Posted on: Yuba County, California Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Yuba?read=337 Surname: Adams, Nelson, Shearer, Hayes ------------------------- Hi, The Yuba Co surname of William Henry Adams strikes a chord in my memory. I have a William Henry Adams b.2 Jun 1862, to William Norton Adams and Mary Chase Vine. Wm (jr) was born in Nevada Co CA. He married Minnie Nelson, then Sadie Shearer, and Elizabeth Hayes, with whom he had four known children: Neva Rose, Rita Fern, Claude Alden, and Melvin Floyd Adams. William is brother to my ancestor, Mary Ann Adams. I don't know if this is of any help to you. Let me know if it sounds promising and I will try to get you additional information. Jean Lee
