I am looking to connect my Washington ADAMS with his proper parents and
ancestors. Washington ADAMS was born in 1811 in Ohio, but I do not know
the county of his birth. I do know that in 1832 Washington ADAMS
married Laura HILL in Lagrange county IN. Laura was the daughter of Dr.
Moses HILL. The Hill family migrated to IN from NY about 1827/29.
In the Elkhart IN census for 1830 is shown a John ADAMS family with a
male child between 15-20. This would match the age group of my
Washington ADAMS. On the next line of that census record is shown the
name of Asa or Ala ADAMS. This maybe the son of the John ADAMS next
door. On the next page of that census is shown the Dr. Moses HILL
family. Since this was a wilderness area in 1830, it is quite possible
that John ADAMS was the father of my Washington ADAMS.
The John Adams family does not appear in the 1840 census. So he either
moved away or passed away. I do find Washington ADAMS with his wife Laura.
Does anyone have information on my Washington ADAMS or on the John ADAMS
family? Thank you for your help.
Perry Adams
