    3. First a big THANK YOU to Ann and Mysty. Ann, clearly the researcher who had Elvira Jane as Bonhannon just had enough info to know the lines were connected but not just how. It all makes sense now. Since we are on the Adams family I will post some info I recently received on Stacy Adams who married Eli Sooter. I am posting with permission from Karen. She is not related but is working on this line as a gift for a friend. She is working from a family history written in the 1950's by the friends great uncle. Thought it might be of interest. I have not verified it. But I find no glaring errors based on what I know. Eli B Sooter b. Barry Co. Mo 1814 to Searcy County, AR 1830 m. Stacy Adams Searcy County, Richalnd near Buffalo River, AR 1834. Returned to Barry County 1845 where he died and was buried in 1849. Stacy returned Searcy County after her husbands death about 1850 where she married a second time. Stacy died Wiley's Cove 1884. *************** (added by Judy)** Stacy appears in the 1850 Searcy County Census as Stacy Suter with seven children. Based on the Goodspeed article on her son Matthew, Stacy married James Waterson and had four more children, two of whom were deceased by 1884 when the article was published. They were Sarah (deceased), James (deceased), Benjamin Franklin, and Arrella. ************** Greenberry "Berry" Sooter b. Searcy County 1835. He married a ??
