My family ties go back to Greene County as well. Denton Adams (different from yours)>Francis B Adams>Ulysses Grant Adams>Mary Ellen Adams, who was my father's mother. These families were bi-racial and married in and out of the family. From what I have learned from Jan there were about 13 families of mixed race living in Greene County, Pennsylvania in the 1800's. My Denton Adams shows up briefly and then is gone. We believe his wife was Lydia Danes (Dains). Their son Francis B moved to Marshall County, West Virginia where he is listed on the Census as being mulatto. Ulysses is also listed in the Marshall County Census as being mulatto but then he moved to Calhoun County, West Virginia. When he arrived in Calhoun County he was far enough away from Greene County that he was able to be listed as white on the next! Census, as was Francis B. It appears that because of racial tensions they began to move from Greene County out west. You should take a look at her website and contact her if you need to. She is a wonderful person and has been working on the Adam's genealogy for years.
