Hello brand new list :-) My kissing cousins are Willy William Adams & Rosa Catherine Adams from MO. These Adams lived in Buchanan, Andrew and Ray counties. Rosa was born Dec 1876, Platte Township, Andrew County. I don't know about Willy yet, except that he was a first cousin on the Adams side. If I am figuring it out right, he would have to be the son of her fathers brother. Her father was Benjamin Franklin Adams b. 1839, MO. Mother was Lodusky Jane Cummins. They married Sept 5, 1859, Ray County, MO. They has these children: Benjamin Franklin ADAMS 1839 ,,Missouri --SPOUSE-- Lodusky Jane CUMMINS 1844 ,,MO,USA --CHILDREN-- 1-Ulysses H ADAMS 2-Madison J ADAMS 3-Charles G ADAMS 4-Rachel R ADAMS 5*Rosa Catherine ADAMS 6-Silvia R ADAMS 7-Elsa S ADAMS Benjamins parents and siblings were: James ADAMS ,,Tennessee,USA --SPOUSE-- Catherine THOMAS ,,North Carolina,USA --CHILDREN-- 1*Benjamin Franklin ADAMS 2Henry Clay ADAMS 3George Washington ADAMS 4-Samuel Madison ADAMS 5Cleopatra Ann ADAMS 6-Thomas Jefferson ADAMS 7Barsheba ADAMS 8-Mary Jane ADAMS 9John Quincy ADAMS 10-ADAMS So, as I figure it, it had to be the son of one of James' sons. Cousins Rosa & Willy had a son Willis Raymond Adams b. St Joseph, 1896. He told me his fathers name and said his grandfather was Madison or Matt. Any help out there? Rose Adams in CA.
