas took his own surname. I have not yet found any marriage records for Matilda and any of the 3 (possibly 4?) men with whom she had children. 7. William Thomas (Miller) PRITCHARD and Sarah Elizabeth HANLON (O'Hanlon). 8. Laura Odessa PRITCHARD and Robert "Earl" POTTS. 9. George Lewis POTTS (living) and Celia "Faith" ATKINSON (deceased) 10. Alice Elaine POTTS (myself) and Leland John HENDRIX (living) I'd love to hear from anyone who might be able to assist me in clearing up the mystery surrounding my Matilda ADAMSON's spouses/relationships. Her first son, William Thomas (Miller) PRITCHARD, was born 04 July 1871 in OH; Matilda had a son by "Unknown" NOLAND, Ogle NOLAND (b. ca. 1873 in OH). Then, it appears she married "Unknown" PRITCHARD in OH, and then had Genittie PRITCHARD ca. 1877, and Wesley PRITCHARD, ca. 1878. It is very possible that Matilda ADAMSON married a fourth man (this could have been her very first marriage): Martin STRAHL --- married 02 Feb 1862 in Washington Co., OH. I have not yet found anything firm on this marriage. If this is the case, Matilda ADAMSON would have been about 15 1/2 years of age at the time of the marriage. Many thanks! Lainie Hendrix
