Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UFB.2ACI/3718 Message Board Post: I have handwritten poetry by my g-g-grandmother "for the Greylock Sentinel", located in North Adams, dated "South Adams, March 22, 1851". Was there a location known as "South Adams" separate from the present North Adams, MA? Thank You Gene Deal

Charlotte Pease Davis does not include a "South Adams" in her Directory of Massachusetts place names. North Adams was incorporated in 1878, formerly being the north part of Adams. My guess is your g-g-grandmother is refering to the part of town which today remains as Adams Edwin W.
