My Adams and Marlin lines were in Chester So.Carolina around the 1820-1830's before moving on to White Co. IL. There were some that located around Obion TN but my direct lines went to IL. I know the Marlin line came over from Londonderry Ireland abt 1835 but not sure about the Adams, other than they were here before the Marlins. I have a lot of information but willing to share and always looking for more. My ADAMS family is my brick wall. Janean
