Marjorie, If you could give the census data for Frank and Martha Adams on that 1860 Mississippi census, then we would know everyone's approximate age and it would be much easier to try to run a census search on the subsequent 1870 and 1880 censuses. Also, you said you HAD found great grandad Wm B. Adams on a later census- where and when was that? Two things to keep in mind. It is always possible that Franklin and Martha may have died before the next census, unless you already know otherwise. Also, the various census indices are far from perfect. Sometimes the names were misspelled by the census taker, and sometimes the person who transcribed the census misinterpretted the names. In those cases , just about the only way to try to find someone is to try more than one index, or to narrow down the location and do a page by page search. I'm sure that by now you are aware that the entire US Census of 1880 is availabe for free on line at www.familysearch.org This is a great research tool, is fully indexed and searchable. If you haven't already tried it you should check it out.

I would like to know who Martha ? that married Franklin Adams of Pitt Co NC and them Franklin Adams and Martha migrated to MS with his family. They show up in Neshoba Co MS in the 1860 census. From there I haven't found them other than my greatgrandfather who is a William B.
