Hi gang! I've spent the afternoon poking around all over the internet.....looking for anything about those early settlers coming down the Ohio on their fragile flatboats....and pulling off along the way.....liking what they saw and deciding to settle there! I didn't find much. Guess I'm looking in the wrong places. What have any of you folks found on this subject?? Web pages/books/whatever! But wait, the River was not the only "way in" to Adams County. How about Zanes Trace?? How did YOUR ancestors end up in Adams?? ...and even more interesting...WHY did they choose Adams Co.?? Phyllis in Atlanta ps...I could also use some help on when Adams became Adams....and when Brown became Brown. I've misplaced my favorite Dollarhide map book!
