    3. ******Posted for Bonnie Hunter <pandie@earthlink.net>****** My grandfathers name was Leo Adamson and his twin brothers name is Claud.They were born in Wayne County, Ky in the year 1873. This year is according to my grandparents marriage certificate. On my mothers birth certificate the age was different and his age according to this would make the year 1878. He, Leo Adamson married my grandmother Mary Elizabeth Burton on July 4,1898 in Jamestown, Ky. They settled in Russell County, Ky on a farm. I received a copy of the deed .He was a farmer and a carpenter.He and his twin brother traveled around to surrounding counties and tapped danced according to what I have heard. Leo Adamson died in Russell County in the year 1923 to the best of my knowledge. His twin brother did not live to long after that. On the marriage certificate it said his father, no name, was born in Indiana. I have not been able to make out the county. It looks like Hamon County, I can not find this name in Indiana.I looked on your census list for Indiana and could find nothing that looked like the writing on the certificate. His mother was from Wayne County, Ky no name given for her either. I have sent for birth and death certificates and have not heard anything as of yet. I was told the chances are slim for those years. Leo my grand father and his brother Claud are buried in Russell County and I have a 1961 picture of the cemetery , tombstones, and the church beside of it.The church was called Bethlehem Separate Baptist. I can not get any information, telephone numbers or anything else in order to obtain information.. I know my mothers cousin or second cousin who lived and died in Dayton Wyoming is also in our line , I am just not sure where he comes in at. He was from Columbia, Ky and went to Wyoming during the depression and settled there. He has no children. His wife is Ethel. I hope someone somewhere can connect with my Kentucky Adamsons. I will appreciate any help and information I can get. Thank You for your wonderful site for Adamsons! Bonnie Hunter<pandie@earthlink.net>
