Where was your William Norton Adams born? I have a William Adams born abt. 1832 in Maine to Abraham and Mary Standish Adams. Siblings Angeline Adams Smith, Bennie Adams, Mary Bradford Wyman and Nancy Adams Barnes Pike. The girls all came west in the 1850s, Angeline appears in the 1870 census in Strawberry Valley, but I don't know where the boys ended up.
