 The completeness and accuracy of a work such as this depends chiefly 
 on the cooperation of members of the family. Fortunately, by far the 
 greater number have done what they could to contribute data fully and 
 correctly. A few have given special assistance in furnishing genealogical 
 information itself; also in sending in the originals or authentic copies of 
 valuable letters and documents. They have brought to light interesting 
 facts and experiences to make this book a richer store of information. 
 Among those to whom our thanks are especially due for such help are:

INTRODUCTION 
 
 GENESIS OF THE BOOK 
 
 "The Family and Descendants of William Barnes Adams and Martha 
 Larimore Adams" was begun by our mother many years ago. Much of 
 the basic research was done prior to 1938. So far as possible, we have 
 brought the information up to date. Much additional research over an 
 unknown length of time will be necessary to trace farther back the an- 
 cestry of William Barnes Adams and his wife. Accordingly, we have put 
 into permanent form at this time the information now assembled. Any 
 important facts obtained from further research will be sent to all holders 
 of the book. 
 
 ARRANGEMENT 
 
 The descendants of each child of William Barnes Adams and Martha 
 Larimore Adams constitute a separate section of the genealogical out- 
 line. Thus, the arrangement of the outline is by family lines of descent. 
 
 The remainder of the book contains biographical sketches, letters and 
 documents, and interesting items that illuminate the earlv life of the 
 family and the early history of Southeastern Indiana. 
 
 AUTHORITIES 
 
 In addition to the personal knowledge of the authors, the authorities 
 for the statements made and the data presented are given in footnotes. 
 These appear at the end of each section and biographical sketch and are 
 indicated by the small numerals that follow names, words, sentences, 
 etc., throughout the text. 
 
 INDEX 
 
 The Index includes the names of all persons having direct or indirect 
 relation with the family or with this genealogical research, and is in 
 two sections. The first includes only the names of lineal descendants or 
 ancestors of William B. Adams and Martha Larimore Adams. The sec- 
 ond includes the names of those who married or were adopted into the 
 family, together with the names of others mentioned in relationships 
 or in connection with this work. 
 
 NUMBERING SYSTEM 
 
 Each lineal descendant of William Barnes Adams and Martha Lari- 
 more Adams has been given a number, which appears opposite the 
 name in the genealogical outline and in the index of names. Only lineal 
 descendants are numbered. Thus, absence of a number indicates a 
 person not a lineal descendant. 
 
 Further, the numbers indicate the generation to which each descend- 
 ant belongs, in the following manner: 
 
 IV 
 
First generation, viz., the children of William Barnes Adams and his 
 
 wife, are numbered from 1 to 10, inclusive. 
 Second generation — grandchildren are numbered between 20 and 99. 
 Third generation — great grandchildren — between 100 and 199. 
 Fourth generation — great, great grandchildren — between 200 and 399. 
 Fifth generation — great, great, great grandchildren — between 400 
 
 and 699. 
 Sixth generation — great, great, great, great grandchildren — 700, up. 
 
 ERRORS AND OMISSIONS 
 
 Some errors are bound to occur in such a work as this. Corrections 
 will be sent to all holders of the book, as we discover or are advised of 
 errors. 
 
 RLANK PAGES 
 
 A few blank pages will enable each owner to amplify or carry on the 
 record of his own family. 
 
 DISPOSITION OF SOURCE MATERIAL 
 
 The pertinent source material obtained in these researches will be 
 preserved in the Brookville Library at Brookville, Indiana, which is 
 equipped to care for it properly and desires to have it there. William 
 Barnes Adams and Martha Larimore Adams, although originally pio- 
 neer settlers of adjoining Fayette County, lived all their later lives in 
 Franklin County, of which Brookville is the County Seat. Many of their 
 descendants live in that part of Indiana. 
 
 Letters that constitute the authority for the information given, to- 
 gether with other material of interest to members of the family, will be 
 kept by the writers for a short time in order to answer questions that 
 may come from interested readers. Thereafter, they will be sent to the 
 Brookville Library, where they will be available to anyone interested. 
 
 In connection with this work, certain genealogical and historical in- 
 formation has been obtained respecting other families connected with 
 the Adams family. This information will be bound up in a Supplement. 
 A copy of the Supplement will be available in the Brookville Library 
 and in other libraries that have acquired "The Family and Descendants 
 of William Barnes Adams and Martha Larimore Adams."

 Lowell Limpus' Last Story: "I Died Yesterday" 
 
 Lowell Limpus, 60, a member of The News editorial staff for 33 years, was found 
 dead at 3:10 P.M. yesterday in his apartment at 45 Tudor Place. Death was due to 
 natural causes. He had served The News as reporter, copy editor, night city editor, 
 feature writer, and military correspondent. In a sealed envelope, dated Feb. 23, 1955, 
 he left his last story. It follows: 
 
 By LOWELL LIMPUS 
 
 This is the last of the 8,700 or more stories 
 I've written to appear in The News. It must be 
 the final one because I died yesterday. It's an ex- 
 clusive, too — marked "Hold for Release." 
 
 I wrote this, my own obituary, because I know 
 more about the subject than anybody else and 
 I'd rather have it honest than flowery. I'm not 
 entitled to much praise. I was just a fairly hon- 
 est, well meaning sort of guy. 
 
 He Helped Build It 
 
 Most of my adult life was spent working for 
 The News— I started June 6, 1924— and I think 
 I may claim that I helped a bit to build it. I 
 served as reporter, editor and head of the UN 
 Bureau, which I organized. In addition, I wrote 
 half a dozen pretty fair books (Ed. — They in- 
 cluded a history of the New York Fire Depart- 
 ment, a biography of Fiorello H. LaGuardia, 
 "How the Army Fights" and "Twentieth Cen- 
 tury Warfare") and one good one, exposing 
 pacificism, for which I never found a publisher. 
 Also I fooled around some with TV and radio. 
 
 Went to West Point 
 I was born in Indiana, Aug. 17,

 famous men, and I was proud of every last one of them. 
 
 I was married twice. My first wife was Ann Aitkin. It was no fault of hers that 
 our marriage collapsed. I am survived by my second wife, the former Frances 
 Holmes, of Mamaroneck, and one small, redheaded beautiful daughter who was 
 the apple of her daddy's eye. Her name is Laurel. 
 
 For the Fun of Life 
 
 To all my friends, and especially my colleagues on The News, I wish good luck 
 and as much fun as I've always gotten out of life. 
 
 I was a 32d degree Mason, a Shriner and a member of the Larchmont Presby- 
 terian Church. 
 
 I want no flowers, mourning or elaborate funeral ceremony. 
 
 Mourning would be especially inappropriate because I'm confident I'm off on the 
 greatest adventure of my life. I'm now tackling the biggest assignment any news- 
 paperman could have.

 g. KENDALL E. GARRIOTT, 0789900, Captain, Air Corps, United 
 States Army. On 29 October 1943 Captain Garriott was chosen to lead a 
 strafing attack on enemy shipping in the Kienkiang area. There he found 
 a 200-foot steamer, laden with supplies vitally needed by the enemy in 
 their Tungting Lake offensive. Captain Garriott led his flight to the de- 
 struction of this target and then into an attack which caused heavy dam- 
 age in the dock area. Despite heavy enemy ground fire a hangar at the 
 airfield was severely damaged. Captain Garriott then proceeded up a 
 nearby railroad and attacked and destroyed an enemy locomotive. Be- 
 tween 24 February 1943 and 8 January 1944 he participated in fifty com- 
 bat missions, many of which were deep into enemy territory and navi- 
 gated over difficult and poorly-mapped terrain. His actions and accom- 
 plishments have been beyond those normally expected and are in 
 accordance with the highest traditions of the Army Air Forces. Home 
 address: Rural Route No. 3, Scottsburg, Ind. 
 
 e. KENDALL E. GARRIOTT, 0789900, Captain, Air Corps, United 
 States Army. During the period 24 February 1943 to 20 September 1943, 
 Captain Garriott participated meritoriously in twenty-five combat mis- 
 sions, many of which included dive-bombing and strafing of enemy in- 
 stallations in the face of heavy ground fire. On 8 May 1943 he was in a 
 flight of fighter aircraft that furnished top cover for the bomber forma- 
 tion that destroyed an important enemy airdrome in China. About thirty 
 Japanese fighters attempted to intercept the formation but they were 
 shot down or driven awav before they gained sufficient altitude to inflict 
 any damage to our aircraft, none of which were lost. Captain Garriott's 
 devotion to duty and determination have been an inspiration to his fel- 
 low officers; his courage and skill under adverse circumstances have been 
 above and beyond that normally expected and worthy of the finest 
 traditions of the military service. Home address: Rural Route No. 3, 
 Scottsburg, Ind.

 1. John Melone, "Jr.," (to distinguish him from his father) was born in Kentucky 
 (U.S. Census Reports for Franklin County, Inch, 1850, 1870) June 17, 1795 (from 
 tombstones). 
 
 (On the headstone in the cemetery at Laurel, Ind., marking the graves of our

 but on the muster rolls of the War of 1812, and on all the records of the War 
 Department, John "Melone" appears in all cases. On pages 123 and 124 of Old 
 Deed Book No. 2 of Butler County, Ohio, the deed is recorded by which John 
 "Melone" conveyed his property there to Daniel Sortman on Dec. 5, 1835. The 
 signatures recorded are "John Melone and Jo Anna Melone, his wife." In the old 
 deed books of Franklin County, Ind., that record his first purchases of land there, 
 his name appears in all entries as "Melone." In his application for a pension for 
 his War of 1812 service (Pension and Bounty Land Applications Files S.C. 16193, 
 W.T. 20,728-40-50 and W.T. 52,892-120-55, National Archives, General Services 
 Administration), he signed his name "John Melone." Lowell Limpus showed 
 J. D. A. Morrow an old document that John's brother Charles witnessed, and he 
 spelled the name "Melone." Our Grandfather Adams in 1898 spelled his father- 
 in-law's name John "Melone." 
 
 (Furthermore, in 1938, Mrs. Minnie Lewis Ronan of Laurel, Ind., sent us a list 
 of the children of John and Joanna "Melone." She was John Melone's grand- 
 daughter, and every name on her list is spelled "Melone." 
 
 (Since certainty of record, reference, and relationship are necessary in a work of 
 this kind, we use the spelling "Melone" throughout, unless the name is actually 
 spelled "Malone" in some record quoted. This explanation is made to avoid con- 
 fusion, doubt, and uncertainty regarding ancestry and relationship, and to carry 
 back definitely the ancestral lines of his descendants who may now use the less 
 distinctive "Malone" spelling.) 
 
 John Melone, "Jr.," was a son of John Melone, "Sr.," who was a survivor of the 
 massacre of General St. Clair's Army at Fallen Timbers Nov. 4, 1791. He may 
 also have served in the Revolution. He settled in Franklin County, Ind., Aug. 6, 
 1817 ("Indiana Land Entries, Vol. I, Page 91, Cincinnati District, 1801-1840" by 
 Margaret R. Waters). The U.S. Census for Franklin County, Ind., for 1840 reports 
 John Melone, "Sr.," "soldier," as a joint head of a household, with his son, 
 Charles. He was listed in the 90-99 age group and his wife, name unknown, in 
 the 70-79 group. 
 
 John Melone, "Jr.," was a soldier in the War of 1812 and a farmer in Butler 
 County, Ohio, until he moved to Franklin County, Ind., in the spring of 1836. 
 John Melone, "Jr.," died March 13, 1884. 
 2. He married Joanna Lindley in Butler County, Ohio, on Nov. 7, 1816 (page 416, 
 Vol. I, "History of the Lindly, Lindsley, Linsley Families in America" by John M. 
 Lindly, and page 82, Marriage Book No. 1, Butler County, Ohio, Probate Court 
 records). 
 
 (See Supplement to this book in the Library at Brookville, Ind., and in other 
 libraries that have acquired this book, for further information on the Melones.) 
 Joanna Lindley was born April 6, 1795, possibly in Washington County, Pa., 
 possibly in Butler County, Ohio. The U.S. Census Report for Franklin County, 
 Ind., 1850, states "Ohio"; for 1870, it reports "Pennsylvania" as place of birth. 
 Her ancestry, as given in the above-mentioned Lindly Genealogy, is as follows: 
 Joanna Lindley (Lindly 's No. 749) was the daughter of Isaac Lindley (Lindly's 
 No. 301) and Abigail Day. Isaac Lindley was born Sept. 30, 1766, at Mendham, 
 N. J., died Oct. 10, 1840, Butler County, Ohio. Abigail Day was bom Oct. 11, 
 1771, died Oct. 13, 1849. Both are buried at Oxford, Ohio. They were married 
 Feb. 21, 1789. Isaac Lindley acquired land in Hamilton County, Ohio, between 
 1797 and 1799 (deed records, Hamilton County, Cincinnati, Ohio). 
 Isaac Lindley was the son of Demas Lindley (Lindly's No. 85), born at Morris- 
 town, N. J., June 3, 1733, died Jan. 22, 1818, Washington County, Pa., where he 
 had moved in 1773, and Joanna Prudden, who was the daughter of Joseph Prud- 
 den of Weathersfield and Joanna Lyon. That lovely name "Joanna" would be 
 borne by Joanna Lyon's descendants for generations, possibly even today. Demas 
 Lindley married Joanna Prudden Jan. 25, 1755. Demas was a soldier in the Revo-

 lutionary War (Pa. Archives, Third Series, Vol. 23, pages 199 and 311; Sixth 
 
 Series, Vol. 2, page 247). 
 
 Demas Lindley was the son of John Lindley, Jr. (Lindly's No. 34), born 1693 or 
 
 1694, died March 9, 1750, who married Sarah Plum, who died Jan. 3, 1750. She 
 
 was the daughter of John Plum and Hannah Crane. Hannah Crane was the 
 
 daughter of Deacon Azariah Crane and a granddaughter of Robert Treat, one 
 
 of the founders of Milford, Conn., also of Newark, N. J.; Commander-in-Chief of 
 
 Connecticut troops in the Indian War against King Philip; Deputy Governor, 
 
 Connecticut, in 1676, and Governor of Connecticut in 1683. (John M. Lindly in 
 
 his book incorrectly said "first Governor of New Jersey.") 
 
 John Lindley, Jr., believed by John M. Lindly to have been the son of John Linley 
 
 (Lindly's No. 6), born in Newark, N. J., 1668, died Oct. 27, 1749. 
 
 John Linley was the son of Francis Linley, first mentioned in court records of 
 
 New Haven, Conn., Dec. 3, 1645, married Susana Cullpeper in Branford, Conn., 
 
 June 24, 1655.

 26. Richard Edwin Morrow was the son of Richard Morrow, who was born Jan. 29, 
 1807, at Waynesville, Ohio, died May 16, 1893, on his farm, the same that his 
 father had bought from the U.S. Government in 1806, in Jackson Township, 
 Preble County, Ohio, and Sarah Barr Morrow, born Nov. 22, 1810, in Indiana 
 County, Pa., died Aug. 9, 1876 in Jackson Township, Preble County, Ohio, 
 married Feb. 2, 1832. Both are buried at Eaton, Ohio. 
 
 Richard Morrow was the son of Andrew Morrow, born in Orange County, N. C, 
 Dec. 29, 1767, died July 21, 1847, on his farm, the same that he had bought from 
 the U.S. Government in 1806, in Jackson Township, Preble County, Ohio, and 
 Rebecca Woody (or Laughlin) Morrow, born Nov. 30, 1769, died Aug. 27, 1856, 
 in Jackson Township, Preble County, Ohio, married Feb. 8, 1793, in Orange 
 County, N. C. Both buried in New Westville, Ohio, six miles east of Richmond, 
 Ind. Richard Morrow said that his mother's maiden name was "Rebecca Laugh- 
 
 45 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 lin," but Andrew Morrow's marriage bond in the North Carolina Historical Com- 
 mission files gives her name as "Rebecca Woody." However, she may have been 
 the widow of a James Woody, a neighbor of Andrew's, who died in 1792 about a 
 year before Andrew's marriage and whose wife's name was "Rebecca." 
 Andrew Morrow (from William Morrow's Bible, now in possession of J. D. A. 
 Morrow) was the son of William Morrow, date and place of birth unknown, 
 probably Scotland or the North of Ireland, died in 1782, probably in Orange 
 County, N. C, and Rachel Reed Morrow, date of birth unknown, probably 
 born in Dublin, Ireland. Date and place of death unknown. Date and place of 
 marriage unknown. In "Tennessee Cousins," pages 270, et seq., Worth S. Ray, 
 after admitting that the ancestry of many Morrows in Orange and other sur- 
 rounding counties of North Carolina is unknown, boldly asserts that William 
 Morrow is a descendant of a David Morrow, an early settler of Lower Norfolk 
 County, Va. There is no ground whatever for this assertion. Our grandfather said 
 that his grandfather, William, first came with some of his brothers to Eastern 
 Pennsylvania, where he had relatives living. This would have been about 1750. 
 It is true that there were a number of Morrows in Eastern Pennsylvania at that 
 time. Then, after residing there a short time, William and two other brothers 
 joined the movement of settlers southwestward down the Allegheny Valleys to 
 Western Virginia and into Western and Central North Carolina. William and a 
 James Morrow, presumably his brother, purchased adjoining plantations in Or- 
 ange County, as shown by the record of grants from the Earl of Granville from 
 1754 to 1756 (in Dept. of Archives and History, Raleigh, N. C). 
 William Morrow was one of the Regulators who opposed the exploitation of the 
 North Carolina backwoodsmen in 1768-72. He was one of the signers of a peti- 
 tion to the Governor, not dated, but probably April 30, 1768 (Colonial Records 
 of North Carolina, Vol. 7,p. 733). William Morrow and Rachel Morrow furnished 
 supplies, horses, etc., to the Revolutionary Army. William was not a soldier in 
 the Revolution, though he was killed in a skirmish between Revolutionary sol- 
 diers and Tories in 1782, but the services that he and his wife performed in 
 furnishing supplies to the Revolutionary Army are accepted by the N.S.D.A.R. 
 as making the descendants of each eligible for membership in that society — 
 William for furnishing provisions, etc. (Accounts of U. S. with North Carolina; 
 War of the Revolution, Book A, p. 79), Rachel for horse hire (North Carolina 
 Revolutionary Army Accounts, Vol. 6, p. 2, Folio 3). 
 
 Mr. Ray also "presumes" that the Sarah Barr, whom Richard Morrow married, 
 was the daughter of a Barr who resided near Nashville, Tenn. This is incorrect. 
 Sarah Barr was the daughter of Alexander Barr and Mary McElhiney Barr. Alex- 
 ander Barr was born in April or May, 1772, died Aug. 11, 1825. Mary McElhiney 
 was born in 1774 or 1775, probably in Dauphin County, Pa., then Lancaster 
 County, married 1802 or 1803, probably in Lancaster County. Died Oct. 25, 
 1863. (Dates of births and deaths from their tombstones in the cemetery.) Buried 
 at Gettysburg, Preble County, Ohio. 
 
 Mary McElhiney was the daughter of Thomas McElhiney of West Hanover 
 Township, Dauphin County, Pa., then Lancaster County, who is buried in the 
 old Hanover Churchyard one mile north of Shellstown, 14 miles east of Harris- 
 burg on the Pottsville Pike, born 1744, died Sept. 1, 1828, who was a Revolution- 
 ary Soldier. On Page 947, Vol. 7, 5th Series, Pa. Archives, State Library at Harris- 
 burg, appears the roster of "Captain William Allen's Company," the First Com- 
 pany, 9th Battalion, Lancaster County Militia, completed and certified by Cap- 
 tain William Allen in 1782. It contains the name of Thomas "McElheaney." 
 Miss Jessica Ferguson, Genealogist at the Library, told J. D. A. Morrow Nov. 1 
 and 2, 1929, that this company was recruited in the West Hanover Township 
 locality. 
 Tax records for many years showed only one Thomas "McElheany" in that 
 
 46 
 
THIRD CHILD 
 
 general neighborhood. 
 
 In the Dauphin County Courthouse, File Ml-7, Package No. 5, is the will of this 
 landholder, which, among other bequests, makes one "to his daughter, Mary" and 
 his "son-in-law, Alexander Barr." The will is signed in his own handwriting, 
 "Thomas McElhiney." 
 
 In the cemetery, the stone at this man's grave reads "Thomas McElhenney Sr." 
 His son's tombstone in the same plot reads "John only son of Thomas McElheney, 
 dec'd." 
 
 John was born Feb., 1777, died Aug. 19, 1859. Beside John's grave, the tomb- 
 stone of his wife, who was born July 4, 1784, died June 27, 1868, reads "Hannah 
 McElhiney." To the left of Thomas' tombstone is another for "Mary McElhenny, 
 died Aug. 4, 1870, aged 74 years." Her relationship to Thomas is not now known. 
 In the tax records, this man's name is spelled "Thomas McElheany." It was Miss 
 Ferguson's definite conclusion that the Thomas "McElhiney," who signed the 
 will, the "Thomas McElhenney" buried in the old Hanover Churchyard, the 
 Thomas "McElheany" assessed on 130 acres of land in the old Hanover neigh- 
 borhood, and the Thomas McElheaney" of Capt. William Allen's Company of 
 Revolutionary Militia were one and the same, and the father of Richard Edwin 
 Morrow's maternal grandmother, Mary McElhinev Barr. Her judgment has been 
 accepted by the N.S.D.A.R. 
 27. Herbert Stevens Bowers was the son of Joseph Tomkins Bowers. Joseph was born 
 at Billerica, Mass., Sept. 19, 1794, died at Lincoln, Neb., March 20, 1881 (from 
 his tombstone, Wyuka Cemetery, Lincoln, and Billerica Vital Records). His sec- 
 ond wife, Almaria Stevens, was the mother of Herbert Stevens, their youngest 
 son. She was born Feb. 3, 1810, at Chelmsford, Mass. (Wyuka tombstone and 
 Chelmsford Vital Records to 1850); died Feb. 1, 1887, at Lincoln, Neb. Married 
 Nov. 22, 1830, at Chelmsford or Lowell, Mass. (Intent, p. 191, Chelmsford V.R. 
 Marriage, Lowell V.R. Lowell was incorporated 1826 from part of Chelmsford.) 
 Daughter of Samson and Phebe Barker Stevens, married March 24, 1791. 
 (Chelmsford V.R.) 
 
 Benjamin Bowers was the father of Joseph Tompkins Bowers. Benjamin was 
 born at Billerica Feb. 11, 1754, died Nov. 26, 1835, buried in Old South Ceme- 
 tery in Billerica, S.A.R. marker on his grave ("Cemetery Inscriptions" hand- 
 written and deposited in the New England Genealogical and Historical Library, 
 Boston). Revolutionary War service: "Bowers, Benjamin, Billerica, Pvt., Capt. 
 Jonathan Stickney's Co., Col. Ebenezer Bridge's (27th) Regiment; muster roll 
 dated Aug. 1, 1775; enlisted April 25, 1775; service 3 mos. 14 days; also, order 
 for bounty coat or its equivalent in money dated Cambridge, Nov. 16, 1775." 
 (From "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolutionary War," Vol. 2, 
 p. 333.) In "Historical Register of Officers of the Continental Army during the 
 War of the Revolution" by Francis B. Heitman, Revised Edition, p. 521, it says 
 of Major Stickney, "Captain in Lexington Alarm, April, 1775, Col. Bridge's Mass. 
 Regiment, May to December, was a Major in "Shays Rebellion." 
 Benjamin married Silence Stickney, mother of Joseph T. Bowers, March 28, 
 178(4?), daughter of his Revolutionary commander, Major Jonathan and Silence 
 Stickney; she was born Aug. 13, 1758, and died Oct. 16. 1803 ("Historv of 
 Billerica," Hazen, p. 15; "Stickney Family, 1869"). 
 
 Josiah Bowers was the father of Benjamin Bowers. Josiah, born Jan. 10, 1719 or 
 1720, died April 20, 1794, married Jan. 17, 1744, Abigail Tompson, mother of 
 Benjamin, daughter of Benjamin and Alice Kidder Tompson (or Thompson), died 
 Nov. 5, 1771. After the death of Abigail Tompson Bowers, Nov. 5, 1771, Josiah 
 married Maria Trowbridge Jan. 28, 1773, by whom he had one daughter, Sarah. 
 ("Billerica Births, Deaths & Marriages to 1850," p. 27; "History of Billerica," 
 Hazen, pps. 14, 15.) Revolutionary War service: "Bowers, Josiah, Billerica, Sgt.,

 age from Ticonderoga home dated Dec. , 1776." (From "Massachusetts Soldiers 
 and Sailors in the Revolutionary War," Vol. 2, p. 336). 
 
 Capt. Jonathan Bowers was the father of Josiah Bowers. Jonathan, born Dec. 17, 
 1674, died Feb. 12, 1744/5, married May 17, 1699, Josiah's mother, Hannah 
 Barrett, born 1677, died Oct. 16, 1765, aged 86. His children were born in 
 Chelmsford, but he moved to Billerica in 1729 and was the ancestor of the 
 Billerica Bowers families (Hazen, "History of Billerica," 1883, p. 14, appendix). 
 Jonathan is listed in "Soldiers in King Philip's War" by Geo. Madison Bodge, 
 1896, as a captain and was granted land for his service in Narragansett No. 6, now 
 Templeton, Mass. 
 
 Jerathmeel Bowers was the father of Jonathan Bowers. Jerathmeel, born March 
 2, 1650, died in Groton, Mass., March 4, 1721. He sold the homestead inherited 
 from his father, and in 1683-4 moved to Chelmsford, Mass., where he was promi- 
 nent and served as Representative to the General Court. He married Elizabeth 
 ("History of Cambridge, Mass.," Paige, 1877, pp. 493-4). Jerath- 
 meel is also listed in Bodge as a soldier in King Philip's War. 
 George Bowers was the father of Jerathmeel Bowers. George was in Plymouth 
 in 1636-37, where he was made a freeman that year, and served as constable 
 1638-39. Apparently moved to Cambridge, Mass., soon after. Married the mother 
 of Jerathmeel, Elizabeth Worthington (second wife) April 15, 1649 ("History of 
 Cambridge," Paige, pp. 493-4; "Plymouth Colony Records" 1:53). For additional 
 information on the Bovvers family, sec Supplement to this book in the library in 
 Brookvillc, Ind., and in various other libraries that have acquired this book. 
 
 28. Nancy Lehmer was the daughter of Derrick Fernstuck Lehmer and Isabel Smith 
 Peery, married Aug. 8, 1848, at Greensburg, Ind. 
 
 Derrick Fernstuck Lehmer was born May 30, 1822, at Somerset, Pa., died Jan. 
 31, 1908, at Omaha, Neb., buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery, Omaha. 
 He was the son of Henry Lehmer and Catharine Younkin of Somerset County, Pa. 
 Henry Lehmer was the son of Johonn Jacob and Catharine Lehmer and was 
 born April 19, 1798, on Laurel Ridge near Somerset, Pa. 
 
 Jacob Lehmer (Johonn Jacob) was born Aug. 1, 1758, on the Bermudian Creek 
 in York County, Pa., died Dec. 4, 1836, at Somerset, Pa. His grave is decorated 
 with a Revolutionary War marker. He was the son of William and Susonna 
 Lehmer. 
 
 William Lehmer was born in 1729 in Germany. On Aug. 13, 1750, he landed in 
 Philadelphia from the ship "Edinburg." He stated that his parents were Wilhelm 
 and Elizabeth Lehmer of Wittcrau, which is in Oberhessen, Germany. (From 
 "Pennsylvania German Pioneers" by Ralph Beaver Strasburger, "Pa. German 
 Society Proceedings," Vol. 42, 1934, copied and sent to us Jan. 5, 1940, by Mrs. 
 Charles H. Blake, Strawberry Meadow, Lincoln, Mass., a granddaughter of Der- 
 rick Fernstuck Lehmer; present address, Box 613, Hillsboro, N. C). 
 At the time of his Revolutionary War service, Johonn Jacob was residing in 
 Monahan Township, York County, Pa. His name appears as "Jacob Lehmer" on 
 the muster roll of Capt. Jacob Mouser's Company of the Pa. Regiment com- 
 manded by Col. Robert Magaw for the month of July, 1777, which shows that 
 Jacob Lehmer served in the capacity of private. He was also a private in Walter 
 Finney's Company, 6th Pa. Regiment, commanded by Lt. Col. Josiah Herman, 
 muster roll of Oct., 1778, dated Nov. 16, 1778, on duty. (Pa. Archives, Vol. 3, 
 p. 115, 5th series; Vol. 21, p. 636, 3rd series, and Vol. 25, p. 566, 3rd series.) His 
 service has been accepted by the N.S.D.A.R. for admission to that organization.

 19. Charles R. Perin's lineal descent from colonial ancestors is set forth in the 
 "Genealogy of the Perrin Family," compiled by Col. Glover Perin, Asst. Surgeon 
 General, U.S. Army, Ft. Snelling, Minn., June, 1885, printed by the Pioneer 
 Press Co., St. Paul, Minn. 
 
 Col. Perin cites "The History of Antiquities of the County of Leicester, England" 
 as mentioning the Perin family, Ashby de la Touche. (Miss Marion Harvey of 
 London has written us that this is a mis-print for "Ashby de la Zouche"). He 
 supposes that John Perryn, the first member of the family to come to America, 
 was a member of the Perryn family of Leicestershire. 
 The first ancestor of the Perin family in America was John Perryn, born 1614, 
 
 72 
 
 
FIFTH CHILD 
 
 died Sept. 13, 1674. At the age of 21, he came from London, England, to Brain- 
 tree, Mass., Aug. 10, 1635, in the ship "Safety." His wife, Ann Perryn, was pre- 
 sumed to have been one of the "Anns" named in the list of passengers. 
 For some years, he lived in Braintree and then was one of the founders of 
 Rehoboth, Mass., where he and Ann Perryn, presumably his widow, are buried. 
 He had a son, John Perrin, his second child, born 1642 (?), died 1692 (?) in 
 Rehoboth, married Mary Hunt (?) 1667, who died 1680. 
 
 John Perrin, first son of above John, born Oct. 12, 1668, died May 6, 1694, in 
 Rehoboth, Mass., married Sarah 
 
 John Perrin, only child of above John, born March 8, 1692, died Feb. 28, 1731, 
 resided in Rehoboth, married in 1716 Rachel Ide, born 1695, died Dec. 4, 1780. 
 Jesse Perrin, son of above John, born Jan. 24, 1726, died Jan. 15, 1801, was 
 Town Clerk of Rehoboth 1762-1787, married Rachel Ide, daughter of Daniel 
 Ide, May 11, 1749. She was born Dec. 30, 1730; died Aug. 15, 1808. 
 Lemuel Perin, first child of Jesse Perrin, born Oct. 21, 1749, in Rehoboth, Mass., 
 died July 9, 1822, near Connersville, Ind. Dropped one "R" from his surname, 
 by what authority is not known. Resided in North Adams, Mass., from thence 
 emigrated to Ohio near Cincinnati (circa 1806). Served in Revolutionary War 
 under Capt. John Perry. Married Martha Nasel (Nash?) Nov. 25, 1773. Date of 
 her birth ; date of death unknown. (Nash is correct.) 
 
 At this point, we add to and correct the foregoing statement from Col. Glover 
 Perin's "Genealogy of the Perrin Family," as follows: 
 
 In Vol. 12, p. 142, "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolutionary 
 War," this entry occurs: "Perin, Lemuel, Capt. Perry's Co., Col. Timothy Walk- 
 er's (22nd) regt.; order for bounty coat or its equivalent in money dated camp 
 at Roxbury, Oct. 26, 1775; also sergeant, Capt. Nathaniel Carpenter's Co., Col. 
 Thomas Carpenter's regt.; service 16 days; company marched from Rehoboth 
 to Bristol, R. I., on the alarm of Dec. 8, 1776." This was Col. Perin's authority 
 for his statement that Lemuel served in the Revolution. However, on p. 189 of 
 Vol. 12 above, this entry appears: "Perrin, Lemuel, Rehoboth, private, Capt. 
 John Perry's Co. of Minute-men, which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775, 
 1 week, 1 day; also, corporal, Capt. John Perry's Co., Col. Timothy Walker's 
 regt., muster roll dated Aug. 1, 1775; enlisted April 28, 1775; service 3 mos., 1 
 week, 4 days; also, company return dated Oct. 6, 1775, also sergeant, Capt. John 
 Perry's Co., Col. Abiel Mitchel's regt.; appointed July 27, 1780, discharged Oct. 
 30, 1780; service 3 mo., 5 days; regiment raised to reinforce Continental Army 
 at Rhode Island for 3 months." 
 
 From Ruth Easterbrook Thomas, an experienced and trained genealogist of 9 
 Ashburton Place, Boston 8, Mass., we have this on Oct. 20, 1958: 
 "Dear Mr. Morrow: To the best of my belief, from all records available, I would 
 say that Lemuel Perrin and Lemuel Perin, in Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in the 
 Revolution, concerns only one soldier, Lemuel, born in Rehoboth 21 Oct. 1749. 
 . . . There are many variations of spelling almost any name. I can find no other 
 Lemuel Perrin, et vars., in New England at this period, certainly no other in 
 Rehoboth. Both records concern the same man. 
 
 " 'A History of Rehoboth, Mass.' by George H. Tilton, A.M., 1918, Chapt. 3, 'The 
 Revolutionary War,' lists soldiers under two headings: 
 "Minute men Apr. 19, 1775 Captains 
 
 Perrin, Lemuel Perry" 
 
 ( Note that this History lists only one Lemuel Perrin, not two, but the service 
 records given in "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolution" give rec- 
 ords for two Lemuels, both in the same regiment, both in the same company, both 
 at the same time, whereas the Vital Records of Rehoboth show there was only 
 one Lemuel at that time, as follows.) 
 "The Rehoboth vital records give the following: 
 
 73 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 p. 714 Lemuel of Jesse and Radial, b. Rehoboth, 21 Oct. 1749 
 
 301 Lemuel and Martha Nash, both of Rehoboth, m. by Rev. Ephraim Hyde 
 
 25 Nov. 1773. Int. 23 Sept. 1773.

 301 Jesse and Rachal Ide, both of Rehoboth, m. by Rev. John Greenwood 11 
 
 May 1749, Int. 15 Apr. 1749." 
 
 These are our authorities for stating that Lemuel Perin was one of the "Minute- 
 Men." 
 
 Miss Thomas quotes further from "The Ide Family": 
 
 "The Ide Family Edith Flanders Sunbar, 1931, pp. 187/8 Daniel Ide, b. 4 June 
 1701, Rehoboth, a Minute Man of Lexington, sergt. Capt. Nathaniel Carpenter's 
 co. and Isaac Burr's co. service 8 dys. His dau. Rachel, b. 2 Dec. 1730, d. 15 Aug. 
 1808 in Rehoboth, m. 11 May 1749 at Rehoboth, Jesse Perrin, Clerk of Rehoboth. 
 Children. 
 
 1. Lemuel, b. 21 Oct. 1749." 
 
 Thus, the descendants of Charles Perin and Geraldine Allison Perin had not one,

 error in copying from the original certificate.

 23, 1958, that she believed her first name was "Matt." A note of our mother's

 riage. Mr. Wilkinson says he last heard of them as Frances Gordon and May 
 Smoot (presumably their married names), both then living in Joplin, Mo.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 JAMES LA RIM ORE 
 
 james larimore was born April 16, 1759, in South Carolina, the son of 
 Samuel and Mary Larimore. He was first married to Caty Morgan, born 
 1760, married 1782, probably in North Carolina or Virginia, though no 
 record of this marriage has been found among the marriage bonds of 
 either state. However, the marriage bond files are not complete. Caty 
 Morgan Larimore died in 1815. l 
 
 James Larimore probably grew up in North Carolina, to which state 
 his parents moved when he was quite young. 2 He died Sept. 16, 1842, 
 in what is now Forsythe County, North Carolina. He was buried in 
 Bethlehem Methodist Church Cemetery near which he lived, about five 
 miles south and one and one-half miles east of Walnut Cove, N. C, and 
 about fifteen miles northeast of Winston-Salem, N. C. On his dark green 
 tombstone, about 3' tall, 15" wide and 2" thick, appears the following 
 inscription:

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 James Larimore was a resident of Henry County, Virginia, in 1790, 
 and lived there possibly until sometime in the year 1806. 
 
 In 1804, he bought land in Stokes County, North Carolina, when he 
 was described as "of the County of Henry and State of Virginia." By 
 Dec. 20, 1806, when he bought more land in Stokes County and was de- 
 scribed as "of Stokes County, North Carolina," he had evidently moved 
 from Virginia to North Carolina. 
 
 A fuller account of James Larimore's life, his Revolutionary War serv- 
 ice record as set forth in his pension application, and further information 
 on his descendants appears in the Supplement to this book on file in the 
 Brookville, Ind., Library, and in other libraries that have acquired this 
 book. 
 
 A number of descendants of the pioneer Larimores still reside in 
 Fayette County, Indiana. 
 
 1. On pages 88 through 93, James Larimore's family records are reproduced as 
 they appeared in his Bible in 1952. As the result of rough usage and passing 
 through three fires, many of the pages were loose, and the page that recorded 
 James Larimore's marriage to Caty Morgan had disappeared. Satisfactory evi- 
 dence exists, however, that James Larimore's first wife was Caty Morgan Lari- 
 more: 
 
 a. In 1927, Martha Allison Jackson of Metamora, Ind., who lived with or 
 near her mother, Catherine Adams Allison, who had possessed the Bible, 
 sent a record of the entries therein to our mother, all of which agree with 
 those shown in the photographs, except when she copied the birth date of 
 Allen V. Larimore and the language "son of James and Caty Larimore," 
 she inserted after the name "Caty" in parenthesis the word "Morgan," so 
 that it read "Caty Morgan Larimore." She also specifically gave "Caty 
 Morgan" as the name of James Larimore's first wife, born 1760, married 
 1782, died 1815, but did not give the days of the months. This would indi- 
 cate that she had written from memory, was apparently certain of the 
 years but not of the days of the months. Mrs. Jackson was in position to 
 know the facts. 
 
 1). Our mother always said that her Great Grandfather Larimore's wife was 
 Caty Morgan Larimore. 
 
 c. Another great granddaughter, Anna Adams Kehoe, writing on Jan. 8, 
 1939, regarding the fine, old Seth Thomas clock that stood on the mantle 
 in her Great Grandmother Martha Larimore Adams' home, said, "The 
 clock and a beautiful set of china had come to 'Patsy' from her mother, 
 Caty Morgan Larimore." 
 
 d. Answering an inquiry of ours on this subject, Mrs. Ethel D. Bacon wrote 
 on Dec. 13, 1957, "As to 'Caty Morgan,' I remember seeing it recorded 
 in the Bible. The name 'Caty' intrigued me, so I remembered it." 
 
 e. On page 66, Grantor Deed Book No. 7 of Henry County, Virginia, the 
 deed is recorded by which, on Nov. 24, 1806, "James Larimore and Caty, 
 his wife" sold his Henry County property to Terry Hughes.

 3. In a letter to her cousin, Anna Adams Kehoe, dated Sept. 15, 1931, our mother 
 wrote, "The oldest tombstone in Mt. Zion Churchyard west of Everton is that 
 of 'Nancy Consort of Thomas J. Larimore, Feb. 16, 1831'." She was probably a 
 daughter of John Wright of Stokes County, North Carolina, a Revolutionary 
 soldier, according to the marker over his grave near that of James Larimore.

 John Wright's will (Stokes County Deed Book 11, page 422) provided that "the 
 bodily heirs of Nancy Larimore draw the shares of their mother." 
 
 4. A marriage bond for "Morgan Larimore and Margret Right" in the files of the 
 North Carolina Historical Commission, Raleigh, is dated July 21, 1810. She 
 was another daughter of John Wright, and the above-mentioned will provided 
 that the "bodily heirs of Margaret Laramore draw the shares of their mother." 
 According to an entry in Stokes County Deed Book 19, p. 94, Jan. 29, 1857, a 
 John Ward paid $250.00 for Margaret "Laramore's" share, viz., 156 acres, and 
 the children, presumably of Morgan and Margaret Larimore, mentioned were 
 "John W. Larimore, Allen W. Larimore, Thomas Newham and his wife, Nancy 
 Newham (late Nancy Larimore) and Mary F. Miller (late Mary F. Larimore) of 
 the state of Indiana." On Jan. 23, 1832; Morgan married another wife, Martha 
 Hardy (Fayette County, Indiana, Marriage Book 8, p. 308). 
 
 5. Married a David L. Williams. 
 
 6. In the Larimore Bible, bracketed opposite the name "Daniel Marr Larimore," 
 where it is repeated lower on the page, are the names "Joseph Winston and 
 Polly Larimore, Dec. 1, 1810," possibly twin children of Daniel Marr Larimore, 
 and below his name is the entry, "George Washington Larimore, son of Daniel 
 Marr and Polly Larimore, Jan. 18, 1813." The marriage bond at the North 
 Carolina Historical Commission for Daniel M. Larimore and Polly Brooks is 
 dated Jan. 10, 1810. 
 
 7. Married Susannah Eskew March 23, 1820 (Fayette County, Indiana, Marriage 
 Book A, p. 76). His will, probated Oct., 1877, in the Fayette County, Indiana, 
 Court (Will Book C, p. 532) makes bequests to "William Larimore, Alfred B. 
 Larimore, bodily heirs of Eliza Jane Wolf, bodily heirs of May Anna Wolf now 
 deceased, Amos W. Larimore, Martha Larimore Darter, John Larimore and 
 heirs of Francis Marion Larimore." 
 
 8. Married Joseph Early Vawter, the son of Russel and Mary (Sparks) Vawter, 
 who was born in Culpepper County, Virginia, and with him moved to Kentucky. 
 
 9. Married William Barnes Adams. 
 
 10. Married Sarah Plummer Oct. 12, 1820 (Fayette County, Indiana, Marriage 
 Book A, p. 51). Our mother said that Dr. Allen V. Larimore's daughter, Mary 
 Jane, married Sylvanus R. Loper, a farmer who lived near Everton, Ind. (Fayette 
 County Marriage Book F, p. 307, records this marriage as occurring on April 
 9, 1856). 
 
 11. The names of these children were listed in Leanna Southern Larimore's appli- 
 cation for bounty land as a Revolutionary soldier's widow, but the names as they 
 appeared there were corrected on Jan. 20, 1939, by Mr. Sidney H. Reed of 
 Walnut Cove, N. C, the son of Mahala Fuel Larimore, when Mr. J. D. A. 
 Morrow visited Mr. Reed.

 ANNA BARNES ADAMS 
 AND HER HUSBAND 
 
 At this time, the name of William B. Adams' father, the husband of Anna 
 Barnes Adams, the names of his Adams grandparents and their place of 
 residence are not known. 1 William B. Adams' family Bible was de- 
 stroyed, and no other record has so far been discovered. 
 
 It seems fairly certain that some ancestor of William B. Adams left 
 
 96 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 an estate to him and his sister, Elizabeth Adams, who became the wife 
 of James Crawley. 
 
 On November 8, 1938, Anna Adams Kehoe wrote to her cousin, our 
 mother, and enclosed a letter which our mother had received from her 
 father in May, 1900. In that letter, T. B. Adams wrote, 
 
 "Your great grandfather owned in Virginia twelve hundred acres of land. 
 There were six hundred dollars turned over to a guardian for him (William B. 
 Adams). He died without knowing it. Long before his death it was turned over 
 to the Commonwealth of Virginia. I corresponded with a lawyer at the count) 
 seat of (Princess) Anne County some years ago, and we reached the same con- 
 clusion, that the land and money could not be gotten." 
 
 In 1997, T. B. Adams wrote to J. R. Crawley, a grandson of Eliza- 
 beth Adams Crawley, that the name of the man who left the estate to 
 William B. Adams and his sister was "James M. Adams." Had this been 
 the name of Anna Barnes Adams' husband, she almost certainly would 
 have known of the existence of his propertv. Therefore, it seems prob- 
 able that the James M. Adams who left the property was not the father 
 of William B. Adams and Elizabeth Adams Crawley, but their grand- 
 father or some other relative. However, to date, no record of any will by 
 a "James M. Adams" has been found in Virginia or North Carolina, 
 leaving property to a "William B. Adams" and an "Elizabeth Adams," 
 but many court records in these states are incomplete. 
 
 Another clue to the name of William B. Adams' father seemed to be 
 provided in the same letter to our mother, in which, speaking of his 
 father, William B. Adams, T. B. Adams said, 
 
 "His father, when quite a young man, was supposed to have been killed by a 
 man who was malicious toward him. He left a muster in Virginia in good health 
 on horseback for home. He was found lying in the road, the wound in his head, 
 unconscious. He died without coming to. Soon after he had started home, this 
 man followed him on horseback, but claimed he did not see him on the road 
 because he went off on another road before he came to the place where your 
 great grandfather was lying. And there was no evidence to prove that he did 
 follow him and strike the fatal blow. From this standpoint he was acquitted. 
 The widow was informed that there was nothing for her and the children." 
 
 In "Adams Family Records," published by James A. Adams in 1929 
 at Wise, Virginia, the author asks, 
 
 "Who knows anything of Adams, who was killed in Wythe 
 
 County, Virginia, while at or returning from a muster during the Revolution 
 or War of 1812? He had married Anne Barns of Princess Anne County, Vir- 
 ginia, and had two children, Anne, who married a Crawley, and William 
 Barnes. The widow removed to her relatives in Stokes County, North Carolina, 
 later going to Kentucky (error — she moved to Franklin County, Indiana), where 
 many of her descendants still reside." 
 
 From this statement, it appeared that the murder mentioned in our 
 grandfather's letter had occurred in Wythe Countv,Virginia. In 1941, 
 
 97 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 Mr. J. D. A. Morrow called on Mr. Adams, but he knew nothing more 
 than given above. 
 
 Obviously, the dates indicated, viz., the Revolution or War of 1812, 
 are incorrect. The death of Adams must have occurred 
 
 sometime in or after 1801, for this man's son, William B. Adams, was 
 born December 28, 1801. It must have been prior to the Spring of 1805, 
 for on May 4, 1805, Anna Barnes Adams bought 25 acres of land in 
 Stokes County, North Carolina, from John Ward "at the head of Huens 
 Creek."- 
 
 In 1941, Mr. J. D. A. Morrow examined the old muster rolls and bat- 
 talion courts of inquiry records at Wytheville, Va., but the pages for 
 the years from 1801-1805 had been cut out of the book years ago. What- 
 ever information they might have disclosed is now lost. Furthermore, 
 we do not positively know that James A. Adams was correct as to the 
 murder having occurred in Wythe County, Virginia. 
 
 Stokes County deed and will records show the names of several Adams 
 families living in the general neighborhood in Stokes County in which 
 Anna Barnes Adams bought this property. We found no evidence that 
 any of them were related to her husband. 
 
 The parents of Anna Barnes Adams are also unknown at this time, 
 nor do we know their place of residence or the names of the relatives 
 to be near whom she moved to Stokes County, North Carolina, nor do 
 we know from what locality she moved there. 
 
 There were so many Barnes families in the southern part of Virginia 
 and in the northern counties of North Carolina in the latter part of the 
 18th and early part of the 19th centuries, that without a more definite 
 starting point than we have had, it has not been possible to trace Anna 
 Barnes Adams' ancestry. Furthermore, for a time there seemed to be 
 some question as to whether her maiden name was "Barnes." In the 
 letter referred to above, which our grandfather wrote to our mother in 
 May, 1900, he said, 
 
 "Your grandfather on the Adams side was William B. Adams. I have heard 
 him say that the 'B' stood for 'Barnwell,' and that may be a key that will unlock 
 the history of the family." 
 
 We investigated this "Barnwell" possibility, with the following results: 
 In a letter to J. D. A. Morrow, dated December 2, 1938, Mrs. Mar- 
 garet McConnel quoted her mother, Sarah Melissa Linville Berry, a 
 granddaughter of William B. Adams, as saying: 
 
 "Grandfather Adams' mother's name was 'Barnes.' This is where he got his 
 middle name. I heard the name 'Barnes' frequently when I was a child." 
 
 After her mother's death, Sarah Melissa Linville lived for a while 
 with her Grandfather and Grandmother Adams. 
 
 Mrs. Geraldine Perin also wrote to J. D. A. Morrow that her mother, 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 Catherine Adams Allison, had told her that her grandmother's maiden 
 name was "Barnes." 
 
 Furthermore, on October 31, 1938, we wrote to Anna Adams Kehoe: 
 
 "Mother showed us an old letter of Martha Jackson's yesterday, in which she 
 (Martha Jackson) wrote that Anna Barnes' father's name was 'William Barnes'." 
 
 Martha Jackson was the daughter of Catherine Vawter Adams Allison. 
 
 Apparently, therefore, the weight of evidence indicates that she was 
 not "Anna Barnwell," but "Anna Barnes" when she married William 
 B. Adams' father. Accordingly, "Barnes" has been used in this book as 
 her maiden name and as the middle name of William B. Adams. 
 
 Anna Barnes Adams came out to Fayette County, Indiana, with her 
 daughter and her daughter's husband, James Crawley. She lived with 
 her daughter and son-in-law, but, according to letters of older mem- 
 bers of the Adams family, also spent much time in the house of her son, 
 William Barnes Adams. She died September 12, 1840, at her daughter's 
 home and is buried in Mt. Zion Cemetery two miles west and one- 
 quarter mile north of Everton, which J. D. A. Morrow visited October 
 5, 1957. On her headstone, the inscription reads: 
 
 "In Memory of Anna Adams 
 
 Born Feb. 28, 1760 
 
 Died Sept. 12, 1840" 
 
 Not far away, there is a tombstone to Wilson Adams and his wife. So 
 far as the records show, they were no relation to William Barnes Adams. 
 
 Anna Barnes Adams' son-in-law, James Crawley, was a member of 
 the Mt. Zion Methodist Church, which burned down many years ago, 
 and the old cemetery has long been uncared for. We could find no 
 record of burials. 3

 WILLIAM B. AMD MARTHA 
 LARIMORE ADAMS 
 
 william barnes adams was born December 28, 1801, in Virginia. 1 The 
 place of his birth is not known, nor the name of his father. Our mother 
 believed that possibly his grandfather was named James M. Adams. 
 Thomas B. Adams thought that his grandmother's maiden name may 
 have been Anna Barnwell, but Sarah Melissa Linville Berry, who, after 
 her mother's death spent a good deal of time with her grandparents, 
 wrote in 1938, in reply to an inquiry, 
 
 99 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 "Grandfather Adams' mother's name was 'Barnes.' There is where he got his 
 middle name. I heard the name 'Barnes' frequently when I was a child." 
 
 We accept Mrs. Berry's statement. 
 
 Some sources state that Anna Barnes was born in North Carolina, 
 while others say that she was born in Princess Anne County, Virginia. 
 Apparently, sometime between 1801 and 1805, her husband was mur- 
 dered while returning home from a muster, possibly in Wythe County, 
 Virginia. His widow, Anna Barnes Adams, then bought property in ad- 
 jacent Stokes County, North Carolina, in 1805 and moved there, where 
 she had relatives living. 
 
 In Stokes County, her son, William Barnes Adams, when sufficiently 
 grown, obtained employment on the nearby plantation of James Lari- 
 more. James Larimore had bought property in Stokes County in 1804 
 and that year or the next moved his family there from his home in Henry 
 County, Virginia. Thereafter, he added to his holdings until he seems 
 to have had an extensive plantation. 
 
 William Barnes Adams fell in love with James Larimore's blond 
 daughter, Martha, who was called "Patsy," and, in spite of James Lari- 
 more's extreme displeasure, on a June day in 1820, he married her. From 
 the records of the North Carolina Historical Commission at Raleigh, this 
 copy of their marriage bond, signed by William B. Adams, is reproduced.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 James Larimore told "Patsy," when she married William in spite of 
 his opposition, that she would get no help from him. "Patsy's" brother, 
 Morgan, had been out to Indiana, and on May 20, 1817, (Deed Book 1, 
 Grantees, Fayette County, Indiana Records) had bought the northwest 
 quarter of Section 13 in Fayette County, Indiana, and settled there. 
 This was but eight years after young John Conner, not yet 21 years old, 
 had opened his trading post in the Indian country at the location where 
 Connersville, Indiana, now stands, and Morgan's land was only a few 
 miles southeast of Conner's Post. 
 
 Southeastern Indiana, northward along the Whitewater River valley, 
 and Southwestern Ohio, up the valley of the Great Miami and its tribu- 
 taries, were being rapidly settled by a stream of pioneers from the Caro- 
 linas, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. A William Adams, in 1814 (so 
 far as known no relation to William Barnes Adams) had bought land on 
 which later the town of Everton was built. This has given rise to the 
 tradition in the family — incorrect — that William B. Adams originally 
 owned the site of Everton. 
 
 The Whitewater Valley was, and is, a beautiful country, and the 
 Larimores must have thought it full of promise. Miles H. Larimore had 
 also come out to Indiana and on March 23, 1820, married Susannah 
 Eskew in Fayette County. 2 William Barnes Adams and his wife, imme- 
 diately after their marriage, together with her brothers Thomas J., 
 Hughes Green, Allen V., her sister Nancy, William B. Adams' mother, 
 Anna Barnes Adams, his sister, Anne Elizabeth Adams Crawley, and 
 her husband, James, all moved out to Fayette County. They may not 
 all have come in 1820 with William and Martha, but several came then 
 and the others soon followed. Fayette County Deed Book 1 records land 
 purchases in southern Fayette County near Morgan's quarter section by 
 Thomas J. in 1821, 1822 and 1831; Hughes Green in 1822, 1823, 1827, 
 1831, 1832 and 1833; Miles H. in 1828 and 1831; Allen V. in 1832, 1835 
 and 1840; and later by Alfred B. in 1848 and Elijah Larimore in 1851, 
 sons of some of the earlier arrivals. 
 
 Frederick Irving Barrows, in his "History of Fayette County" pub- 
 lished in 1917 by B. F. Bowen & Co., Indianapolis, stated that "the first 
 persons to whom the County Commissioners granted a license to carry 
 on business (in Everton) were Thomas J. and Miles H. Larrimore, Mer- 
 chants, in 1828." On Page 254, he says that the village of Alquina was 
 named by "Green Larimore." This was Hughes Green Larimore, who 
 was the "H. G. Larrimore" that was "given a license to sell merchandise" 
 there in January of 1831. 
 
 William B. Adams had little money. He must have spent the next few 
 years working at what he could find to do while he accumulated enough 
 to make his own start. In Deed Book 1, Grantees, page 2, it is recorded 
 that on January 20, 1826, he leased 80 acres of land from the School 
 Trustees. It was the west half of the northwest quarter of Section 16 in 
 
 101 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 Township 13 in Fayette County west of Everton, Indiana. Where he and 
 his wife and their first children lived in those earlier years the writers 
 do not know, but our grandfather, T. B. Adams, said his parents settled 
 on Wilson's Creek when they came to Indiana and that he was born on 
 the lease there. Apparently, by some less formal arrangement, William 
 B. Adams had located on this land that in 1826 he leased. On January 10, 
 1834, he bought 44 acres from John Baker and his wife in Section 19 of 
 Township 13, but probably continued to live on his leasehold. In 1838, 
 he chose what he thought was a more promising location, and on Sep- 
 tember 10th sold his property to Elisha Williams. He then bought the 
 farm of Charles Melone, brother of John Melone, on Saines Creek, about 
 four miles west of Laurel, Indiana, in Franklin County, and moved his 
 family a few miles to the new home. Most of the farm was still covered 
 with magnificent virgin trees of oak, beech, ash, maple, walnut, cherry, 
 and yellow poplar, many of them four to six feet in diameter, tall, 
 straight, and clean. 
 
 There William Barnes Adams, his wife and family developed a plan- 
 tation that even under the Indiana conditions of a century ago far sur- 
 passed their memories of the Carolina plantation of their youth. There 
 was a log cabin on the place that for a time was their dwelling. It con- 
 tained two rooms downstairs and a second story loft that was a sleeping 
 place. But presently William B. Adams built his family a new house to 
 the north of the old cabin. It stood on the hillslope on the eastern side 
 of Saines Creek Valley and looked westward across a quarter mile of 
 cleared Creek bottom to the wooded banks that marked the western 
 side of the valley. He moved the old log cabin up and attached it at one 
 end to the back of the new house to serve as a kitchen and dining room. 
 On both the north and south sides of this old cabin he built porches, 
 "galleries" the family called them, where on summer days, shaded by 
 grapevines, they ate their meals. At the front of the house he built a 
 small entrance porch, which they called a "portico," from which a 
 flagged walk ran west across the yard to stone steps that led down 
 through a stone wall, built with its top level with the grass of the lawn, 
 all across the front to hold the yard on the hill slope, across a wide 
 country road to a gate that opened into the garden. At either side of the 
 steps he planted a fir tree. Today, more than a hundred years later, two 
 giants, they guard the old house. At the top of the steps on the left is a 
 stone a foot and a half through, round as a cannonball, one of the 
 300,000,000-year-old "concretions' that occur in a belt from there to 
 Lake Erie, that James Adams found somewhere and put there when he 
 returned from the Civil War as his "monument." On the right is an even 
 larger "pudding stone" that his brother Dailey Adams placed there to 
 balance off the round stone on the other side. 
 
 William Barnes Adams and his sons cleared more ground and planted 
 crops. But soon they put two dams across Saines Creek and impounded 
 
 102 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 its waters. Southeast of the house a quarter mile or so, they built a saw- 
 mill and conducted the waters of Saines Creek from the dams to a 
 waterwheel at the mill to furnish the power to move the log carriages 
 and turn the saws. The mill race followed the east side of the valley 
 west of the road and back of the garden. After the sawmill was in op- 
 eration, as they cleared more land for cultivation, the fine timber was 
 sawed into lumber and sold. 
 
 The road in front of the house followed the curve of the valley side 
 around southeast to the mill, turned southwest across a bridge over the 
 mill race to a ford across the flat limestone bottom of Saines Creek, then 
 turned left up the valley slope to the south, where in a few years T. B. 
 Adams built his house, on south to the home of William D. Linville, 
 who had married William B. Adams' daughter, Mary, in 1841, and on 
 south up and down over seven more hills seven miles to the home to 
 which James Dow Allison, husband of another daughter, Catherine 
 Adams, took her when they were married in 1848. Another branch of 
 the road followed Saines Creek down to Laurel. 
 
 Doubtless one of the chief reasons that influenced William B. Adams 
 to move from Everton to Saines Creek was to utilize the Whitewater 
 Canal. The Internal Improvement Act of 1836 provided for the building 
 of this canal from the Ohio River at Lawrenceburg, Indiana, north along 
 the Whitewater River to the crossing of its West Fork by the great 
 "National Road" at Cambridge City, Indiana, about sixteen miles west 
 of Richmond and farther north, eventually to Hagerstown. This was 
 the new federal highway that would traverse Maryland, Pennsylvania, 
 Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois from Baltimore to St. Louis, U. S. Route 40 
 today. A branch of the canal extended up the Ohio to Cincinnati. 
 
 Construction began at the south end and proceeded northward. In 
 turn, Brookville, Metamora, Laurel and Connersville was the head of 
 navigation on the canal as it was completed north to Cambridge City. 
 Its construction created great enthusiasm and excitement in the country 
 and it is recorded that when the first spadeful of earth was turned for 
 the basin at Cambridge City, the crowd was regaled from barrels of 
 whiskey, the heads opened and tin cups hung around them on nails for 
 everyone to help himself as he pleased. The old aqueduct on this canal 
 at Metamora is still standing and for miles along the side of the river 
 valley, water still fills the old channel, though navigation was abandoned 
 about the end of the Civil War. 
 
 The part that old canal played in the economic and social develop- 
 ment in Southeastern Indiana is difficult at this time to appreciate, but 
 the "Indiana American" of February 28, 1840, printed in Brookville 
 since 1824, published amid the excitement of the "Hard Cider" cam- 
 paign that filled its pages, an item of local news that gives an under- 
 standing glimpse of the canal's place in that country in a long gone time 
 and way of life. It chronicled the inauguration of passenger service on 
 
 103 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 the canal by the canal boats "Native" and "Franklin." One or the other 
 left Brookville each evening at 6:00 and arrived at Lawrenceburg on the 
 Ohio River the next morning in time for the passengers to take the 
 steamboat "Indiana" at 7:30 A.M., which landed them at Cincinnati at 
 10:00 A.M. There they enjoyed the business hours of the day until 3:00 
 o'clock, when the steamer left Cincinnati and reached Lawrenceburg 
 at 5:30 P.M. The canal boat left immediately and was in Brookville early 
 the next morning. Thus the trip required but two nights and one day. 
 Round-trip expenses were estimated as follows: 
 
 Passage and board on boats $4.00 
 
 Dinner at Cincinnati 50 
 
 One day lost (worth) 1.00 
 
 Whole expense by boat $5.50 
 
 On the other hand, said the "American," the stage coach ran tri- 
 weekly and arrived in Cincinnati late in the evening and left early in 
 the morning. Thus four days and three nights were required for the trip 
 by stage coach and the expenses were as follows: 
 
 Passage on the coach, there and back $ 6.00 
 
 Dinner on road going and returning .75 
 
 Fare at ordinary respectable house in the city, 
 
 three nights and two days 5.00 
 
 Four days lost (worth) 4.00 
 
 Whole expense by stage coach $15.75 
 
 Difference in favor of the canal route $10.25 
 
 Today, over the smooth highways of Indiana and Ohio, that trip is 
 made in a motor car in an hour. 
 
 It is easy to understand that William B. Adams, an intelligent, am- 
 bitious man, determined to make his fortune in that new land, might 
 well wish to live where he could develop a part of the country and use 
 that waterway to reach markets in which to sell his products and buy 
 his goods to better advantage. In effect, the canal could put him into the 
 western metropolis of Cincinnati while otherwise he would be limited 
 to a little Indiana town isolated among its wooded hills. 
 
 His plan was simple but practical. He bought the virgin timbered 
 acres around him, felled the trees, ran the logs through his sawmill, sold 
 the lumber and had the land in his possession. Gradually cleared, it pro- 
 vided him and his sons farm land and in time he saw his children settled 
 about him on these farms, thus acquired and made valuable. 
 
 Immediately William B. Adams moved to make the most of his new 
 location by establishing credit with Cincinnati merchants, arranging for 
 his lumber and other products to be consigned to agents there who also 
 more or less became his bankers.

 In the spring of 1839, he was shopping there. What all he bought 
 on that journey the fragments of his accounts that have survived do not 
 show, but from Woodnutt, Taylor & Co., wholesale dry goods merchants, 
 he bought goods for which he gave in part payment his promissory note 
 for $318.62, due in six months. Cash was scarce and houses doing busi- 
 ness with the settlers of the country had to extend lengthy credits, and 
 probably it was well understood that the note would be paid little by 
 little as it could be done. Back and face of that old note are covered with 
 endorsements recording partial payments of principal and interest and 
 not till June 13, 1849, did William B. Adams make a final payment of 
 $99.50 on this note. 
 
 Almost certainly, in addition to purchases of furnishings for his new 
 home, still greater amounts were spent for the sawmill, for tools and 
 equipment for the place, and so it continued. Here is a receipted bill for: 
 
 ; "1 Cradle scythe $1.50 
 
 ... 1 Cow bell 1.25 
 
 2 Padlocks, 75<£ each 1.50 
 
 $4.25" 
 
 From Shoup, Van Bergen & Co. in 1843 his accounts show him buying 
 liy 2 lbs. of %-inch round iron at 6^ per lb., 8 balls of cotton yarn at 220 
 each and 11 balls at 18 %0 each, 5 yards of calico at 15^ per yard and 
 1/4 yards of black muslin for 190, and a ball of twine. 
 
 Another purchase that might seem surprising is one of 25 bushels of 
 "Youghiogheny Coal." Why would William B. Adams, in June of 1852 
 be buying a ton of coal that had floated all the way down the Youghio- 
 gheny, the Monongahela, and the Ohio from some mine above Pitts- 
 burgh? He and all his neighbors burned wood. Our mother said that 
 it was for his blacksmith shop. This would be correct. He needed low 
 sulphur coking coal, "blacksmith coal," for the forge in his blacksmith 
 shop. 
 
 A receipt appears for $1.00 for his subscription on May 4, 1852, for 
 the "Cincinnati Weekly Gazette" He subscribed for that paper to the 
 end of his life, and on the day it reached Laurel he always went into 
 the Post Office there to get his copy and keep his family and himself 
 abreast of the news of the world. During the Civil War, when his son, 
 James, was in the Union Army, he took the "Daily Gazette" and fre- 
 quently drove to Rushville, ten miles away, for additional news. 
 
 Of these trips of his, his ninety-year-old granddaughter, Mrs. Sarah 
 Melissa Linville Berry, wrote us: 
 
 "I remember Grandfather Adams driving to Laurel to get his paper during 
 the Civil War. He prided himself on the short time it took him to drive there 
 and back. The horse was iron gray and his name was Alee. He did not read any 
 in the paper until his return home. I never remember anyone else driving Alec. 
 He was a fast-gaited horse. He drove this horse everywhere he went." 
 
 105 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 But he also made arrangements in Cincinnati for marketing what he 
 had to sell, and among the credits on his accounts appear wheat, apples, 
 honey, potatoes, bacon, eggs, butter, lumber, feathers, lumber and more 
 lumber. Many receipts appear for payment of freight to canal boats that 
 transported this lumber, such as the following: 
 
 "Laurel, September 15, 1855. 
 "Received of W. B. Adams, Sixty-four Dollars, being the amount of freight on 
 a load of lumber shipped to Cincinnati on canal boat, 'Cedar Grove'." 
 
 "J. W. Ewing" 
 Or the following: 
 
 "Cin., April 16/55 
 "Received of Hugh Morgan, Twenty-six Dollars and Seventeen Cents, in full 
 for freight of 9,518 ft. of lumber brought by the 'General Taylor' for Wm. B. 
 Adams at $2.75 per 1,000." 
 
 "Harry L. Juice" 
 
 Evidently by this time his business relations with Hugh Morgan 3 had 
 been well established, for in the Spring of 1853, Mr. Morgan wrote him 
 as follows: 
 
 "Cincinnati April 7, 1853 
 "Mr. Adams, 
 
 "Sir I reed, your letter this day & I hasten to reply to the same if your inch 
 poplar bords are better than the last lot I bot from you I will give you $13.00 
 per Thousand ft. if they are dry and in good order delivered in Cincinnati. If 
 you think proper to take up my proposition you can draw on me for two hun- 
 dred dollars on or after the First of May next. I have the plesure to inform you 
 we are all well. Hoping these few lines will find you and yours the same. Yours 
 in much haste.

 William B. and Martha Larimore Adams and their family were indus- 
 trious, energetic, intelligent and thrifty people, and over the years they 
 sold more than they bought. Thus in 1855, writing to his brother-in-law, 
 Joseph Vawter, a letter which for some reason was not finished, he 
 could say:

 By that time, seventeen years after he had moved to the place on 
 Saines Creek, he could feel pleased with his accomplishments. His home 
 there is described by Mrs. Anna Adams Kehoe, his granddaughter, as

 she remembers it a few years later, so well that her letter is included 
 here for the benefit of members of the family who would now see only 
 the remnants of what it then embraced. 
 
 "Clay City, Indiana 
 Sept. 20, 1938 
 Dear Cousin: — 
 
 When I can first begin to remember the old home there was every evidence 
 of the thrift and prosperity of those who had established themselves there in 
 1838. Grandfather and Grandmother had a family of seven when they located 
 there. Two more were born afterward. They had been married only eighteen 
 years but it seemed that they had worked together to make the most of their 
 opportunities. Not only did he have, as he said in that letter written in 1855, 
 a good house and barn, but he had also a good water mill that was doing a thriv- 
 ing business. Every field and pasture was fenced with hand split rails. The 
 garden which was directly in front of the house across the road was fenced in 
 front facing the house with pickets and on the other three sides with a high 
 board fence, the boards perpendicular. Directly through it from the gate the 
 length of the garden ran a walk, on each side of which was a border of current 
 bushes, lilacs and roses. Along the north side against the fence was placed the 
 hot beds and cold frames. The garden must have consisted of about one acre. 
 There were a few steps down from the road on entering the garden. This made 
 a bank on that side. Here were lilies and roses and many pot herbs and plants 
 that were used by Grandmother as remedies for the ills of the family. When a 
 child I thought what Grandmother could not cure was surely incurable. 
 
 Around the garden just outside the fence was the mill race which carried the 
 water supply to operate the mill. The road that ran in front of the house was the 
 original road to Laurel, following the Creek all the way. This was still open 
 when I left home, but has been abandoned and permitted to become over- 
 grown. 
 
 On the hillside back of the house was a large orchard, always spoken of as the 
 "old orchard," for there was a younger orchard on the south of the house 
 already in full bearing. There were many pits in the old orchard where apples 
 were stored for winter use. There was a house on the hillside for drying fruit of 
 all kinds, a cave for winter storage, a large ice house and still farther back the 
 chicken houses. 
 
 And I must not forget to tell you of the ash hoppers where lye was made for 
 soap making. There also were the kettles for boiling the soap. And a sturdy 
 horizontal bar on which to hang the hogs at butchering time, room for a dozen 
 or more hogs. 
 
 107 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 One day when I was a child I discovered a piece of timber, 2 x 8, that had 
 been placed in a walnut tree. An opening had been chiseled through the tree 
 to admit the timber. I went at once to my father for an explanation. He told me 
 that it was where grandmother had her cheese press. I suppose after it was no 
 longer used the timber had been sawed off even with the tree. The tree is still 
 standing and when I was there this summer I went to look at it and found the 
 scar was still showing. 
 
 At the well was the milk house with a roof projecting over the well. There 
 was nothing these two people had not taken advantage of that would add to 
 their better living and to the beauty of the place. The large evergreens that 
 stand on each side of the walks as you enter were planted by them. No doubt 
 they have been standing almost 100 years. 
 
 I have not mentioned the sugar camp where many gallons of maple syrup 
 were made and many pounds of maple sugar were molded and stored for later 
 use. And even in my early recollection there were many wild berries, grapes, 
 plums, crab apples and haws, both red and black. It was all like a beautiful 
 dream to me as it slowly took hold of my childish mind. The circuitous paths 
 among the hills always bringing me up to something I must run to grandmother 
 to explain. 
 
 When I was permitted to go about the barn there was still more to see and 
 learn. On the north side were stables for the oxen, 10 or 12 of them. On the 
 south side and through the center the horses and mules. The corn crib the full 
 width of the building stored with corn. Between it and the center stalls a long 
 shed for wagons. There were great deep bins with tight covers for wheat. An 
 open space in the floored part for driving in with hay and for the storage of 
 buggies and machinery. Outside on the west, was another shed where the heavy 
 log-wagons were always kept. The frame of the barn today is just the same — 
 all of hand-hewn timber, and just as Grandfather constructed it. It has been 
 re-roofed and re-sided and a silo built. When their children began to marry and 
 build their homes about them, their cup of happiness must have been full to 
 overflowing. 
 
 Uncle Thomas, your Grandfather, built a nice three room cottage on the hill 
 south of Grandfather's. There his children were born and, when his home was 
 broken up, my Father and Mother married and went to housekeeping in this 
 house. Two of their children were born there. Six weeks before I was born, they 
 exchanged places with Grandfather. He was growing old, six of his children 
 were married and death had taken some of them. So they no longer cared to 
 keep up the larger place. It is then in this cottage I see my grandparents, 
 Grandfather at his desk beside the huge fireplace, Grandmother knitting or 
 mending at the other side. Sometimes I would be with them for a week and, if the 
 weather was cold, they permitted me to have my playthings near the fireplace 
 on the floor. More often, though, I see my Grandmother in the kitchen preparing 
 a meal, and her fried chicken was just the best ever. Ask your Mother if it 
 is not so. 
 
 This little home, too, showed signs of thrift and the thought of the future your 
 Grandfather had when he laid it out and planted. There was a grand view from 
 this hill. Even yet when I stand there it is beautiful to me, for I see it not as it is 
 but as it was. And because I knew that although you had visited the place you 
 could not see it as it had been, I have written this letter so that it may help you 
 envision it. 
 
 At the foot of the hill Grandfather had built a house for Aunt Nancy. It was 
 a picturesque place nestling against the hill, with the stream flowing in front. 
 I shall never forget the springhouse and the path that led to it. Aunt Nancy died 
 before I was born, but I knew the place when Uncle Davis lived there with his 
 second wife. The road from the house on the hill ran down to the stream and 
 
 108 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 along the side of it for a way, then crossed it, and up a little incline to the bridge 
 across the race, and turn and a few more yards brought one to the old home. 
 Still higher on the hill above where Uncle Thomas lived was the home of Aunt 
 Mary Linville. To the northeast of the house, following a path that led through 
 the orchard was the house that was built for Uncle James. Still farther east on 
 the hill road to Laurel was the house of Uncle John. Yes, they were all about 
 him, as he said in the letter. It is all so dear to me I could write on and on 
 about it, but I will spare you that. 
 
 (Signed) Ann Adams Kehoe" 
 
 Of the place as it then was, our Mother wrote: 
 
 "When Uncle James came home from the Civil War, he thought a picket 
 fence on the stone wall would be a great advantage and he built one and he 
 put the big round boulder in the yard and called it his monument. There was 
 also a picket fence all around the garden and a gate just across from the yard 
 gate. The tall fence was needed because there was always a melon patch there 
 and the melons were very tempting to the passing public. The muskmelons per- 
 fumed the air all over the place. Someone had to sleep in a shelter there during 
 the ripe season and even then some were stolen. My father and I selected the 
 seed from Vicks catalog and kept a record of the best ones." 
 
 Mrs. Sarah Melissa Linville Berry adds this note to the above: 
 
 "Uncle Dailey took me up in the orchard when I was there in the summer of 
 1889. There was very little of it left, but there was a fine new orchard of which 
 he was very proud. The old orchard was our playground when we were chil- 
 dren. Mary Adams Michener and I were nearer in age and we were often to- 
 gether at Grandmother's. We went with her to pick apples and she showed me 
 a tree of Winesaps and told me it was my mother's favorite apple. The garden 
 and orchard are associated with my early recollections of Grandmother. I was 
 so often with her in both places." 
 
 But William B. Adams was a deeply religious man and was as much 
 concerned with the cultural and spiritual as with the material needs of 
 his family. Early in 1841, three years after he had moved to the Saines 
 Creek farm, he was joining with neighbors to arrange for the erection 
 of a church a mile and a quarter farther up the creek road, northwest 
 above his home. They obtained the necessary ground, as shown by the 
 following quotation from a deed made by Buckley C. Harris and his 
 wife, Lorinda Harris: 
 
 "Of the County of Fayette and State of Indiana to John Linville, Alexander 
 Carrol, Josiah Springer, Isaac Smith, William B. Adams, Trustees of the Sains 
 Creek Class of the Methodist Episcopal Church of the County and State afore- 
 said, for $1.00 in hand paid for the use or purpose of erecting a building or 
 house of worship for the benefit of the aforesaid church, a part of the west half 
 of the N.W. quarter of Sect. 36 in Tp. 13 and Range No. 11, in the District of 
 Brookville, parcel containing 56 square rods." 4 
 
 The construction of the church was provided for under the following 
 agreement, sent to us December 2, 1938, by John Linville's grand- 
 daughter, Sarah Melissa Linville Berry, who wrote that she had copied 
 it from a printing by the "Laurel Review" sometime in 1919:

 Mrs. Sarah Melissa Linville Berry, of Windsor, Missouri, a grand- 
 daughter of William B. Adams, wrote under date of November 28, 1938: 
 
 "The John Linville who signed this agreement was my grandfather, the father 
 of William D. Linville (who married Mary A. Adams). Sneathen Violett later 
 married Mary Linville, a sister of William D. Linville." 
 
 After some years, according to Mrs. Berry, a Rev. Honiaday held a 
 revival during which a new congregation was formed. 
 Her letter says: 
 
 "He held a revival in the grove above where Aunt Nancy's home was built, 
 opposite Uncle Thomas's house. Grandfather Adams furnished the lumber for 
 seats and pulpit in the grove during that revival, which I attended. I saw 
 Grandmother Adams, Uncle Dailey, sisters Martha and Margaret Linville, who 
 was quite young, and others baptized by immersion in the creek in front of 
 where Aunt Nancy's house was built. The congregation was there organized 
 (nicknamed 'New Lights'), and the church that you call the present Saines 
 Creek Church was built. Grandfather John Linville (a Methodist circuit rider) 
 joined with this congregation organized by Rev. Hornaday and continued 
 preaching for that faith. There was another congregation in Laurel and my 
 grandfather moved there and preached there until his health failed and we 
 brought him back to our home, W. D. Linville's home." 6 
 
 Commenting on the letter, our mother wrote: 
 
 "I remember this meeting in the grove very clearly to this day. I saw all the 
 family there but saw none of the baptizing until the Minister put a black robe 
 on Grandmother Adams. My father held me up in his arms so that I saw her led 
 into the water, and when the Minister put her under the water that was too 
 much for me and I fainted. (I was only about four years old at the time.) Father 
 took me away and got some water and revived me. I have wondered many times 
 where this meeting was held and now this clears up the vivid memory of the 
 big crowd and her baptism. Many thanks for this item."

 When W. D. Linville's wife, Martha Adams Linville, died in 1855, he 
 wanted Reverend Hornaday to preach the funeral sermon in the Saines 
 Creek Methodist Church. Various members of the congregation re- 
 fused and said 
 
 "he could not even come inside the Church. So serious were their objections 
 that the funeral services were conducted at the home. The community was 
 wrought up, angry, indignant that a family in sorrow should be so incon- 
 venienced/' 7 
 
 The result was a determination to build a new church, where wor- 
 ship could be free. 
 
 Alexander Matney and his wife, Metilda, on March 31, 1860, donated 
 to the Trustees, Lewis Johnson, William P. Woodward, Sion Fortner, 
 John Winchel, and William B. Adams, Trustees and their successors in 
 office: 
 
 "for the site to build a church free for all religious denominations, the fol- 
 lowing real estate in Fayette County in the State of Indiana commencing at a 
 corner on the east of the creek in the center of the old road as described in deed 
 from John Linville to E. P. Linville and thence east ten and one-half rods, 
 thence south four rods, thence west ten and one-half rods, then north four rods 
 to place of beginning, containing 42 rods, part of Sec. 36, Tp. 13, Range 11, 
 to be used exclusively for religious purposes." 8 
 
 The new congregation felt it desirable to make their action and the 
 reasons for it quite clear to their contemporaries and to their des- 
 cendants. Accordingly, they drew up and signed the following note- 
 worthy statement, a local Declaration of Religious Independence: 
 
 "THE POSITION OF THE CHURCH OF GOD 
 ON SAIN'S CREEK DEFINED. 
 
 "The undersigned disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ on Sain's Creek, in the 
 County of Franklin and the State of Indiana, believing it to be the duty to unite 
 together as a church of God, that they may maintain public worship and keep 
 the ordinances of the Gospel as enjoined upon all Christians by the great head 
 of the Church, in deference to their fellow citizens, do hereby define their eccle- 
 siastical position: We adopt the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as 
 the only authorized standard of faith and practice, regarding all others as not 
 only unnecessary, but tyranical and schismatic. We regard all human creeds and 
 all ecclesiastical legislation as usurpations of authority over the minds of men, 
 originating in the spirit of popery. Such authority never was delegated to any 
 man or any ecclesiastical council, and the exercise of it is the fruitful cause of 
 all errors and dissensions now distracting the Christian Community. We there- 
 fore turn from all such things, and from all sects and parties held together by 
 the doctrines and commandments of men. We take our stand on the Bible with 
 a determination to labor together for the restoration of the Gospel to its primi- 
 tive authority. We will contend for the faith once delivered to the Saints in 
 words and phrases in which it is expressed, and not by the words of man's wis- 
 dom. We will endeavor to confine our faith and (so far as a literal construction 
 of the word does not make a contradiction or make a manifest absurdity), 
 knowledge to the exact words of inspiration, and reject all articles of faith or 
 rules of practice built in inferences or implications. We will ask no man to 
 
 111 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 believe anything not explicitly declared in the Bible. And we solemnly pledge 
 ourselves to each other and all who hereafter unite with us that we will main- 
 tain inviolate the right of private judgment and the liberty of speech. We be- 
 lieve that every man has an inherent right to think for himself, and though we 
 may differ in our doctrinal views, that difference is no ban to union and fellow- 
 ship, which should depend not on unity of opinion, but upon good Christian 
 Character. So long then as our brethren keep the Commandments of God we 
 consider ourselves bound to fellowship with them. We discard and repudiate 
 for the Church all names unknown to the New Testament. We acknowledge no 
 man as our leader or oracle — and no foreign jurisdiction whatever on matters of 
 Church government. Relying upon the soundness of these principles and the 
 righteousness of our cause, we commit ourselves to the protection and guidance 
 of the Captain of our Salvation, working His blessing upon our humble efforts 
 to serve Him and glorify His name. 
 
 "Adopted by the following brethren at a meeting held on Sain's Creek on the 
 30th. day of May 1860. 
 
 "Members of the Church of God at the Christian Tabernacle on Sain's Creek,

 The Church then erected still stands and is the present Saines Creek 
 Church. The older church that stood one-quarter mile to the northwest 
 near the creek fell into ruins years ago, and in 1938, grass and weeds 
 were growing rank above its rotting timbers. 
 
 Our mother, who visited often with her grandparents when a girl, 
 recalls of those days that it seemed to her that nearly every Sunday after 
 church, the preacher and a large part of the congregation came to "Uncle 
 Billy Adams' place" for Sunday dinner, and that during dinner and after- 
 ward the men engaged in long religious discussions, while the women 
 and the children kept silent. 
 
 No pictures of William B. Adams nor of his wife have come to light. 
 Our mother believed that neither of them ever had any pictures taken. 
 Thus we must rely upon descriptions and characterizations of them by 
 those who knew them to portray them to their descendants. 
 
 Evidently young William B. Adams, with his reddish hair and bright 
 blue eyes," must have been an unusually decisive and determined youth. 
 
 112 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 hot-headed, too, no doubt, for to the end he had a temper. At any rate, 
 when he was not yet twenty, he unhesitatingly and promptly married 
 the girl he wanted for his wife in the face of opposition from the hardy 
 old Revolutionary War veteran who was her father, and soon was off 
 with her to the wilds of Indiana to build a life together with little but 
 their own strength and courage for resources. 
 
 Our mother said that she remembered her Grandfather Adams quite 
 well, a heavy, stocky man with white hair and sideburns, of the type 
 Horace Greeley wore. She once called our attention to a two-cent post- 
 age stamp with a picture of President John Adams' face in profile and 
 wrote, 
 
 'This picture looks enough like my Grandfather to have been taken of him. He 
 wore his hair long at the back, but not in a que." 
 (From Mrs. R. E. Morrow's letter.)

 She said his son, John Fletcher, whose picture appears on Page 11, 
 looked more like him than any of his other children. He was a dignified, 
 austere and determined man, and it was the saying in the country side 
 that when he sat on a jury and made up his mind, he was immovable. 
 Lillie Adams Christy said of her grandfather, 
 
 "He was about 5' 10" tall, rather a large man and heavy, high, square 
 shoulders and short neck, square forehead, a heavy head of hair and rather 
 large and square teeth. He had extremely small hands and feet for a man of this 
 size, and his fingers were beautifully tapered. He always wore dove-colored 
 broadcloth suits. Being a minister, on 'state occasions,' he wore a 'plug' hat. He 
 was very dignified and stern, though he was always kindness itself to us chil- 
 dren. He was a great lover of animals and birds. Often when I was riding with 
 him, I have seen him drive out of his way to avoid causing a cow to get up, that 
 was lying down in the road. 
 
 "I recall a pair of song sparrows he used to feed when he was at his meals 
 on a side, north porch shaded by an old grapevine in which these song sparrows 
 nested." 
 
 Mrs. Anna Adams Kehoe wrote her recollection of her grandfather 
 in the following paragraph: 
 
 113 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 "I remember my grandfather quite well, although I was but six when he 
 died. I recall his death and can see the expression on my father's face yet as he 
 lifted my brother, Frank, and me so we might look at grandfather for the last 
 time. He wore a beard like Horace Greeley. In his outward appearance he was 
 stern, but to me he was all kindness. I feel sure he told me of the murder of his 
 father, for I had always seemed to have that lurking in the back of my mind, 
 and when I learned from your mother it was true, the details were much the 
 same." 
 
 In another letter she said that, while to older people he was stern and 
 authoritative, with her he was always kind and understanding, and 
 when she was five or six years old, he let her play with his hourglass 
 and the seal he used on his letters. 
 
 Of her Grandfather Adams, Mrs. Berry wrote: 
 
 "Grandfather was as kind and good to us, in his way, as was grandmother. 
 Seemed to enjoy his grandchildren. I remember one incident clearly, in the old 
 home. Sister Martha was staying with them and I was there with her. Grand- 
 father was very punctual about his meals. He was reading by the fire and 
 Martha and I were in another room, each wrapped in a comforter for warmth, 
 sitting in rocking chairs. Grandfather came to the door and announced it was 
 dinner time, meaning time for us to get the dinner. We told him we were not 
 able to get the dinner and I never heard him laugh so heartily as he did then. 
 
 "Grandfather must have been a Minister. He spoke in public, at funerals, 
 held family prayers, returned thanks at his table. He taught his children at 
 home, discussed what they read and studied in the living room at night, circling 
 a table. We children played on the floor around the fire. All were educated 
 people. I went to my first school to Aunt Nancy. She did not teach long, was 
 rather frail, as also was Aunt Sarah, were both slender, with small hands and 
 feet. Their hands were especially beautiful. The family, both men and women, 
 had small feet and hands, well shaped with tapering fingers. 
 
 "As I remember Grandfather Adams he was smooth shaven, wore no beard 
 as I remember him last. But I never saw him after I was 18 years of age and 
 went to Illinois. Uncle Thomas Adams wore a beard, as I remember him at that 
 time." 
 
 Mrs. Anna Adams Kehoe has given the following description of 
 Martha Larimore Adams: 
 
 "You ask for my impression of Grandmother Adams. She was all gentleness 
 with her grandchildren. No kisses or caresses, just kind, all attention when we 
 spoke. There was a quiet dignity about her and at times a bit of sarcasm with 
 her own children, but never with her grandchildren. She had a rather long face 
 and high cheek bones. Of her children your grandfather resembled her most. 
 Her eyes were blue and at one time her hair had been a golden blond, but 
 always in my recollection it was snowy white. She always wore white lace caps 
 with a frill about her face. The caps came down to the neck and covered her 
 ears. She was slightly below medium height and carried herself erect. She 
 instilled in me a love for nature and taught me the names of many wild flowers. 
 A few years ago I set aside a place in my grounds for wild flowers and many of 
 them I have brought from the hills of Franklin County and with them memories 
 of grandmother." 
 
 Mrs. Kehoe's sister, Lillie Adams Christy, described her grandmother 
 much as Mrs. Kehoe did, but adds:

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 "She wore glasses always. She showed me a piece of her wedding dress, the 
 goods of which she spun and wove herself from cotton grown on her father's 
 plantation. The cloth was not plain, but had a raised stripe running through it, 
 very pretty." 
 
 Our mother described her Grandmother Adams as follows: 
 
 "My Grandmother Adams was a little woman (a few inches taller than I 
 am), with enough energy for two or three persons of her size, very brisk in her 
 movements. Must have been a very pretty young lady, with blond curly hair — 
 that was covered with a white net and lace cap as soon as she was married (that 
 was the order of the day at that time — married ladies must wear caps). I re- 
 member how the little blond grayish curls would escape at the back of her neck 
 from under that cap. She had the sense of humor that we all seem to have in- 
 herited, not so impressed with the solemnity of life as grandfather. He believed 
 in Hell Fire and Damnation, but I am sure Grandmother did not. Everybody 
 loved her and came to her for help in time of sickness. I suppose she was present 
 at the birth of every child born within a radius of ten miles and also at the 
 deaths in the same families. At her funeral, one woman said, 'Good old Patsy, 
 there is no one like her.' 
 
 "She knew all the medical plants and their uses and always had a big supply 
 of medicines in her china closet. I remember the beautiful glass jars in which 
 they were kept, and the wicker-covered demijohns filled with choice brandy, 
 whiskey and wine. Two of her brothers were doctors and they had taught her 
 how to use them. 
 
 "How did she dress? Her favorite dresses were lavender prints, always made 
 in the same style with little capes, and her Sunday dresses were black with 
 white capes or fichu and a big white apron while she helped serve a grand din- 
 ner. That was hospitality and she was a famous cook. No one ever refused an 
 invitation to her dinners. Tables were put out on the porches — galleries, they 
 were called. Children ate out in the yard or on the front porch or any place, 
 and missed all the sermon conversation at the big tables. The elder folk had 
 profound arguments on religion but women were silent. Sometimes I wondered 
 why grandmother or Aunt Katharine kept quiet when they both had opinions 
 of their own. Suppose it was due to that old order of St. Paul, 'Let the women 
 keep silent'. She used good English, too, very rarely a Southern expression. 
 Once I heard her say a 'passle' for 'several.' But she always said of her good 
 friends, 'They belong to the gentry,' others were outsiders — but she helped 
 them anyway." 
 
 Commenting on the above, Mrs. Berry wrote: 
 
 "Your mother, Martha Adams Morrow, describes Grandmother Adams more 
 accurately than does Anna Adams Kehoe. I can remember when her hair was 
 not gray. She told me about her sister Milly. She called me in out of a rain- 
 storm and explained I must never stand under a tree during a thunderstorm, 
 saying she and her sister Milly were playing in the yard and ran under a tree 
 for protection. A bolt of lightning killed her sister who was nearest the body of 
 the tree. Grandmother was stunned and was carried into the house and re- 
 suscitated. I do not know where this happened but when they were children. 
 Grandmother Adams and her daughters taught us to be courteous, polite, how 
 to conduct ourselves both in public and private. Grandmother was of the gentry 
 herself and taught us what it meant to be of such. She was never cross with us 
 or impatient, and I never remember her ever becoming upset over anything. 
 She was always gentle and serene. The teachings I received from my Grand- 
 father and Grandmother Adams and Aunts have never left me and I have 
 passed it on to my children."

ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 Part of a letter from Mrs. Geraldine Perin, a daughter of Catherine 
 Adams Allison, which gives some additional characteristic details, reads 
 as follows: 
 
 "The descriptive letter by Anna Adams Kehoe is excellent and gives a very 
 vivid picture to my mind of the place and people as I remember them. 
 
 "I believe no one has mentioned the little house in which Grandmother 
 Adams spent her last years, after the passing of Grandfather. As I remember, 
 it was a three-room cottage with an open porch on the east side of it, facing the 
 hillside. It stood just south of the Adams homestead, in which Dailey Adams 
 and family lived, and the yards adjoined. My fondest memories of Grand- 
 mother Adams are associated with this little house, and the association of sister 
 Belle and myself, with the Dailey Adams children, Will, Anna and Frank, and 
 the Nancy Adams Hearn girls, Lola and Lulu, in quiet games, in which Grand- 
 mother joined. She always seemed happy to have us around her. I do not recall 
 a harsh or hasty word from her lips. 
 
 "One item about James Harvey Adams recalled to my mind what an excel- 
 lent ox driver he was. It always seemed to me he could do anything with his 
 team, and I have enjoyed watching his skillful handling of 'Buck' and 'Berry' 
 and the huge log wagon. The oxen seemed to enjoy having him crack his long 
 whip at, but never on, them. He was said to be the best teamster for miles and 
 miles around, and was acknowledged a genius in that line. He was a generous, 
 kind-hearted man, and had many friends." 
 
 William B. Adams lived in the house he had built until 1866. Then 
 he and his wife, as Mrs. Kehoe related in the letter describing the place, 
 moved into the smaller house a half mile or so to the southwest that 
 T. B. Adams had built in 1849, no trace of which now remains. There 
 he passed the last years of his life, looking out from the hill over the 
 estate he had created. 
 
 A mile and a quarter west and north of the Adams homestead and 
 one-quarter mile or so west of the new church that William B. Adams 
 and his neighbors had built, across Saines Creek on its high western 
 bank, was a little local cemetery, originally the private burying place 
 of the Rinearson family. In 1866, William B. Adams and his neighbors 
 made this the community cemetery for the new church. On June 5, 1866, 
 Alexander Matney and his wife, Metilda, owners of the surrounding 
 land. 
 
 "conveyed to William P. Woodward, Sion Fortner, John Winchel, William B. 
 Adams, Trustees for the Christian Tabernacle (now the "Saines Creek Church") 
 and their successors in office forever for a public burying ground" * * * (one 
 acre)* * *"with a right of way to the same along the creek." 10 
 
 The present Trustees are: 
 
 W. D. Snyder, Alpine, Ind. 
 Geraldine Hockersmith, Alpine, Ind. 
 Berneal Young, R. 1, Laurel, Ind. 
 Catherine Lykins, R. 1, Alpine, Ind. 
 Edward Moster, R. 2, Laurel, Ind. 
 
 Our mother told us that her Grandfather Adams acted as a self- 
 
 116 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 appointed caretaker of the cemetery. Sometimes in the summer he 
 would go each day and work there, keeping it free of briars and weeds. 
 It came to be known as the "Adams Burying Ground." At his own ex- 
 pense, he enclosed it with a strong white fence built of lumber from his 
 sawmill, to add to his feeling of assurance that he had established a 
 permanent cemetery on Saines Creek where he and his family would 
 rest. All trace of that fence of ninety years ago has vanished, but in the 
 summer of 1941, Mrs. Anna Adams Kehoe, of Clay City, Ind., fenced the 
 Adams' plot again. 
 
 With a few friends and neighbors, most of them in unmarked graves 
 or with markers on which the inscriptions are no longer legible, William 
 B. Adams, his wife, Martha, his daughter, Mary, and her young son, 
 William H. Linville, his daughter, Nancy, who had married Davis 
 Hearn, his young unmarried daughters, Sarah P. and Martha J. Adams, 
 and his son, James A. Adams, all lie on that peaceful slope. 
 
 On the stone that marks the grave of James A. Adams, there is nothing 
 
 but the inscription: T . , 
 
 1 James Adams 
 
 Co. L 
 
 3rd. Indiana Cavalry 
 
 Possibly there was another stone at that grave, now buried beneath 
 the leaf mold or lost, that recorded his date of birth and death, but none 
 was found when the place was visited in September, 1938, and again in 
 May, 1957. 
 
 Small headstones with the initials "S.P.A." and the name "Martha J." 
 mark the resting places of the two daughters who died before they were 
 married. 
 
 A headstone lying on the ground was inscribed: 
 
 Mary A 
 
 Wife of William D. Linvill 
 
 Died 
 
 Dec. 12, 1855 
 
 Aged 34 yrs., 7 mo and 3 ds. 
 
 Near it lay another like it bearing the words: 
 
 William H. Linvill, 
 
 Son of 
 
 Wm. D. and Mary A. 
 
 Linvill 
 
 Died Mar. 31, 1862 
 
 Age 
 
 6 yrs. and 7 mo. 
 
 He was the youngest child of the Linville family, a month older than 
 our Mother, who said that she remembered him at her grandfather's 
 place.

ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 On the west face of the marble shaft of the family monument ap- 
 pears the word "ADAMS." On the north face are inscribed the words: 
 
 Martha Adams 
 
 Wife of Win. B. Adams 
 
 Born Dec. 14, 1798 
 
 Died Mar. 16, 1875 
 
 and rests in hope of the 
 
 Resurrection. 
 
 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life; 
 
 he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet 
 
 shall he live. 
 
 On the south face is the inscription: 
 
 William B. Adams 
 Born Dec. 28, 1801 
 Died Jan. 28, 1872 
 
 But I would not have you to be ignorant concerning them 
 
 which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others 
 
 which have no hope. 
 
 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even 
 
 so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with 
 
 him. 
 
 Thes.s. 1 Chap. 4 Vs. IS, 14 
 
 These words from the Scriptures, favorite quotations, perhaps, of 
 Martha and William B. Adams, express better than any other comment 
 the deep religious feeling and the abiding faith that ruled their lives. 
 
 Much of the early history of our land was interred in little pioneer 
 cemeteries. Many of these have been abandoned and allowed to fall 
 into decay, or have even been turned into plowed fields, their old tomb- 
 stones and grave markers broken up and destroyed. 
 
 The long-neglected Adams burying ground is likewise drifting into 
 the oblivion of forgetfulness. Trees have extended up the high bank 
 from Saines Creek onto the gentle slope and outward in a wide border. 
 They enclose the old cemetery until it would be unnoticed but for the 
 Adams monument erected by William's sons, Thomas B. and William 
 Dailey Adams, a single, tall shaft of white marble. A few other scattered 
 headstones are almost concealed by the surrounding trees and shrubs. 
 These weathered markers year by year sink deeper into the leaf mold 
 and soil, so that in a little while they, too, will be buried there with those 
 whose names they record. No longer does any path or roadway lead to 
 that secluded place. It is now a still and quiet sanctuary set in the lovely 
 hills, where, in September and October, pale blue woodland asters 
 bloom, "rememberers of all forgotten things."

 MART ALLEN ADAMS LINVILLE 
 
 and 
 WILLIAM DONALDSON LINVILLE 
 
 mary allen adams, the first daughter of William B. Adams, married 
 william Donaldson linville. She died 14 years after her marriage. No 
 photograph of her has been discovered. 
 
 To date, we do not have the ancestral lineage of William D. Linville 
 and his father, John Linville. Mr. Wilbert R. Berry on November 19, 
 1958, stated that John Linville's father was Morgan Linville, born 1747, 
 died 1797, a son of Captain William Linville, and that this Morgan mar- 
 ried Martha Strode, his cousin. However, Mrs. Margaret McConnel, in 
 a letter dated January 26, 1940, said that her mother, Sarah Melissa Lin- 
 ville Berry, Mr. Wilbert R. Berry's mother and a granddaughter of John 
 Linville, had told her that John Linville's mother's name was "Sarah." 
 Assuming that she knew her great grandmother's first name, then, unless 
 the above Morgan had married a second time, he would not have been 
 John Linville's father, because that Morgan's wife's first name was 
 "Martha." 
 
 Mr. Berry also said that there were at least two and probably three 
 Morgan Linvilles — Morgan, I, a brother of Captain William, then the 
 Morgan who married Martha Strode, and a third Morgan Linville, listed 
 in the 1800 Census of Kentucky for Clark County. In the Kentucky 
 Census of 1790, page 59, a Morgan Linville was reported in Bourbon 
 County, probably the Morgan who married Martha Strode. Neither Mr. 
 Berry nor the authors know anything more about the Morgan Linville 
 of Clark County in 1800. 
 
 119 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 The will of an Elisha Linville was probated in Bath County, Ken- 
 tucky, February 15, 1815. It made bequests to "wife Sarah, son John 
 Linville." Alexander Donaldson was a witness to the will. John Linville 
 of Laurel, Indiana, named his second son "Elisha Parker Linville." We 
 have been able to discover nothing further about the above Elisha 
 Linville of Bath County, but the above facts may indicate that John 
 Linville's father was this Elisha Linville and not a Morgan Linville. 
 
 In the Kentucky Census of 1800, the following Linvilles are reported: 
 
 Linsville, John Bracken County 
 
 Linvile, Daniel Henry County 
 
 Linvill, Elisha Montgomery County 
 
 Linville, Morgan Clark County 
 
 Morgan, John, Daniel and Elisha Linville are all said to have had 
 Revolutionary War service. 
 
 The Elisha "Linvill" listed above for Montgomery County was prob- 
 ably the Elisha Linville whose will is mentioned above, for Bath 
 County was formed in 1811 from Montgomery County. 
 
 Captain William Linville was born in Lancaster County, Pa., mar- 
 ried 1740 Ellender (Elenor) Bryan, daughter of Morgan and Martha 
 Strode Bryan, and with his son, John, was killed in the autumn of 1766 
 by Indians while hunting near Linville Falls, N. C. It was on March 22, 
 1743, that "William Linville, gentleman," became a "Captain of Horse" 
 (Orange County, VaT, Order Book 1743-46, p. 58). He had land on Lin- 
 ville Creek in Orange County. 1 
 
 Apparently the original Linville, Boone and Bryan immigrants to 
 America first settled in Eastern Pennsylvania; then early in the 1700's 
 moved into Virginia. From there, they moved on down to the settle- 
 ment established by the Boones and Bryans in the Yadkin River country 
 of North Carolina. The fatal hunting trip by Captain William, his son, 
 John, and young John Williams started from this settlement. 
 
 The Linvilles, Boones and Bryans intermarried, and some of them 
 followed Daniel Boone into Kentucky. Thus, in "Boone Family," Sprak- 
 er, it is stated on Page 538: 
 
 "Some time after the death of her husband, Mrs. Ellender (Bryan) Linville 
 went to Kentucky to live with her children, and died there about 1792, in 
 Madison County." 
 
 Further research will be necessary to establish the ancestral lineage 
 of William D. Linville. (See "Boone Family," Spraker; "Settlers on the 
 Long Grey Trail," Harris; and Supplement to this book on file in the 
 Brookville Library, Brookville, Indiana, and in other libraries that have 
 acquired this book.) 
 
 John Linville and his family moved to the Saines Creek neighbor- 
 hood in or prior to 1820. The Indiana Census of 1820 reports for Franklin 
 
 120 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 County as heads of families John Linville and James Linville. In the 
 1830 census, these names do not appear in Franklin County, but are 
 reported for Fayette, the next county to the north. In Deed Book F. of 
 Franklin County, Indiana, is recorded the sale by a Sarah Linville of 80 
 acres of land in Sec. 34 in Tp. 12, Range 11, on Sept. 13, 1825, which she 
 "by patent" had obtained from the General Land Office of the United 
 States March 15, 1825. She was there described as "of Decatur County, 
 Indiana," adjoining Franklin on the west. The Indiana census of 1830 
 reports for Decatur County a Josiah Linville and a Sarah Linville. Noth- 
 ing is known of their relationship to John Linville. 
 
 John Linville was one of the founders of the second church built on 
 Saines Creek following the split in the congregation of the first church, 
 as related in the sketch of William B. Adams and his family. His name 
 headed the signers of the statement that set forth the reasons for the 
 building of the new church. Indeed, he may have been the author of 
 that remarkable document, which is printed in the William B. Adams 
 sketch mentioned above. He had been a Methodist circuit rider and 
 preached for the new church while he lived on Saines Creek. When he 
 sold his farm to Alex Matney and moved to Laurel, he continued to 
 preach for a congregation of the same faith in Laurel, until his health 
 failed and his son, W. D. Linville, brought him home to live with him. 
 
 William D. Linville's wife, Mary Adams, died Dec. 12, 1855. 
 
 Mrs. Berry described later happenings in the William D. Linville 
 family as follows: 
 
 "Elizabeth Jane Linville, aged 14, and Martha Catherine Linville, aged 12, 
 took eharge of the family (at mother's death) with all the children under the 
 supervision of Grandmother Adams, who took the baby, William Harvey Lin- 
 ville, and raised him to school age, when we children coaxed him to come home 
 and live with us. 
 
 "Elizabeth Jane wove out a piece of cloth which mother had left in the loom 
 unfinished at her death. The first summer, I, Sarah Melissa Linville, stayed with 
 Grandmother Linville. After that I was often with Grandmother Adams. I slept 
 with her and my baby brother, William Harvey, perhaps helping her care for 
 him. The other children all stayed home with father (William D. Linville) and 
 the home was kept by the two older girls until father married again (Eliza 
 Harris). After that Jane cared for an old lady (I do not remember the name) 
 until she married Eli Cox. Sister Martha stayed with Grandfather and Grand- 
 mother Adams, after Aunt Sarah (Adams) and Aunt Martha (Adams) died. She 
 never lived at home after she went to Grandfather's. When they moved to the 
 small house, she stayed with Uncle Daily (Adams) until she married William 
 Miller. 
 
 "Allen (he spelled it with an V) wrote me (I was living in Illinois, my hus- 
 band Thomas Whitfield was ill at the same time) that Martha died of pneu- 
 monia. Mr. Whitfield was in his last illness. I could not leave him to go back 
 home. He and Martha died but fifteen days apart in the same month. 
 
 "I was just past 18 years of age when I went with Brother Tommy to Illinois 
 to visit Uncles John and Jerry Linville at Christmas time in 1866. I never 
 dreamed I was leaving home for all time. Uncle Jerry was a tax collector and 
 begged me to stay with his wife and child while he was in office. Tommy re- 
 
 121 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 turned home to Indiana. Allen came out a little later and ran the farm for Uncle 
 Jerry. After the crops were harvested he went back to Uncle Dailey's and 
 worked in the sawmill. 
 
 "In the fall of 1868 father moved to Missouri, settling near Cole Camp. 
 Tommy came with him, driving one of the wagons. I married in Illinois and 
 never made but one trip back to Indiana. That was with Brother Allen in the 
 summer of 1889. (Anna Adams Kehoe will remember that — she spent a month 
 in our home in the summer of 1894). 
 
 "Brother Allen came to Missouri some years later (after father came), stayed 
 at home one year, then went to LaFayette County, Missouri, staying perhaps 
 two years. Then he went to Kansas City, Kans., was a millwright (a carpenter) 
 in Fowler's Packing Company for years. He did not marry until he was 48 years 
 old, married a Miss Lana Ann Youngkins of Springtown, N. J., of Dutch origin. 
 She came to Kansas City to nurse a brother through his last illness and met 
 Allen at his bedside. His two children are as a consequence much younger than 
 the rest of our family. 
 
 "Allen was a Civil War soldier. 'He enlisted Feb. 20, 1864, and was honor- 
 ably discharged on May 31, 1865. He served as a Private, Co. K, 123rd Indiana 
 Infantry." 2 He was sick a great deal of the time he was in the service and re- 
 ceived a hospital discharge, so he likely was not in any decisive battles that I 
 remember. 
 
 "Tommy also was a Civil War soldier. 'He enlisted on Sept. 15, 1863, and was 
 honorably discharged on July 25, 1865. He served as a Private, Co. A, 37th 
 Indiana Infantry." 2 He went with Sherman to the sea. He was in the infantry 
 instead of artillery, as well as I remember, although he could have been and 
 I not remember it. 
 
 "When Sherman's army was in review in Washington at the close of the 
 Civil War, he took them just as they came out of camp (other Generals and 
 soldiers had new equipment), with nondescript clothing, perhaps one boot, the 
 other a shoe, old caps, hats, or none at all. Have heard Tommy tell many a time 
 how the populace cheered and said, 'There are the fellows who did the job.' 
 
 "After the death of Tommy's last wife, he lived much alone, in Sedalia, Mo. 
 As time passed he thought much of his war days and made several visits to old 
 battlefields and G.A.R. encampments. I believe he saw Mary Michener at 
 Washington on such an occasion. He had plenty to live on and a good pension. 
 He spent a part of each year or winter at the National Soldiers Home at Fort 
 Leavenworth, Kans., and just before his last visit there requested the family to 
 bury him, at his death, in the National Cemetery. He went back the first week 
 in Jan., 1927, lived only a short time, died on Jan. 22, 1927, passing away in his 
 sleep. We would have liked to have him with the others, and father, but his 
 last request was carried out and he rests in the National Cemetery at Fort 
 Leavenworth, Kan. I made one visit there in Nov., 1933, and I do not wonder 
 at his interest in the National Home, or his last request. He had a heart affliction. 
 Grandfather Linville died in 1864 from a similar heart failing. Tommy was 
 more like Grandfather Adams, too. Always reminded me of Uncle Dailey — 
 walked like him. 
 
 "John Thomas Linville died suddenly of the same trouble and I have had 
 irregular heart beats for years and live a simple, quiet life. It seems there is a 
 heart weakness somewhere, perhaps in the Linville family. 
 
 "Allen is buried not many miles from Fort Leavenworth in Kansas City, Kan., 
 and his family still live in that city. 
 
 "There is red hair in the family. Tommy's hair was of a reddish cast, his son 
 John had red hair, but none in his family or grandchildren. My hair was of a 
 reddish cast, too, in childhood, but changed to a dark auburn, is snow white 
 now, and has been for many years. My children both had dark hair (gray now) 
 
 122 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 and brown eyes, my daughter's eyes darker than her brother's, which came from 
 
 my husband's family." 
 
 As Mrs. Berry indicates above, all the members of the Linville family 
 apparently moved to Missouri or elsewhere, away from southeastern 
 Indiana, in the years following the Civil War. 
 
 The day before he died, John Linville, the father of William Donald- 
 son Linville, wrote a last message to his children, as follows: 
 
 July 17, 1864 
 
 "The last will and advice of John Linville, to his children scattered abroad — 
 "Dear Beloved Ones — I have tried to bring you up, so long as you were under 
 my control, in the fear and admonition of the Lord, but now circumstances 
 have transpired with the most of you, that have placed you beyond my parental 
 instructions as formerly. And as I am about to depart from all earthly scenes, I 
 therefore thought it my duty to remind you of your obligation to me and more; 
 especially your aged mother in her declining days. (She died Dec. 6, 1864.) And 
 to be willing to submit to my last will and testament to her during her lifetime 
 to dispose of as she may choose, hoping there will be no disagreement or un- 
 pleasant feeling thereupon, that you may live in peace and good will with each 
 other, and that you may all embrace the blessed Gospel of our Lord and Savior 
 Jesus Christ, and obey it, that we may finally make an unbroken family in the 
 Kingdom of God. 
 
 "Dear Children — this is the last parental instruction in all probability you 
 ever may receive from me, as I am going the way of all the earth, and my faith 
 is strong in the immutable promise of God, that I shall have a part in the first 
 resurrection and shall live and reign with Christ a thousand years, although I 
 have nothing to boast of (a poor — fallible mortal) having done many things that 
 I ought not to have done. Yet I have a full pardon through the redemption 
 which is in Christ Jesus my Lord. Farewell, may the God of peace be with you, 
 and may you be preserved blameless into the coming of our Lord and Savior, 
 Jesus Christ. — John Linville. 
 
 "P.S. I desire a copy of my last advice to be sent to each of my children. My 
 affliction, is said to be by the physician, to be a disease of the heart/' 
 
 John Linville died the next dav, July 18, 1864.

 JOHN FLETCHER ADAMS 
 
 No biographical or character sketch of John Fletcher Adams is avail- 
 able from any of his descendants. Our mother wrote that he more closely 
 resembled his father than anv other of William B. Adams' children. She 
 went on to say: 
 
 "They lived across the road from the barn on the old W. B. Adams place. All 
 their children were born there. I think the land belonged to them. I never went 
 to Grandfather's farm without visiting Uncle John's. They were both fat, happy

 people and I loved to be there. Their home was charming, with a porch along 
 the east front and a cellar under the main building. Wonderfully good things 
 to eat came up that cellar stairway that appealed to me after our boarding- 
 house meals in Brookville. Martha Jane Adams was a favorite cousin and I spent 
 many happy days with her." 
 
 Later John Fletcher Adams moved to New Castle, Ind., where he 
 lived till his death. He and his second wife are buried at New Lisbon, 
 Henry County, Ind. Our Mother said that he had the family Bible of 
 William B. Adams, but that she believed it was lost or accidentally de- 
 stroyed while in his possession. No trace of it has been found among 
 his descendants. 
 
 There follows a letter which he wrote to his parents from Wabash, 
 Ind., July 11, 1847, where he had evidently gone, but did not settle 
 permanently.

 THOMAS B. ADAMS 
 
 Written by J. D. A. Morrow 
 
 Our grandfather, thomas bigelow adams, was the most distinguished 
 child of William B. Adams. He said that he was born April 9, 1826, in the 
 little house on Wilson's Creek, about two miles west of Everton, Fayette 
 County, Indiana, that his father, W. B. Adams, had built on the land he 
 leased there on Jan. 20, 1826. 
 
 He was named "Bigelow" for a prominent Methodist divine of early 
 Indiana, Russell Bigelow, whom his father admired. 
 
 During his early years, our grandfather assisted his father on the farm, 
 and at the sawmill. He got what education the community at that time 
 afforded, with additional instruction from his father and mother. He was 
 determined to educate himself, and, before starting to practice law, took 
 special instruction in English grammar and rhetoric. He had a fine mind 
 and to his death continued to keep abreast of current thought and 
 progress. 
 
 He was a man of medium height, with blue eyes, light brown hair 
 and red beard. His feet and hands were small, the fingers beautifully 
 tapered, but he was possessed of great physical strength and endurance. 
 We remember his telling us that, as a young man, he once "cradled" four 
 acres of heavy ripe wheat on a summer day "so hot and still that the 
 leaves on the quaking aspens along the creek were motionless." None 
 but a fine specimen of physical manhood could harvest four acres of 
 wheat with a cradle between sunrise and sunset on a July day. 
 
 On Feb. 20, 1849, Thomas B. Adams married Sarah Lindley Melone, 
 the daughter of a neighbor, John Melone, and his wife, Joanna Lindley 
 Melone. 1 
 
 John Melone himself was a soldier in the War of 1812, volunteering 
 at Oxford or Dayton, Ohio, Aug., 1812, and serving as a private with 
 Captain Collins' Company of Ohio Militia from Aug. 11, 1812, to Feb. 
 11, 1813, and enlisting again at Urbana, Ohio, and serving as a cavalry- 
 man in Captain Zachariah P. DeWitt's Company of Ohio Militia, under

 General Duncan McArthur, from Sept. 20, 1814, to Nov. 19, 1814, on 
 the Canadian Frontier. (Letter from A. D. Hiller, Executive Assistant 
 to the Administrator, Veterans Bureau, Washington, D. C., April 16, 
 1938. 
 
 We believe that John Melone's father, John Melone, Sr., was a Revo- 
 lutionary soldier, as indicated bv the following letter to our mother from 
 her father: 
 
 "Shelbyville, Ind., March 4, 1898 
 "Mattie — good morning 
 
 In writing the other day, I forgot to say that your great grandfather Melone 
 was a Revolutionary Soldier, drew pension until the time of his death, which 
 occurred some where about 1840. He lived to be 112 years old. Your great 
 grandmother Melone lived to be 96 years old and was as lively as a girl the 
 week before her death. She walked in July a very hot day 8 miles, which 
 brought on her death sickness. You see long life comes to you on both sides of 
 the house. If it is well guarded it will last a long time. You see also that you can 
 get into the Daughters of the Revolution on both sides of the house. We are all 
 well. I do not know that you can read this scratching. If you cannot I will have 
 to translate for you some time. 
 
 "As Ever, 
 "T. B. Adams" 
 
 Captain W. F. Limpus of Connersville, a grandson of John Melone, 
 Sr., also stated that his grandfather served in the Revolution. To date, 
 we have not been able to verify his service. 
 
 Later in the year, Thomas R. Adams bought the 108-acre farm of 
 Noah Plow, which adjoined his father's farm, for $1 100.00. 2 There he 
 built a house southwest across Saines Creek from his father's home. In 
 that house, gone for many years, our mother was born. 
 
 As his father became older, T. R. Adams and his brother, William 
 Dailey, took on more and more of the management of the farm and the 
 sawmill. Rut Thomas began studying law, applied himself to it assidu- 
 ously, and was admitted to the Franklin County Rar at the July term of 
 Court in 1857. 
 
 In December of 1857, he gave up farming and sawmilling to practice 
 
 126 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 law in Brookville, twenty miles away. His wife refused to go with him, 
 and eventually they were divorced. Thomas B. Adams took his son, 
 James Harvey, and his daughters, Mary and Martha, the latter our 
 mother, to Brookville with him. Another younger daughter, Eliza, re- 
 mained with her mother. 
 
 In Brookville, Thomas B. Adams soon made a place for himself at the 
 Bar. He and his children lived at a boarding house conducted by the 
 daughters of Joseph Meeks, who had been one of the most prominent 
 and well-to-do citizens of Brookville in its early days. These daughters 
 were Phoebe, Lucinda and Mary Meeks. None of them ever married. 
 Miss Phoebe, then in middle life, and her sisters took care of T. B. 
 Adams' little children and, for the next sixteen years, Miss Phoebe was 
 a second mother to them. 
 
 Thomas B. Adams, even though practicing law in Brookville, main- 
 tained a lively interest in his old home west of Laurel and its affairs, as 
 recounted in the sketch of William Dailey Adams. 
 
 When the Civil War came on, southern Indiana was debatable 
 ground. Settled largely by people from Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia 
 and the Carolinas, the Southern cause had many sympathizers and even 
 active supporters there. In 1861, the Indiana Legislature refused to vote 
 funds to arm and equip Indiana regiments for the Northern army. But 
 Governor Morton, one of the really great "war" governors of the North, 
 on his own authority arranged loans to arm and equip troops. He then 
 called for volunteers and asked influential citizens in different parts of 
 the State to lead in raising companies and regiments of volunteers. Other 
 men, among them Thomas B. Adams, he asked to mold sentiment in 
 their communities and to control the disaffected elements after the 
 volunteers had left. 
 
 In the Adams family, even among the women, :> * Governor Morton 
 found staunch support. Whatever the pull of sentiment may have been, 
 they were uncompromisingly opposed to rebellion and felt that it must 
 be suppressed, by force if need be. 
 
 Thomas B. Adams' brother, James A., and his nephews, Thomas 
 Fletcher and James Allen Linville, enlisted in the Union Army. His 
 right wrist crippled by a fracture that was not properly set, Thomas B. 
 devoted himself to strengthening the Union in his part of the State, and 
 was one of Governor Morton's trusted supporters in dangerous Southern 
 Indiana. 
 
 Thomas B. Adams practiced law in Brookville until 1874, when he 
 and his son-in-law, L. T. Michener, established the firm of Adams & 
 Michener in Shelbyville. It immediately became popular and successful. 
 They continued the partnership until Mr. Michener was elected Attor- 
 ney General of Indiana in 1886. The firm then became Adams & Carter 
 and continued as one of the leading law firms of Indiana until advancing 
 age closed Thomas B. Adams' career as a lawyer.

ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 The photograph which appears in this book was taken, our mother 
 said, in Shelby ville, Ind., when her father was about fifty years of age 
 and pictures him much as we remember him, though he was older when 
 we knew him. Mrs. Anna Adams Kehoe says he resembled his mother 
 rather than his father in appearance. 
 
 Our sister, Miss Edwina Morrow, wrote of him, 
 
 "My most vivid impressions of grandfather Adams were formed when I was 
 a child of ten or twelve and made long summer visits in his home in Shelby- 
 ville, Ind. I remember him as a man of great dignity. His manner of speech and 
 mode of dress contributed to this impression. His speech was rather slow and 
 thoughtful, his use of unusual words remarkable to a child. 
 
 "He always wore a black frock coat, broadcloth probably, with white 
 starched shirt and black tie; highly polished boots which in summer he re- 
 placed with low shoes or slippers as soon as he entered the house. His hat was 
 a broad-brimmed black felt, winter and summer, though it is my recollection 
 that in severe weather he wore a sealskin cap, as did my father at that time. 
 
 "The atmosphere of his home was also formal and dignified. I never heard 
 him call his wife anything but 'Mrs. Adams/ and she addressed him as 'Mr. 
 Adams,' no matter how informal the topic of conversation. Two things in the 
 Adams house impressed me greatly; the clocks and the mirrors, and both rep- 
 resented the taste of the master. There was a fine clock in every downstairs 
 room, including the kitchen, and he made it his duty to keep them running and 
 synchronized as to time. Nearly every room had a full-length mirror, and by 
 way of comment, my grandfather said that he had a handsome wife and liked 
 to see her reflection repeated many times. 
 
 "At table I was greatly interested in his silver mustache cup and impressed 
 by the silver coffee service and white linen tablecloth which were used at every 
 meal. My mother's silver coffee service appeared only on company occasions, 
 and for every day use we had pink or blue damask tablecloths. 
 
 "Although he was so dignified, this did not prevent my playing a childish 
 prank when occasion offered. On one visit, I had a new camera and wanted to 
 take his picture. He did not forbid it, but turned his back whenever I pointed 
 the camera in his direction. When my films were developed, he was delighted 
 to find that I had caught him in a most undignified pose, removing his boots on 
 the back porch steps. 
 
 "Another vivid memory is of his reading aloud in the evenings. I think it 
 must have been poetry, something I did not understand, at any rate. But I loved 
 the measured cadence and his dramatic emphasis on certain words and phrases. 
 He was very fond of the English poets of that era — Scott, Wordsworth, Cole- 
 ridge — and his library included handsomely bound copies of them all. The 
 poetry reading was followed by a Bible reading, a long prayer, and then, 'Good 
 night, little girl'." 
 
 We remember that in many conversations with him, we were perhaps 
 most impressed by his, to us, almost uncanny insight into the characters 
 and motives of people. He was preeminently what the Indiana country 
 folk meant by a "good judge of human nature." 
 
 He had the strictest regard for every obligation, whether expressed 
 or implied. He was a man of great dignity and even austerity, but with 
 all was a kindly and understanding person and a wise and greatly- 
 respected counsellor. He was always addressed by everyone as "Mr. 
 
 128 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 Adams." In the Middle West of his time, it was the custom to apply this 
 title in this manner only to the leading citizens of the community, and 
 this mark of distinction and respect became no man in Indiana more 
 fitly than Thomas B. Adams. 
 
 In politics, he was an influential leader of the Republican party in 
 Indiana. He was a fine speaker and was in demand as a campaign orator. 
 A Shelbyville newspaper account in 1884 of a Republican rallv that was 
 "addressed by Mr. Adams," after giving the general tenor of his speech, 
 states, as an indication of the interest his appearance caused, that "a 
 large number of ladies and even several Democrats were noticed in the 
 audience." 
 
 The following excerpt from his obituary, printed in THE DEMO- 
 CRAT, Shelbyville, Ind., Nov. 21, 1910, written by one of his friends, 
 indicates the esteem in which he was held in the community: 
 
 "In his general knowledge of literature, of science, or philosophy, he had no 
 superiors and few equals. The students in his office, of whom he was very fond, 
 will always carry with them his words of wise counsel, with which he directed 
 their studies. 
 
 "Said one of his students a few days ago of Mr. Adams: 'A good man, one of 
 the best I ever knew, has gone to his reward. I feel the loss keenly for he had 
 been my firm, true friend for more than forty years. He was the most valuable 
 friend I ever had for he took me as a young man, formed my character, and 
 made me such a lawyer as I am. He could not have done more for me had I been 
 his own son. With the exception of Benjamin Harrison, he was the best all- 
 round lawyer I ever knew. I think there was no choice between them in that 
 respect. Each had the logical mind and the gift of moving men by speech to a 
 wonderful degree.' " 
 
 In 1887, Thomas B. Adams married Aurilla Phillips. She was a charm- 
 ing woman, a widow with one son. She was as strong-minded in her 
 pleasant way as her husband, but she was deft and tactful and under- 
 standing, and her black eyes sparkled with an always lively good humor 
 and interest in everything that went on in the world. She made delight- 
 ful all the later years of his life. 
 
 After he retired from active practice in 1903, he devoted himself to 
 managing a farm that his wife owned, just outside Shelbyville, driving 
 out nearly every fine day to see the crops and animals and confer with 
 the farmer. His best years were spent in Shelbyville, and he is buried 
 there.

ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 SARAH ME LOME ADAMS TAT MAN 
 
 We never knew our grandmother, sarah melone adams, who some 
 years after her divorce from our grandfather, married Milton Tatman. 
 Accordingly, we asked our cousin, Mrs. Bertha Lee, to write for us her 
 impressions of her grandmother, which she has done as follows: 
 
 "My first memory of Grandmother Tatman is also one of my first memories. 
 When I was four years old, my brother took me to Indiana (we lived in Okla- 
 homa) to visit her mother. One afternoon, while we were there, Grandmother 
 took me to Laurel and bought me a new hat, a red felt turned up all around 
 with ribbon streamers hanging down the back. The fact that my mother took 
 the hat back and changed it for a blue velvet bonnet that would keep my ears 
 warm, never dimmed the glow that comes always with the thought of Grand- 
 mother's kindness and desire to make me happy. 
 
 "When her husband, Milton Tatman, whom she had married after her 
 divorce from Grandfather Adams, died, she came to make her home with us. 
 I believe she lived with us about nine years before her death in 1909. She is 
 buried at Temple, Okla. 
 
 "Grandmother found pleasure in piecing pretty quilts and doing other fancy 
 work. She was naturally artistic and had a great love for beauty. She greatly 
 treasured a set of beautiful imported china. She was quite dressy, always wear- 
 ing to church perky little bonnets like older women wore at that time. 
 
 "She transferred her church membership from Laurel, Ind., to The Methodist 
 Church at Temple, Okla., and attended church with us when she was able. 
 She enjoyed reading her Bible, Sermons by Moody, and her Hymn Book. I re- 
 member she often sang 'I Think When I Read That Sweet Story of Old.' It is a 
 sweet hymn and I'm sure as it ends, 'In that beautiful place He has gone to 
 prepare, For all who are washed and forgiven,' she is with him there, 'For of 
 such is the Kingdom of Heaven.' " 
 
 CATHERINE VAWTER ADAMS ALLISON 
 
 From various statements that our mother made to us from time to time, 
 we have the impression that her Aunt Catherine was rather a favorite 
 in the family. She mentioned the fact that her father and her Uncle 
 Dailey and other members of the family were frequently "going to see 
 Catherine/' Perhaps one reason for this was the fact that her marriage 
 was not happy. 
 
 As mentioned in the sketch of Thomas B. Adams, in the years before 
 the Civil War, there was much feeling between Southern sympathizers 
 and adherents of the North in Southeastern Indiana. Catherine Adams* 
 husband, James Dow Allison, was openly sympathetic with the South- 
 ern cause. His wife was unalterably opposed and held firmly to her 
 convictions. In addition, according to her daughter, Mrs. Geraldine 
 Perin, there were other reasons for the marriage turning out unhappily, 
 and, after some years, Catherine Adams Allison divorced her husband. 
 
 Herewith is a letter, written to her parents, probably in the summer of 
 1859.

 Dear Father and Mother — 
 
 I sit down to adress you a few lines by way of informing you that we are all 
 well and that I have not forgoten you though long abcent from you and I hope 
 these few lines will find you well. I had hope of soon coming to see you but I 
 must inform you all hope of geting leave to com is lost. I have bin waiting for 
 harvest to be over and then I thought I would come but I have bin informed 
 that I can not come and I must tell you that I have to suffer many things for the 
 gospel and I have thought that I could not submit to this but I find in Christs 
 teachings if need be we must for sake everything even father mother, brother, 
 sister, son and daughter, and till these will I forsake before I will the gospel 
 for this is made use of because seveare punishment thinking that I will change 
 my faith rather than suffer, but I have learned to rejoice at tribulation know- 
 ing these light aflictions will worke out for us a far more exceeding and eternal 
 wealth of glory and I am also taught if we suffer with Christ we shall reign 
 with him and that if we suffer as Christians we need not be ashamed. I have 
 also been told that I could go to no more advent meetings but all this does not 
 change my faith but strengthens it but things may turn beter than has been said 
 for people dont always do as they say, and I was told that if I would behave 
 myself and times changed I could then come and see you. Well would be grati- 
 fying but my politics are a great deal in the way because I believe in putting 
 down rebellion the best way thong it might result in freeing the slaves. 
 I am not alowed to speak my sentiments so for this reson I must remain silent 
 and this is another cause why I can not come and see you but do not let this 
 letter excite you or trouble you for it does not trouble me no I would rather 
 suffer wrong I would rather suffer myself defrauded than to do wrong myself 
 now you may suppose that there is strif and ill felings with us but there is non 
 on my part so I try to manifest a Christian spirit in all things and pray for them 
 that despitefuly use me and persecute me think not I am troubled allthough 
 this is a severe tryal but like Job I will try to keep my integrity of heart know- 
 ing that I must endure hardness as a good souldier. I would be glad that you 
 would both come and see us for when I spoke of coming to see you I was an- 
 swered that would not do that you must come and see me so come as son as 
 you can and dont let this leter discourage you for I am only suffering for the 
 sake of Christ and am glad that I am counted worthy to sufer for him. The chil- 
 dren all wants to see you and come both of you to the big meeting on the creek 
 which commenses the 6 of august and if I am alowed to go I shall be there I 
 could come and see you the 1 of September as James D. will be gon to con- 
 feranc 2 or 3 days but I don know whether to come with out his knowledge or 
 not. Tell Martha and Mary I have not forgoten them and would be glad to 
 
 131 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 see them. I thought when I commensed writing that I would give you more of 
 the particulars but as I see some prospect of amendment charity teaches me to 
 forbare. I send this because I can not come and if you wish to write to me in 
 reference to this letter direct it to John daily or davis so as not to cause excite- 
 ment. Catherine V. Allison to W. B. and Martha Adams. 
 
 In spite of her domestic difficulties, Catherine Adams Allison reared 
 her family and sent them out well-equipped for their lifetime careers. 
 
 At our request, her granddaughter, Mrs. Ethel D. Bacon, has written 
 the following characterization of her grandmother: 
 
 "For me, the treat of the year was our visit with Grandmother in the summer- 
 time. We would come to Rushville, the nearest station at that time, by train, and 
 there a carriage would be waiting to take us back 'home/ Often it was late when 
 we arrived, long past mealtime, but plenty of food would be waiting for us 
 carefully kept warm in the oven of the 'cook-stove/ 
 
 "Just outside the yard stood the stone mounting block, from which to mount 
 a horse or to enter the surrey. I remember how proud Grandmother looked in 
 her long riding skirts as she mounted her side saddle and rode with me to spend 
 the day with friends. 
 
 "The picket fence which enclosed her yard was white. The walks and steps 
 were limestone, from my father's 1 quarry at Derbyshire Falls. Just inside the 
 front gate, on either side of the walk, were pedestal tables of white birch which 
 held a varied assortment of odd and pretty stones, shells and Indian arrows, 
 curios found on her own place. I remember the profusion of trees in the yard; 
 peach, apple, cherry, maple and pine, and the long arbor where purple grapes 
 hung thick in late summer. The old well had a special fascination for me. The 
 little house that covered it had a peaked roof, and there really was an 'old oaken 
 bucket' that stood on the rounded rail and sometimes dripped its cooling drop- 
 lets to the well curb or onto unwary feet. Beyond the limit of the yard, rail 
 fences stretched along the gravel road, and I remember that my Uncle Frank 2 
 told how he perched on the rails as a small boy to watch the Union Soldiers as 
 they passed. 
 
 "Grandmother loved beauty, and her flowers grew everywhere. They sun- 
 ned themselves in the corners of the yard, or peeped shyly through the picket 
 fence. Plump pots holding certain choice varieties stood in a row along the edge 
 of the low porch floor, and above them hanging baskets filled with vines and 
 plants swung happily at their moorings. 
 
 "Inside the house, one of her treasures was the organ, which I tried to play 
 but could not. It was so different from the piano at home! And there was her 
 bed, hand carved and made especially for her by my father. The wood work in 
 her living room was pale blue; I thought of it as being heavenly in color, and 
 most proper for Grandmother. In the kitchen stood the old 'safe' (an old-time 
 kitchen cupboard), its thin, pin-pricked, tin doors easily opened by curious 
 eager fingers. Around it always hung the fragrance of spice, like some rare and 
 delightful perfume, and in it there was sure to be some delectable 'piece' — a 
 plate of doughnuts, perhaps, or the remains of a fruit cobbler. Grandmother, it 
 seemed to us, could prepare and serve food with the greatest of ease. 
 
 "She loved to sit down with a book and read to us or discuss matters of real 
 interest in the field of knowledge. One of my favorite memories is of the eve- 
 nings when my Uncles Alden and Clement would read aloud passages from 
 Shakespeare while she and I sat enthralled. 
 
 "Grandmother was poised and calm, but she had a sense of humor that 
 crinkled the corners of her beautiful blue-gray eyes. She was tall and slender, 
 and there was a quiet graciousness in her manner that made me feel, even as a 
 
 132 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 child, that she was indeed a lady in the fine old tradition. She had a ready smile 
 that welcomed everyone. Her hair was a striking reddish-gold almost like new 
 copper 8 and always was worn primly combed back. On Sundays when we went 
 to church in the surrey, often with Grandmother herself holding the reins in 
 her capable hands, she would dress in a plain neat fashion — high collar, long 
 sleeves and skirt, with the waist buttoned from collar to belt. Her silk dresses 
 were black taffeta with white niching at the neck and cuffs, and sometimes a 
 fine brooch fastened a jabot at her throat. 
 
 "After her hip was broken by a simple fall, she was confined to her chair, 
 but she accepted her misfortune with characteristic cheerfulness. To pass the 
 weary hours, she busied herself making little things for one and all of us. I still 
 treasure a needle case she made for me. When at last word came that she was 
 gone, I went home to see her for the last time. As far back as I can remember, 
 she was a very special person whom I adored. It was always as if I were the 
 only grandchild and she was mine alone. Her memory is forever in my heart."

 WILLIAM DAILET ADAMS 
 
 Written by his Daughter, Martha Adams Kehoe, 
 Clay City, Indiana, Sept. 10, 19S9 
 
 vvilliam dailey adams was born at Everton, Fayette County, Ind., June 
 25, 1832. He was the fourth son of William Barnes Adams and Martha 
 Larimore Adams. William Barnes Adams was a Methodist minister and 
 named his son for William Dailey, the presiding Elder of the district, 
 who was greatly admired by William Barnes Adams. 
 
 He grew to manhood in Posey Township, Franklin County, Indiana, 
 four miles west of the town of Laurel, and at the age of 28 married Pene- 
 lope J. Blue. Their family of six children, with the exception of the 
 youngest, were born on the farm which was developed there by his 
 father. 
 
 William Dailey Adams had great energy and executive ability. From 
 his father, he learned the arduous task of operating a sawmill by water 
 power. Work had to be done when there was water to turn the wheel, 
 so a double shift was usually necessary. While his brother Thomas re- 
 mained at home, they took turns at day and night work. Later his father 
 took the day shift and he the night shift. 
 
 For the night shift, their only light was from lanterns and not very 
 good ones. In later years I found several different lanterns in the upper 
 story of the original log house. Some had four glass sides held in a frame 
 of tin, with a four-sided peak at the top with a crude bail by which to 
 carry them. A tallow candle inside in a socket furnished the light. This 
 was a great improvement over an earlier type, a tin cylinder thickly 
 
 133 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 perforated with holes to permit light from the single candle inside to 
 penetrate the darkness. 
 
 The candles were made by his mother, "Patsy" Adams. As a child, I 
 played with the candle molds and the old lanterns, and also with Uncle 
 James' canteen and holster. In that upper room, too, were large bottles 
 of curious shape containing balsam made by grandmother's brother, 
 Dr. H. Greene Larimore, a part of grandmother's emergency kit for 
 accidents at the mill or on the farm. 
 
 Dailey Adams was a man of wonderful self-control and never pun- 
 ished his children in anger. Grandfather brought up his family under 
 the old order, "Spare the rod and spoil the child." My father abolished 
 punishment by the rod and depended on lectures which were well 
 delivered. 
 
 He was a devoted son and gave to his father's business the best pos- 
 sible service, as did his brother, Thomas, also. When their father retired 
 in 1866, they formed a partnership which they carried on for several 
 years under the firm name of W. D. Adams & Bro., even though Thomas 
 B. Adams was then a lawyer in Brookville. 
 
 Dailey Adams employed much help and made it a rule to give em- 
 ployment to those related to him. His brother-in-law, A. D. Hearn, hus- 
 band of his sister Nancy, was in his employ for many years. His nephews, 
 Thomas Fletcher, Allen V. Linville and James Harvey Adams, were also 
 employed in the mill. In time, Harvey became his right-hand man. 
 
 The old mill, built in a high bank with the water from the race to 
 furnish the power, was very picturesque and gave many years of service. 
 But, in time, Dailey persuaded his brother, Thomas, to replace the old 
 waterwheel with fine steam equipment. 
 
 Grandfather and Grandmother Adams came one day in their old- 
 fashioned rock-away buggy, driving Alec, their old gray horse. Grand- 
 father had donned his Sunday best for the occasion, Quaker gray suit 
 and tall black Beaver hat. His trousers were of a peculiar early-day cut. 
 He wore a long linen duster to protect his suit. They went about the mill 
 with evident pride. 
 
 In 1875, Dailey Adams moved both his family and his sawmill to 
 Laurel and added a planing mill. After a time, when scarcity of timber 
 made the operation unprofitable, he sold the mill machinery and spent 
 the remainder of his life back on the farm. 
 
 The sugar camp of 1,000 trees had been operated in his father's time 
 using large kettles and an open fire. Dailey Adams installed an evap- 
 orator which took the sugar water in at one end and at the other, dis- 
 charged fine maple syrup, for which he had a wide market. Although 
 "sugar making" came when the weather was most disagreeable, he 
 enjoyed the task. 
 
 Dailey Adams' word was considered as good as his bond. He was an 
 ardent Republican and a highly-respected citizen. He was a great reader 
 
 134 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 and was always well-informed on current events here and abroad. He 
 was a kind neighbor and a helpful benefactor to the needy. 
 
 William Dailey Adams is buried in Salt Creek Cemetery near Ander- 
 sonville, Franklin County, beside his wife, Penelope Blue Adams. 
 
 MART ADAMS MICHENER 
 
 Written by her Daughter, Mrs. Griffin Halstead, Feb. 28, 1952 
 
 When my father, louis t. michener, became Attorney General of In- 
 diana, the family moved from Shelbyville, Ind., to Indianapolis, where 
 Mother found herself in a whirl of social activities. Since all the other 
 State Officers were bachelors or widowers, she became the official host- 
 ess. She greatly enjoyed the life there and its continuance in a measure 
 when we went to Washington, D. C, during the administration of Ben- 
 jamin Harrison as President. It was during Harrison's administration as 
 Governor of Indiana that Louis T. Michener was Attorney General of 
 Indiana. 
 
 Washington was a charming place in the long ago and all the friend- 
 ships that were formed gave her great pleasure then and always. 
 
 She had a quiet graciousness and sincerity which endeared her to all 
 who knew her. We children were blest with the patience and under- 
 standing she showed in all our activities. Nothing was too much trouble 
 if we and our friends were happy in our home. The cutting of the newly- 
 made cake on the pantry shelf, or the afternoon after-school watermelon 
 party were not considered misdemeanors, and the Indiana maple "stir- 
 ofis" unheard of in the East, were equally delightful to Mother and our 
 friends, who looked upon her in wonderment, and we, in pride, that she 
 was our very own. 
 
 The small city backyard in Washington was in time transformed into 
 a lovely garden, many favorite plants being transplanted from Grand- 
 father Adams' yard in Shelbyville and the lovely old farm garden of the 
 Morrows, over which her sister, Martha Morrow, presided. Like all the 
 Adams's, she had a "green thumb" and every plant responded to her 
 tender care. She planted fig trees along the back fence and promptly 
 had an understanding with the neighborhood boys that all fruit on the 
 alley was theirs, a diplomatic and effective way of handling what might 
 have been a problem. Those boys, later grown, often told Mother how 
 her trust in them had helped steer them along proper ways. 
 
 She was a member of the Episcopal Church and served faithfully on 
 the Church Hospital Boards. 
 
 She loved the outdoors and Washington's beautiful parks gave her an 
 opportunity to be among the trees she knew so well; also to learn about 
 many foreign specimens. She had been taught by her father, Thomas B. 
 Adams, to know the trees by their bark alone, but her children were not 
 
 135 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 apt pupils unless the trees were in leaf. How disappointing that must 
 have been to her! 
 
 Mother's hands were never idle. She was an expert needlewoman and 
 delighted in making exquisite gifts. Later in life, she joined the Wash- 
 ington Club and became an excellent and enthusiastic bridge player. 
 
 She had an avid interest in political and international affairs. She was 
 a great lover of poetry and always wanted to write it. Doubtless her self- 
 less life, always doing for others, kept her from realizing that ambition. 
 I feel she could have done it; she had a way of always accomplishing 
 what she set out to do. 
 
 L. T. MICHENER 
 
 louis Theodore michener was born near Connersville, Ind., Dec. 21, 
 1848, and was the son of William Michener and Mary A. Blake. William 
 Michener was a native of Ohio, and Mary Blake a native of Virginia. 
 Both came to Indiana as children with their families. x 
 
 William Michener was a son of Mordecai Michener and Catherine 
 Eyestone Michener, the former born in Washington County, Pa., and 
 the latter in Eastern Kentucky. On Page 661, "History of Fayette County, 
 Indiana," the author states that Catherine Eyestone's father was a Revo- 
 lutionary War soldier. Mordecai Michener was a Quaker, but fought in 
 the War of 1812. He was a cabinet maker and specialized in the manu- 
 facture of cases for grandfather clocks. He made the case for the tall 
 clock that used to stand in Louis T. Michener's home in Washington, 
 and which his daughter, Mrs. Nora Mohun, later owned. It was origi- 
 nally made for Daniel Larimore of Everton, Ind., whose brother-in-law, 
 William B. Adams, grandfather of Mary Adams Michener, settled his 
 estate. At the sale of Daniel Larimore's personal property, Louis T. 
 Michener bought the clock because his grandfather had made the case. 
 
 Louis Theodore Michener attended Brookville College for a year, was 
 admitted to the Indiana Bar in 1871. On May 30, 1872, he married Mary 
 Adams, and in 1873, moved to Winfield, Kans. 
 
 In 1874, he returned to Indiana and formed a law partnership with 
 his father-in-law, Thomas B. Adams, both moving from Brookville to 
 Shelbyville, Ind. He was Attorney General of Indiana from 1886 to 1890, 
 and a delegate to the Republican National Convention in Chicago in 
 1884, was campaign manager for Benjamin Harrison from 1884 to 1892. 
 In 1888, 1889 and 1890, he was also Chairman of the Indiana State 
 Republican Committee. 
 
 He moved to Washington, D. C, in 1890, and practiced law there 
 until the time of his death.

 JAMES HARVEY ADAMS 
 
 Written by his Daughter, Gertrude Adams Herrmann, Aug. 2, 1939 
 james harvey adams was the only son of Thomas B. and Sarah Melone 
 Adams and was born at the old Adams homestead four miles west of 
 Laurel in Posey Township, Franklin County, Indiana. The house across 
 the creek, on the hill, was his birthplace. 
 
 He was named for fames A. Adams, his father's brother, and Harvey 
 Melone, his mother's brother. He was James Adams III. 
 
 His parents separated when he was five years of age and he grew to 
 manhood in the home of his grandparents, William B. and Martha L. 
 Adams. He attended the country school at Beech Flats. He excelled in 
 his school work. His keen mind was master of the branches taught in 
 this school. He used the old McGuffey's Readers and spelling book. He 
 memorized the poems in these books as he went along and remembered 
 them always. Poetry appealed to him. He attended the Brookville Col- 
 lege in Brookville in 1871. 
 
 Lucinda Meeks, in whose house he lived for a short time as a child, said, 
 "Harvey and Mattie (his sister, Martha Joanna Adams) were as near alike as it 
 was possible for two children to be. Both were bright and had good dis- 
 positions." 
 
 Meanwhile, one of the chief industries on his grandfather's farm was 
 converting trees into usable lumber and when quite young he began 
 working at the sawmill. He became an expert engineer. He worked in 
 the woods felling the trees, cutting them into logs and hauling them to 
 the mill with a yoke of oxen (or several yoke of oxen). He was successful 
 with any part of the farm work. 
 
 On Sept. 16, 1874, he was united in marriage to Louise Lake of Ever- 
 ton. Five children were born to this union. He offered every kindness to 
 his wife and children, his wife being first. To others he extended kind 
 courtesy. He had respect for women and was considerate of little chil- 
 dren, the aged, the sick and all earth's helpless. 
 
 He was deeply interested in the public schools and sometimes served 
 as Director of his district. Two of his daughters, Gertrude and Mary, 
 were teachers. 
 
 In rjolitics he was a staunch Republican. He liked history, including 
 local history and current events. He was gifted along literary lines and 
 passed this gift on to two of his children and one granddaughter. 
 
 He was hungry for access to worthwhile books and time to read them. 
 He liked to read the Bible, because of its comforting promises, its j3or- 
 trayal of human nature, its history and its beautiful literature. The 
 Psalms and Proverbs were his favorite Books. Quite often he used ap- 
 propriate Biblical quotations or quotations from the sayings of Poor 
 Richard. He was an expressive reader and sometimes read aloud a 
 choice poem or an interesting piece of prose. He enjoyed a livelv debate 
 
 13' 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 as a listener or participant. 
 
 He knew many of the medicinal herbs and their uses and often gath- 
 ered them. He knew the woods and the wildlife there and it aroused 
 his anger for any one to molest a covey of quail or kill a pheasant. 
 
 He was an exceptionally good man, quiet, patient, generous, cour- 
 teous, and a firm believer in God and in a hereafter. His life was a sacri- 
 fice for others. 
 
 He was small of stature but erect and was always calm and self- 
 controlled. 
 
 He died about six o'clock on Monday morning, March 6, 1911, at his 
 home in Columbia Township, one-half mile north of the farm where 
 he was born. 
 
 LOUISE LAKE ADAMS 
 
 Written by her Daughter, Gertrude Adams Herrmann, Aug. 2, 1939 
 louise was the fifth child and the youngest daughter of Willis and Eliza- 
 beth Ray Lake. She was born on Sept. 29, 1852, at the farm home of her 
 parents, two miles south of Everton in Jackson Township, Fayette 
 County, Indiana. 
 
 There is a tradition, handed down from generation to generation, that 
 this Lake family is related to Sir Edward Lake, who was knighted for 
 bravery at the Battle of Edgehill, fought on Oct. 3, 1642, during the reign 
 of King Charles I. 
 
 Louise's mother, Elizabeth Ray Lake, was the daughter of a pioneer 
 minister and was a real home maker. Her father, Willis Lake, was a 
 successful farmer and business man. 
 
 She attended the country school near her home when subscription 
 schools were in vogue. She did not like to go to school and was not in- 
 terested in her school work. She was skillful with a needle and made 
 many pretty garments. She could make attractive clothes for children 
 and could dress a doll to look very stylish. She made her own trousseau, 
 which included not only her wedding dress but her infare dress, which 
 was a creation of tucks, ruffles and frills. She passed this gift on to her 
 daughter, Mary, and her granddaughter, Helen. 
 
 At the home of her parents on Sept. 16, 1874, she was united in mar- 
 riage to James Harvey Adams. The marriage service was read by the 
 Rev. Thomas P. Hedrick. 
 
 After a wedding trip to Brookville and Indianapolis, they began 
 housekeeping on the old Adams homestead four miles west of Laurel. 
 
 She was a charter member of the Saines Creek Christian Church, 
 uniting under the pastorate of Elder O. F. McHargue. 
 
 After the death of her husband, she became a resident of Laurel, 
 where she lived for almost twentv-five years. She died at her Laurel 
 home on Feb. 26, 1936, having reached the advanced age of 83 years, 
 4 months and 28 days.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 Louise Lake Adams was a very large woman, with black hair and 
 hazel eyes. She was a splendid manager for herself, combative, am- 
 bitious, determined to have money to hoard, determined to use her time 
 to go about, quite a conversationalist, a believer in tokens, signs, warn- 
 ings, and dreams. Her husband always humored her. 
 
 She was the third Adams bride to begin housekeeping in the house 
 across the creek, on the hill. 
 
 MARTHA JOANNA ADAMS MORROW 
 
 A child portrait of martha joanna adams morrow shows a winsome 
 face with blue eyes and golden curls. At maturity her coloring remained 
 true blond; her personality matched her complexion, vivacious and smil- 
 ing. She was a small figure, only five feet tall, delicately built, with tiny 
 hands and feet. She always wore a child's thimble for sewing. She 
 loved to wear flower colors, in later years lavender and blue. 
 
 She was blessed with a lively imagination, fine sense of humor, and a 
 sympathetic understanding of people. She was gentle, kindly and gen- 
 erous. Well educated herself, she instilled in her children a respect for 
 learning and a determination to obtain it for themselves. By example, she 
 taught consideration of others, particularly the less fortunate. 
 
 Martha Joanna Adams' name appears as a member of the last class 
 graduated by Brookville College, one of the earliest of the many small 
 colleges founded in Indiana. 
 
 From the time she came into the Morrow family as a beautiful young 
 bride, Martha Joanna Adams' sociability and wide interests made her a 
 natural leader in the community, sharing her husband's activities and 
 developing others of her own. 
 
 Her interest in flowers dated from a child, when she planted her own 
 small flower garden. She loved the outdoors and knew the wildflowers, 
 trees and animals of the countryside. Her flower gardens and spring-fed 
 lily pools were famous in the community. She shared her knowledge and 
 treasures with friends and neighbors, and dooryards in the neighboring 
 village soon bloomed with seedlings and cuttings from her garden. 
 
 Each year, on Memorial Day, she provided flowers, notably peonies, 
 for the graves of Civil War soldiers in nearby cemeteries. She was always 
 called on when flowers were needed for weddings, commencements, 
 funerals, and neighborhood social gatherings. The first "hot house" 
 flowers ever seen by her children were six white roses she ordered from 
 the florist for the casket of the tenant's child who died in mid-winter. 
 
 She was one of the early members of the Richmond, Indiana, Garden 
 Club where her gardening talent was recognized by the many awards 
 she won in flower shows. She became recognized as an authority on 
 native wild flowers and her many talks and papers on this subject were 
 illustrated with specimens from her own garden, or collected in nearby 
 
 139 
 
ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 fields and woods. In her later years, she was made a life member of the 
 Richmond Garden Club in recognition of her long and notable service. 
 
 She developed the first "water garden" in the country, unique in that it 
 was a natural garden — two pools fed by springs and planted with native 
 wildlings with an affinity for moisture, the only "foreigners" being the 
 waterlilies and goldfish in the pools. Her greatest interest always cen- 
 tered around the native trees, shrubs and vines as was strikingly evi- 
 denced when in turn the service berry, wild plum, crabapple, red bud, 
 dog wood, wahoo, tulip tree and bittersweet added a succession of color 
 notes to her garden picture. 
 
 She and our father both had an abiding interest in birds of all kinds, 
 which found the farm a particularly attractive place. A spring-fed creek 
 wandered through the fields and along the lower side of the farmyard 
 only one hundred feet from the house, and with the adjoining lily pools, 
 provided a constant supply of clean, fresh water, ice-free even in the 
 coldest weather. In the fields and woods around the farm buildings, 
 birds were protected. Suitable little nesting houses were available for 
 bluebirds, wrens and martins, and there were openings into the barn 
 for the swallows that plastered their mud nests against the heavy adze- 
 hewn beams and joints. Bobwhites and pheasants from the fields and 
 orchards occasionally strolled across the lawn, and frequently when 
 mother would be picking currents or raspberries in the garden, wood- 
 cocks within a foot or two of her busy hands would go on sedately pok- 
 ing their long bills down through the clean straw for insects underneath 
 the mulch, their large dark eyes watching her with interest but with no 
 concern or fear. 
 
 With feeding stations in sheltered places in trees or hanging from 
 the trellises near the house, that supported grapevines and wisterias, 
 the place was a haven for the winter birds that afforded mother contin- 
 uing pleasure in their company until spring brought all the merry 
 migrants North again. 
 
 Her interest in public affairs was life-long. She joined her husband in 
 efforts to promote better education and better social conditions in the 
 community, particularly the community Sunday School, Farmers' Club, 
 and other group activities which included children. To this end, she 
 was a long-time contributor to farm family magazines. To assist in the 
 education of the neighborhood children, she started a library of chil- 
 dren's books in the local school, supplemented by books and magazines 
 loaned from the Morrow family library. 
 
 In her later years, she joined the D.A.R. when a chapter was formed 
 at Richmond, and although she could not participate as actively as she 
 had done in the Garden Club, her interest in the organization was keen, 
 and was continued by her three daughters who became active in local 
 and state organizations. 
 
 On the last day of her life, in March, she enjoyed the first blooms of

 the year from her garden, and welcomed the returning spring birds to 
 the feeder in the Maiden Blush apple tree outside her window. 
 
 RICHARD EDWIN MORROW 
 
 r. e. morrow was born Dec. 6, 1847, and died Nov. 30, 1943, in the house 
 his grandfather, Andrew Morrow, had built on land he bought from the 
 United States Government in Jackson Township, Preble County, Ohio. 
 in 1806. Andrew moved his family from North Carolina to his lonely 
 pioneer location in the wilderness and settled there in a blizzard on 
 March 25, 1807. The deed to the property was signed personally by 
 James Madison, then President of the United States. 
 
 Father received his elementary education in the rural schools of his 
 community, but later attended the National Normal University at 
 Lebanon, Ohio, receiving a B.S. degree in 1871 and a B.A. degree in 
 1872. For a few years, he was a school superintendent in Illinois, then 
 studied law in the office of T. B. Adams in Shelbyville, Ind., but finally 
 decided on farming as a vocation and returned to Ohio to assist his 
 father in the management of the home farm. 
 
 On Aug. 25, 1880, he married Martha Joanna Adams of Shelbyville, 
 Ind., the daughter of T. B. Adams. 
 
 Father was always interested in civic betterment. He supported every 
 practical cultural and educational movement which he felt advan- 
 tageous to the community. He was a lover of music and played the 
 violin. He organized a community male quartet, in which he sang a 
 minor part while directing the others. He was chorister of the non-de- 
 nominational Sunday School which convened in the one-room school 
 house on the Morrow farm. Our grandfather had donated the ground 
 for this school, with the proviso that the school should be available to 
 negro children, who at that time were not permitted to attend a school 
 in a neighboring district. This little red school house, known as the 
 ''Greenwood School" under the leadership of our father and mother, 
 became a true community center. Father conducted a "singing school" 
 there in order that the young people in the neighborhood might learn 
 to read music and join with others in choral singing. 
 
 Father was an active advocate of better rural education, and during 
 his tenure as President of the School Board, he convinced a majority of 
 the farmers that a township high school should be established. The Jack- 
 son Township High School was built, one of the first rural high schools 
 in Southwestern Ohio. 
 
 The community utilized his legal training by electing him justice of 
 the peace of the Township, for many years. He represented Preble 
 County in the Ohio legislature for one term. He was foreman of the jurv 
 that tried the National Cash Register anti-trust case in the Federal 
 Court in Cincinnati, a case that attracted much attention at the time.

ADAMS GENEALOGY 
 
 Father was a Republican all his life, was active in that party in the 
 county and state, but he was essentially independent in his political 
 thinking and supported Theodore Roosevelt in his famous "Bull Moose' 
 campaign. 
 
 Father was a progressive agriculturist and was one of the leaders in 
 forming one of the first Farmers' Clubs in his part of Ohio. At meetings 
 of the Club, speakers were brought in from other states to discuss better 
 methods of growing corn, wheat, clover, improving soil fertility, caring 
 for livestock and other pertinent subjects. Later he helped promote the 
 grange movement and for some time was master of the Whitewater 
 Valley Grange. 
 
 He had an unusual knowledge of plants, trees, nature, wild animals 
 and birds. Trees he readily identified by either bark or leaves, and he 
 recognized all the birds of Southwestern Ohio, both natives and mi- 
 grants, by their appearance, songs and patterns of flight. 
 
 For many years, he reported daily records of weather data and other 
 information to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 
 
 Astronomy was one of father's deepest interests, beginning with his 
 college studies. He subscribed to current astronomical periodicals and 
 other scientific journals. When he was well past 80 years of age, he made 
 a motor trip to Maine to observe a total eclipse of the sun, the second 
 that he had seen during his lifetime. To his neighbors, his knowledge of 
 celestial objects — planets, stars, comets, shooting stars — throughout the 
 seasons was always amazing. 
 
 History was another of his important interests. He had much the 
 largest library of anyone of our acquaintance in that part of the state, 
 subscribed to publications that kept him abreast of international affairs, 
 and enjoyed discussing what was going on in the science and politics of 
 the world. His observations were always pertinent and well-considered. 
 
 Father was a man of strict probity, unvarying honesty, and unbend- 
 ing adherence to the principles that governed his life. He was a re- 
 spected leader and counselor in his neighborhood. 
 
 ELIZA ADAMS JEMISON 
 
 Written by her Daughter, Mrs. Bertha J. Lee, Feb. 28, 1958 
 
 "lida's" children all agree that she was the most interesting person any 
 of them ever knew. Interested in her family, her church, a library, study 
 club, better schools, every movement for the betterment of the com- 
 munity, politics and world affairs. Mothering seven children in a new 
 country (Oklahoma) was not always easy, but a task she made them feel 
 was a blessed one at all times. 
 
 There wasn't always money for everything needed, but "Lida" always 
 managed to subscribe to a few good magazines and a daily paper be- 
 cause she felt they were necessary in the education of her children. A 
 
 142 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 
 
 few new good books each year were placed in her bookcases. 
 
 "Lida" joined the Methodist Church when a young girl at Laurel, 
 Ind., and became a charter member of the First Methodist Church at 
 Temple, Okla. During the forty-five years she lived at Temple, she 
 always put her church work first. She was very active in helping raise 
 funds for the first church building. Twenty years later, she was again 
 influential in replacing the old building with a larger modern building. 
 She helped organize the Missionary Society (now The Woman's Society 
 of Christian Service) and served as president for several years. 
 
 She was a member of the Royal Neighbors and for twenty years was 
 recorder of her camp at Temple. "Lida" also helped in establishing a 
 public library which for many years supplied the Temple community 
 with good reading material. The library was open two afternoons a week 
 and more often than was her turn, "Lida" served as librarian. 
 
 "Lida" taught school in Indiana before her marriage. While her hus- 
 band served as member of the school board at Temple, Okla., for many 
 years, she was able to exert a good influence for better teachers and 
 better schools. 
 
 Her firm faith and great courage, her fairness in dealing with others, 
 her unselfishness, her desire to help others, her willingness for others to 
 have the glory while she energetically worked at whatever she put her 
 hand to, made her a natural leader. 
 
 As an active member of the El Progresso Club, she found opportunity 
 to assist in many community improvements. She was president of the 
 club a number of years. 
 
 Although she was nearly eighty-eight at the time of her death, she 
 never had lost the joy of living and was very interested in and alert to 
 everyday happenings. Until three weeks before her death, she had 
 maintained her own home at Temple, which, because of her lovely 
 flowers and beautiful roses, was an especially attractive place in the 
 town. Her love of flowers was very characteristic of her. They seemed 
 to need little care except her loving touch to make them bloom forth 
 more beautiful than anywhere else. 
 
 Realizing she was no longer able to live alone, she moved to the home 
 of her daughter, Sadie Compton, at Chickasha, Okla. She had not com- 
 plained of feeling ill, and only a few hours before her death, she read 
 the evening paper. Quietly, "Lida" slipped away, closing a long and 
 beautiful life filled with all the joys, sorrows, accomplishments and 
 homage which come to a person of her high ideals.

 homa when it was opened for settlement. 
 
 It was a new country, and farming required hard work from daylight 
 until dark. There were no tractors at that time to make farming easier. 
 He always had good horses and treated them well. Besides his work 
 horses, he had good buggy and carriage horses, also a pony for the chil- 
 dren to ride. He always seemed happy in his work. When there were 
 crop failures, his faith held that the next year would he better, so he 
 worked harder, and it was better. 
 
 His truthfulness and honesty made him respected by all who knew 
 him. Truly, he was a man of integrity and courage. He was always laugh- 
 ing and joking, while his natural expression was a good-natured smile. 
 
 He was very interested in his children and their welfare. He was the 
 first elected director of the Temple School District and held that position 
 for a number of years, during which time a new brick school building 
 was built. He voted in every election, was proud of our country and 
 wanted to keep it strong. He often served on the jury, always with a 
 desire to be just and fair. 
 
 He was a strong man physically, never sick. His good humor probably 
 had a great deal to do with his good health. Just a few days before his 
 sixty-third birthday, he suffered a stroke and passed away three davs 
 later.
