I believe that the daughter Mary is Adolphia Adams, wife of Gist Wright living in Union County SC in 1880 census, [They live in Spartanburg Co next to Bettie in 1900-1910] and that her sister Florence Adams was b. in MS about 1850 [she probably was dead before 1900] but after that the family must have gone back to SC, as all the other children [Bettie, 1853,Glenn 1856, Antonia 1858, Emma 1860, John Q.[my grandpa] 1862, and Henrietta 1864] were said b. SC. in the 1870 census. I realize that this is POSSIBLY NOT the same family but I do believe it is, because of the note that Florence in 1880 is said "b.Miss". Also, in the Landrum Cemetery in Spartanburg Co SC is buried "Milly Ann Adams, w/o Q. B. b. 1826 d. 1897" Below are the census listings I believe pertain to this family. I also realize that you may not have much [or anything] on them as it appears they were not in Winston County after 1852 or so and I have no idea when they arrived there. Thanks anyway for any help.....and, Barbara have a good Adams reunion. I look forward to the day when I can connect to my Grandfather's Adams family and his mother's [ Milly Ann's] family as well. regards.

Hello, Stephanie, Please allow me to join this discussion about your Adams family. I am wondering if there is any connection between your Adams family and the Butler or Crawford families. Just two houses away in household 241, is my great great grandfather James M. Butler and his family. Please note that some indexes and the Kathryn Hathcock transcription report this as the "Button" family but the original census images clearly show "Butler". James M. Butler's wife was Sarah Crawford and she was born in SC. In the next house (240) is the family of John Brice Crawford, also born in SC. These two families moved to Winston Co. between 1841 and 1846 according to the birthplaces of their children. The Butler family left between 1852 and 1854 following Sarah's death. I don't know how John Brice Crawford and Sarah Crawford are related. Peter Crawford is another Crawford family that was living in Winston Co. at this time. His wife Elizabeth Loveless was born in Newberry Co. SC in 1794. This is getting close to Union Co. SC. What do you think of a possible connection here? Jerry Jerry L. Butler Winston Co.

Jerry, Hello., and Welcome. That is exciting news about the Crawford/Butler families being near the Adams in 1850 and having a very similar "moving" pattern. In those days moving state to state was some big deal- one can only imagine, -and going with a group of friends or family was surely preferrable. I do not know my Milly Ann Adams' maiden name. She could easily have been a Crawford OR even a Butler. Have you searched the Crawford rootsweb list and the Genforum for Sarah and John Brice Crawford? Can you send me the Census listings to which you referred? Thanks, Sure hope we are on to something. regards Steph [email protected]
