Hi all,
I want to welcome each and everyone who has subscribed to this list for Adams County.
My name is Jennie and I am the new listowner for Adams County on rootsweb.
Currently, there are 65 subscribers on the adams - list and 35 subscribers on the digest,
bringing the total to 100. That is a fair amount of people!
I won't be asking for a roll call, but would be interested in knowing of any problems
you have in finding a ancestor coming from Adams County.
To start the discussion, I am related to a John Walker of French Township. He shows up in
the 1850 census but then disappears during the 1860's. He has a family. Now the civil
war happens between 1860-1865, and he is in the Union army. I got that from military
records.
Now, I don't know if they moved away or if he died and his wife remarried. There was
another Walker family in Monroe, but they are not related. This is my roadblock.
I'm usually very quiet so will leave this open for more discussions whether it has to
do with family ties or other happenings in Adams County, whether current or past.
Please join in..
Jennie
