This site also has wills, I think they are the wills that were attached to the documentation, probably showing that the person the land's name was in was dead, etc. I didn't see ADAMS in there. I looked at the Bureau of Land Management Bureau site http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/PatentSearch/Default.asp?Tab1=2&f1=IL&f2=&f3= and they didn't have Kentucky at all. I know they aren't going to put the 13 colonies on there and since Kentucky came from there??? West Virginia isn't on there either.
