We now know that we are related to by DNA Robert Newton Adams , b. abt 1761, Augusta Co. VA. He had a son Ezekiel Adams b abt 1787, also in Augusta Co. VA, died ?WVA, married Betsy Clark Robert also had a son David Adams b abt 1811 VA died 1888. My John Adams b 1802 VA married Nancy Bell b. 1802 KY (Pulaski Co) They married in Monroe Co. IN in 1826. I have all the info on down from them. I am certain that my John Adam's (1802) parents were Hugh Adams born abt 1775 VA, married or may just lived with Eleanor Ellet. However someone attached a wife to Hugh and Nancy's son, John Adams born 1802. I am fairlly certain that the wife attached is incorrect. We have all the same family names and a picture of an Ansil Adams from each family that look exactly like twins. Our migration was the same. From VA to KY (Pulaski Co.) to Monroe Co. IN, and from there some of Hugh's family moved on to Putnam Co. IN. Nancy Bell's parents lived next to Hugh Adams in Pulaski Co. KY and in Monroe Co. IN. I guess I am really looking for Hugh Adams in or around Augusta Co. VA or maybe where some of the Augusta Co. Adams came from in PA. Hugh Adams b abt 1775, and my John Adams born 1802 VA were illiterate. Hugh's and Eleanor's children were: Ancel James, m. Malinda Jenkins, Nerigh Rebecca John b 1802 Mariah b 1809, m.John Humphreys 1836 William b 1811 m. Catherine Spencer 1841 Rachel b 1812 m William Sales Hugh b 1815 My John b 1802 - married Nancy Bell Children: James B abt. !828 Hugh Calvin b abt 1829 William Riley b 1831 John M/Quency b 1835 Francis Marion b abt 1837 Ancil Monroe b 1839 (Hugh's grandson named Hugh is also Ancil Monroe) Sarah Jane (twin sister of Ancil Monroe) Hope this isn't too long Thanks Judy Bruder judybe@sbcglobal.net
