Good morning Rose, The "Stewart County, Tennessee, Marriage Record Book #4" covers the years of 1838 through 1848. There are several ADAMS family members mentioned in this book. One of them is a gentleman named James ADAMS. Although the name of James is pretty common I'll give you the marriage information about him, just in case this might be a later marriage of the James ADAMS you are inquiring about. ~~~~~~~~~~ This James ADAMS married a lady by the name of Silva HOUSTON. They applied for their marriage license on July 8, 1841, and their marriage was solemnized on July 8, 1841. Their marriage ceremony was performed by James ROSS, Minister. ~~~~~~~~~~ There are five other members of the ADAMS family mentioned in this book. The name of Catherine THOMAS is not mentioned in this book, but there are five members of the THOMAS family shown in it. Is there anyone else you would like me to look up in this book? Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. "Land Of The Free!"
