NOTE: As you know, Ive been posting from the Pike County, Missouri history book. Many Kentucky citizens moved to this county in the early years from Bourbon County KY. I am going to take about a week and clear out some of the Bourbon County biographies. NOTE: I have no connection, no further information and am not seeking additional information. 11388 BOURBON CO MORDECAI ADAMS Adams, Mulherren, McCue 11388 Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883, p. 604. Mordecai Adams (deceased) was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, October 15, 1797, where he was reared and educated. In 1817 he came to Pike county, Missouri, where he settled on a farm in Calumet township and continued to reside until his death. He was married in Bourbon county to Miss Sarah Mulherren of that county; by this union were eight children, of whom five still survive: Thomas, Elizabeth, Benjamin F., Mordecai M., and Sarah A. Mr. Amos was a self-made man and by close attention to his farming pursuits he accumulated a large property, sufficient to leave his children all a good home. He and his wife were formerly members of the M. E. Church, but in 1848 he withdrew and united with the Christian Church, with which he was identified until his death, which occurred August 25, 1879. His first wife died May 14, 1849; he was again married in 1858 to Miss Tempie McCue, who died August 20, 1864.
