I'm interested in any info on Benjamin Adams. I have found land records for Benjamin
Adams in Harrison as early as 1817. I also just found out that there was a Benjamin Adams
living around Corydon from the teens through the late 1820s. This man was a Methodist
preacher, politician and physician. This man also supposedly was instrumental in starting
the first school in Corydon.
My interest here relates to finding the parents of my 3rd gr grandfather, James Adams. He
shows up in the Harrison census first in 1840. We know from a KY marriage bond that his
parents were from Nelson. He himself was born in KY in 1814. He married Sarah Tinley in
Harrisonn in 1837.
Any help would be appreciated!
