Russell w. Adams Sat May 3 09:56:50 1997
Searching for birthplace of Samuel Adams who married Anne Adams, daughter of William Adams (who immigrated to U.S. with James McCoun from Ireland) and Mary Walker. Samuel and Anne moved to Salt River in Mercer county, Ky about 1773 along with the McAfees, Anne Adams' parents, and Ashbys. William Adams also had a son named Samuel who was in the original party of 6 or so, The McAfee company who left Virginia to explore the Ohio river and its' tributaries in May 1772, returning to Virginia in August, this Samuel is the brother in law of the Samuel who I am looking for. This means these are two groups of Adams. I believe Samuel b.c.1743, my 5th gg. immigrated from County Cavan, Ireland c.1758, and probably therefore of the Cavan Adams, who immigrated to Ireland from Scotland c.1600 (Adam) of Gordon, but am unable to find documented proof. Anne Adams' parents, William Adams and Mary (Walker) and many of their children left Mercer County and settled up the Wabash in Indiana and Illinois (See Ruby Cronk's work). Many Adams in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio are descended of these lines. My 4gg., Thomas b.1772, son of Samuel and Anne, m. Anne Ashby and moved to Hopkins Cty., KY c1800 along with other Ashbys. Thomas was the 1st sheriff of Hopkins in 1806. I have the nearly complete Bible records of my lineages to Thomas.

SEXTON - II am helping a friend, Dr. Carlton L. Sexton, Baltimore, Md. to find his Virginia lineage. His father, Carlton H. Sexton, was born c 1890 and raised in Norfolk, Va. We think his ancestors were from Virginia, and understand there are many Sextons in the Roanoke area. Unfortunately that is about all that we know. We would like to obtain Sexton family history in Virginia to see if we can make a connection. Are you able to post such a query? Any assistance in this matter would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, G. D. Riley, Jr.
