Next i find joseph in randolph cty census probably of 1860 & single. he married mary elizabeth adams, daugh of Lewis Nashwell Adams & Alice Jane Albritton who's family stayed in Randolph cty, GA while the adams went on the Barbour Cty. I have asked my dad to take the dna test & he said he would, i just have to get it & take it to him. i have been searching for 10years to put all this together & have it right, but i can't find charles. what do i do next? thank you for your advice & sharing of your vast wealth of knowledge. i too am reading the same book you are & am amazed at what the truth really is! nancy williams Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
