Due to the 1908 courthouse fire in Adams County, I am unable to document that my family lived there. This is what I know: According to 1880/90 census: Edmond Verax and MaryAnne (nee Roell) Verax lived in Greene Township, Adams County. They moved there in/about 1865, and raised seven children. Some of the children are: George (B.1979), Charles (B.1880or81), Harry, William, MaryRose. Edmond died October 1894. MaryAnne also had two children from previous marriage. She was the widow of Henry Hitter when she married Edmond. The only record that I've been able to get from the Adams County Clerk was a death certificate for Charles Verax (Jan. 1960). George was my g-grandfather. And he is buried in Alexandria Kentucky. Can anyone give me any leads? Edmond Verax was from France, and was suppose to have arrive here in US in 1865, but no idea if he lived somewhere else before settling in Adams County. According to his obituary, he was a close personal friend of Honorable George Pendleton. Not sure who this is, but must have been important to have been mentioned in the obit. I appreciate any help you can send my way. MaryAnn (Verax) Meyer
