Great idea on the Roll Call, Jerry. Here's mine. I have reached a brick wall with my MD. and D.C. ADAMSON's. My gggrandfather was 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 Co., MD.). Richard and Mary Ann lived in D.C. and the Georgetown area of D.C. and 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. My lineage (Short Version): ADAMSON, Richard H. (abt 1827-1872) m. Mary Ann CROWN (abt 1825-1883) ADAMSON, Richard Albert (1860-1923) m. Cora May BROWN (1871-1964) ADAMSON, Edward Ernest (1888-1957) m. Wilhelmina L. Kreuter (1888-1968) ADAMSON, Edna Amelia (1909- ) m. Bernard E. Thomas (1902-1961) THOMAS, Carolyn Louise (1949 - ) m. J. S. Travers (1949- ) I would greatly appreciate any information anyone might have on Richard H. ADAMSON. Many thanks for your time. Carolyn Thomas Travers
