Mary C. Eaton was b 1847, probably in Polk Co., MO, and married Ed Adamson 26 Mar 1888. In 1884, when Ray Weymouth was born, she was probably still in Polk Co. and was not yet an Adamson. I heard a lot of stories about her from my grandparents, my father, and his siblings--almost none of them favorable, and--by absence of any comment to the contrary--I assume that (a) she was not previously married, and (b) she had no children by Ed or anyone else up to 1901. I also assume that she went back to Polk Co. in 1901 after he died. Sorry, but I think she's a pretty unlikely candidate for your Mary. Steve Adamson
I absolutely agree that Mollie Eaton Adamson is not in the running. I did send you another email about information that my Adamson family may have been in Benton Co AR in 1900. The data sent to me from the Soundex CD is fairly conclusive in itself, based on names, ages, places of birth, but I want to see the Census for the "rest of the story". It appears there is a relationship to your Ed Adamson - of a cousinly sort - so we may have a common ancestor a couple of generations further back. Once I've viewed that Census and exchanged with Jerry Adamson about the exact connection, I'll let you know.
