I've corresponded with someone who is descended from Salathiel Adams. I'll have to dig through my notes to see if I can find out who it was (hope it wasn't you -- I'm known to be that absent-minded sometimes!). Can't forget a name like that, though. We thought there might be a connection with my first known Adams ancestor, James Adams (Caswell County, North Carolina > Old Pendleton District, South Carolina > White County, Georgia > Sweet Apple, Cherokee/Milton County) but we weren't able to find one. -------------- Original message -------------- > Yes, I do.

Milly's unknown Adams husband is supposed to be from NC. Sons John & Salathiel both give their birth state as NC on the 1850 DeKalb Co., GA census & Salathiel on 1860 too.
