Hi Sarah, Here are all the ADAMS marriages in Washington County: Marriage Index: KY, NC, TN, VA, WV, 1728-1850 Adams, Alexander Spouse : Brown, Lindy Marriage date : Oct 14, 1826 Adams, Isaac Spouse : Nelson, Sarah Marriage date : Dec 1, 1831 Adams, Martin Spouse : Cassaday, Jane Marriage date : Oct 22, 1835 Adams, Redford Spouse : Painter, Emaline Marriage date : Sep 17, 1846 Adams, Samuel Spouse : Painter, Vina Marriage date : Mar 2, 1849 Isenbarger, Nicholas Spouse : Adams, Elizabeth Marriage date : Feb 14, 1848 Mayfield, Charles Spouse : Adam, Jane Marriage date : Jan 31, 1838 I will say that I am also seeing something very interesting, now that I am looking through these marriages. Recently, I have begun to correspond with another MAYFIELD researcher who had NELSON connections in Washington and Greene Counties, in TN, and seeing the ADAMS/NELSON and ADAMS/MAYFIELD connections above, just makes me realize that these folks are apparently all interconnected. Now, I am going to have to go back to the other lady and see if she has any NELSON/ADAMS information in her files! Here are the ADAMS for Greene County, TN: Marriage Index: KY, NC, TN, VA, WV, 1728-1850 Adams, David Spouse : Ortto, Desdamona Marriage date : Oct 16, 1838 Adams, David Jr. Spouse : Gray, Anne Marriage date : Oct 29, 1817 Adams, Ezekiel Spouse : Scully, Rebecca Marriage date : Jun 25, 1848 Adams, James Spouse : Cusick, Catherine Marriage date : Sep 3, 1796 Adams, John Spouse : Davis, Sally Marriage date : Apr 12, 1809 Adams, Samuel Spouse : Smith, Mary Marriage date : Feb 3, 1797 Adams, Thomas Spouse : Harmon, Anna Marriage date : Aug 27, 1817 My MAYFIELDS were in the 4th Civil District of Washington County, and someone who is familiar with the location was once telling me that the Greene/Washington County...4th District area were only a matter of a couple of miles apart, and if that's the case, then it explains why it was so easy for them to be found in both locations, and related.
