Surnames: Adams Butler Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3R.2ADE/299.343.332.348.1 Message Board Post: I am trying to connect a Clayton Adams who had a son Benjamin H. C. Adams (I think H. C. might be Henry or Harrison Clayton) and I am hoping another son, Joseph Leven Adams (b.1852). Could my gggrandfather Joe's middle name be named after an uncle? I feel this family is mine because of several coincidenses: My family passed through Webster, GA & McLennan, TX My gggrandfather was born in AL or SC Clayton, Mattie (Martha), Harrison, Emma are names in common with this family I'm looking for a Clayton Adams that had an older brother Leven.
