Sharon, that would be great! There are several John W. Adams, but if I can find out Henry T. Adams' father, I think I could trace them in NC. I looked at the genweb page and found alot of possibilities. The other name is Pearl Doswell b. abt 1890 in Abbeville, dau. of Isaac Doswell b. Aug of 1847 and Evaline. Isaac was b. in AL, probably Henry Co. The whole family has always seemed to be in the Abbeville area. Isaac Doswell's father was Thomas Doswell b. abt 1800 in VA and his mother Elizabeth in GA abt 1806. John W. Adams and Pearl Doswell are my son's great grandparents. His grandma Myrtle Adams Caddell said her family 'lived in the hills', thats all she would tell me. In the 1900 Abbeville census Henry & Martha's children were: John W. b. Nov 1879 thomas Harris b. 12 Mar 1883 Jess M. b. Dec. 1886 Robert L. b. 11 Dec 1888 Henry E. b. Jul 1891 Thanks a bunch... I live in No. Calif. and sending for all those films gets expensive!!
