Lensford Ellis Adams Author: gkeir Date: 2/25/2012 at 16:13:01 Surnames: ELLIS,ADAMS,SELLWOOD The Lenn Adams in 1920 census was indeed my g. grandfather according to a book written by Enid Adams intitled (The Decendants Of Jerimiah Adams 1794~1883) With census info; there are more mysteries to look for. Like he said he was married twice and was a widower. According to my findagrave.com records I was able to find my g. grandmother Sarah Bonner Adams Sellwood lEdwards. I am now looking for burial and death records for him. In the book it says he died at LaCrosse of LaCrosse CO WISC; unknown date. Luckily John Quincy Adams raised my g. grandfather. His mother had died when he was just six weeks old after his mother died from childbirth. His Dad Mr. Ellis never came back to claim him; thus he was raised by the Adams family.
