I am not sure if we are in the correct family tree. In review of what I
know of fact is that my Washington Adams was born in OH in 1803. This is
confirmed in the 1850 and 1860 census. He married Laura Hill in 1832 in
Lagrange IN. I have a copy of that marriage license. She was the daughter
of Moses J Hill and his wife Betsey (Winslow) Adams. She is the same family
as the Mayflower Winslow family but her ancestors came later to America.
Washington and Laura had three children. Mary J Adams, Moses A, Adams and
Martha Adams. All three children born in IN. Sometime before 1860 the
Washington Adams family moved to Mt Carroll, IL and in 1863 daughter Mary J.
married my wife's great grandfather married Mary J. Adams. His name was
Andrew Jackson Christian. (A made-up name).
Back in 184, while the Washington Adams family was still living in Lagrange
there was a family named John Adams with a bunch of kids. We have thought
and it may be possible that this John Adams family maybe related to our
Washington Adams. Perhaps parents and brothers and sisters. However, this
is not proved They could be cousins. Many years ago I wrote to Lagrange
county historical society but did not receive any help. Now that I know
more about the family, I may try to contact them again to see if we can't
come up with more information. Please feel free to give any information you
might have that would be of help. Thanks again for your email.
