I have only been able to trace three brothers (Josiah b 1825, William b 1826, and Jeremiah b 1832, all in Indiana). They appear to have settled in Vigo Co around 1840 and I have some thought that they may be related to the Adams family into which Elder Joseph Wasson married (his first wife was named Jane Adams). By later census, their parents were born in Virginia. By history, I know that a group of early Indiana settlers set out from the so-called eastern strip (OH-KY-IN) border for Vigo Co approximately 1830 and my Adams family may be in that group, but I haven't done the research yet. As to whether they were related to an Adams family if Gibson Co, I wouldn't at all discount the possibility ... it appears that many of the early families settled all over the place ... but I just don't know.
