Talk about throwing buckshot into the fire ! My curiousity just went up about 100 degrees ! My great grandmother, who was an Adams, was also said to have been born in Heard County long about this time, too. Now, how is it possible that both she and he were born in Heard County, GA when that county was not formed until 1830 ? Is there any possibility that the men might have been soldiers sent to the frontier because of the Indians, or could they have been connected to a trading post located in that area ? And, I'm very curious as to why Sarah died in Elbert County but buried in Heard ?? I've been told that Sarah had some Indian blood in her lineage. Is this correct ? Gosh, I could ask a million questions ! Perhaps if you shared more on Sarah, some of the puzzle pieces might be answered, or someone might be able to add a tidbit here and there to make a more complete picture.
