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.
