Hi!
I can fill you in a little on James Adams. He was
born on Mar. 4, 1814, in KY, but we don't know which
county. The marriage bond for his second marriage
shows parents born in Nelson County, KY. We do not
know their names and can find no records in Nelson
clearly indicating James's parentage. I can find James
and his family in the Harrison County, IN censuses in
1840, 50, 60, and 70. In 1880, he can be found in the
Meade County, KY census. He died on March 13, 1884,
probably in the midst of a cholera epidemic. He was
buried in Buck Grove Baptist Church.
Something interesting is that in Harrison, James and
family lived very near Richard Adams. He was born
1799, in Nelson, KY. He married Rachel Lindsay in
1828, in Nelson. We can trace Richard, but we cannot
establish a blood relation between Richard and James.
Richard died Dec., 1880 in Harrison, IN. He was
buried in Bethel United Methodist Church Cemetery in
Harrison.

Hi!
I am trying to find the parents of my 3rd gr
grandfather James Adams. He was born in KY in 1814,
moved to Harrison County, IN and then moved to and
died in Meade, KY in 1884.
Going through the Harrison County Probate index, I
found a Benjamin Adams listed early on. The left
column was titled box #, but Benjamin's entry had no
box number beside it. On the right side there was a
column headed "Term disposed of". Benjamin's entry
was # 1.
I'm asking for the advice of the Harrison probate
experts out there. Without a box number, would it
make
sense just to go to the LDS film of the earliest
probate records? Any help would be appreciated!
Also, is anyone out there researching Leander Adams?
I believe I have found land transactions between
James
Adams and Leander.
Families in Harrison: Adams, Tindall, Tinley,
Terry,
Lethco, Cotner, McKim, Keller, Lay, Bird.

I am not an Adams researcher, but I am showing in my
Kentucky/Indiana
data-base a James Adams b abt 1814 who married to a
Sarah Tinley/Tinsley
(probably abt 1837 in Harrison or Martin Co IN).
This James is listed in
the 1840 Harrison Co IN Census. I have a note on
him saying his parents
were from Nelson, Muhlenburg Co, Kentucky. I am
also showing a Benjamin
Adams, a Methodist Preacher, who arrived in Harrison
Co IN abt 1817 ...
married Margaret Watson February 24, 1825 Martin Co
IN My gggrandfather
George W Henson married Anna Forbish on July 21,
1825 Martin Co IN ... if
you come across any thing on them please let me
know. Thanks Robert for
sharing. 'R.E.'
