Surnames: Adams Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Di.2ADE/1350.2 Message Board Post: Hi! I'm descended from James Adams. I, too, am searching for his ancestors. Just recently I believe I found a brother of James named Richard. I found him living 5 families from James in the 1840 Harrison County census. He was born in 1799-1800 and lived at least through 1880. I'm hoping I can find his death date in order to get a death certificate. As far as James is concerned, he was alive in 1880, but the trouble is he moved with a couple of his sons to Meade County, KY. That makes getting a death certificate next to impossible. I have found his sons in Meade County in 1900, but apparently James had died between 1880 and 1900.
