An ADAMS Family of Virginia, North
Carolina, and Kentucky
Compiled by Paul Zebe
Contents
Introduction
|
The Adams family from which I descend is first found living in
the Northern Neck of Virgina on Goose Creek near the
Fauquier-Loudoun County border (see map, which shows where the Adams brothers
Daniel and Abraham - my ancestor - were living). The mother was
named Elizabeth, but the father's name is not known. Some
believe that his name was John and that he died in Fairfax
County, Virginia, in 1750. The couple had five sons - John,
Isaac, Abraham, Daniel, and Jacob - and an unknown number of
daughters. The sons and their families removed from the Northern
Neck region during the 1760s. Isaac, Abraham, Jacob, and Daniel
all eventually came to settle in Rowan County, North Carolina.
My ancestor, Abraham, left Rowan County during the 1790s and
moved to Clark County, Kentucky. Then in the late 1790s, he
moved to Madison County, KY, where he died, probably in 1816.
I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who is
descended from this family.
