Going backwards to 1850 & 1860, I found a Hugh H. Adams (1841) in the 1860 Jackson
Twp., Morgan Co., IN census and based on Captain's statement in the 1880 census, his
parent were both born in Kentucky, this particular family fits.

RE: "Ruth" Nelson
There is also a Ruth Nelson, age 16, born in IN, living in 1860 Green Twp., Morgan Co., IN
home of John & Martha Shields, working as a domestic. Since Hugh Adams married Ruth
Nelson in Morgan Co., IN, could this be the "Ruth" he married?
I didn't locate a "Ruth" Nelson in the 1850 census, but did find a Margaret
Nelson with parents John & Ruth in Jackson Co., IN. She was also listed in 1860 with
her parents and siblings.
I hope this helps...........Karen
