I'm at a brick wall and am hoping you might have information that might help me scrape
some mortar away! I'm trying to find the parents of Adin W. Williams B: 1826 in Ohio.
D: 5/24/1896 in Buffalo, NY. He appears in the 1850 Census as a 23 year old farmer, living
with Polly and John S. Williams (son of Simeon & Tirzah Williams). Also in the
household is Mary M. McLean (age 6). On later census records in the Buffalo, NY vicinity
Adin cites that his mother was born in CT and his father was born in VT. Adin W. married
Mary Caroline Davis in 1850 and he went from being a farmer to working with the NY
Railroad and then became an oil dealer.
Any idea who his parents are? I had assumed that John S. and Polly were but it seems more
like he was a nephew or cousin?
Sarah
