I find in the 1880 Wright Co. Missouri Soundex, two Adamson's both named William age 22 and 21. They were enumerated with families as living next to each other, so I tend to believe they could be brothers. In 1900 soundex indication is that one of them is aka as Jas. (perhaps William James). Many of the Adamson's in Southwestern Missouri can be traced to these two. Both are shown as being born in Missouri. Perhaps Wright Co.. If so, they could belong to either Alford or William R. as enumerated in the 1850 census. Does anybody have any of the 1850 extraction's for the Adamson's in Wright Co. Mo for 1850. Would appreciate hearing if you have or have access. Also perhaps the 1860, or 1870 census. Jerry F. Adamson
