Terry---I have a Mary Adams, daughter of Thomas Adams. The family moved around PA for over a hundred years, and did live in Somerset briefly. There are so many Adamses though, and so many confusing lines. Do you know Mary's father's name? Some of my Adamses were illiterate too, which was very common at that time since my people grew up in the frontier. My first Adams (that we know of) was Robert, who lived in Monaghan Twp. York Co in 1750. One of his sons, Samuel, was killed by Indians, and another, Solomon, escaped an Indian raid and lost everything. Their brother, Elijah, a Quaker, was my ancestor. There were hundreds of Mary Adamses in PA, but if you think her father may have been Thomas, let me know. Diane in OH
