I didn't have much luck with the Adams. We don't have Elmore Adams on our list of Civil War vets for Wise County. Links to these headstone pictures (the ones that we found) are on page http://www.wisecountytexas.info/cemeteries/s.htm Found a birth certificate for a child of Bill and Bertha Stevens Splawn on page http://www.wisecountytexas.info/births/child_r-z.htm Also found funeral records for them on page http://www.wisecountytexas.info/funeralrecords/ I'll send you these things in separate emails.
