In the 1850 census he is listed living with Joseph Adams and his two daughers. Jane Meek McLean a widow and Amada Adams. In 1860 Joseph Adams and Jane die. William Speight Adams moves in with his uncle James Leander Adams and his family. I have no idea who his parents are.I believe that Jane Adams McLean was his mother, just a guess. I am thankful for any help.
