Posted on: Yuba County, California Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Yuba/443 Surname: Adams Brown Coe ------------------------- As an additional item of interest, my father, Robert Coe has a letter written to his grandmother, Blanche Brown from relatives in New York, aparently in response to her letter seeking information about William Norton Adams. They did not have much information, except to say that there was a family history that at one time his name may have been Lord William Chase. Based on information you have on Mary Vines Adams, perhaps that was either her father, or possibly a first husband instead of an "alias" for William Adams.
