The failure of memory to respond to such an unreasonable demand, and the reflection Unit, even if once learned, it would be a hopeless tusk to carry family data in one's head, when nephews are rapidly multiplying, inspired in me the joyful thought of printing our family record on a bit of card board, which could be carried around in the vest pocket and A The Adama Family. studied liko th

History: This surname was borne by two early presidents of the US, father and son. They were descended from Henry Adams, who settled in Braintree, MA, in 1635/6, from Barton St. David, Somerset, England. The younger of them, John Quincy Adams (1767–1848) derived his middle name from his maternal grandmother's surname (see Quincy ). — Another important New England family, established mainly in NH, is descended from William Adams, who emigrated from Shropshire, England, to Dedham, MA, in 1628. James Hopkins Adams (1812–61), governor of SC, was unconnected with either of these families, his ancestry being Welsh; his forebears entered North America through PA.
When Albert Adams was born on 7 June 1882, in East Lynn, Wayne, West Virginia, United States, his father, Goodwin A Adams, was 23 and his mother, Paulina Hobbs, was 22. He married Columbia "Birdie" Thomas on 27 August 1905, in Wayne, West Virginia, United States. They were the parents of at least 5 sons and 6 daughters. He lived in Stonewall District, Wayne, West Virginia, United States in 1940 and Wayne, West Virginia, United States in 1940. He died on 14 April 1942, in Huntington, Cabell, West Virginia, United States, at the age of 59, and was buried in Asbury Cemetery, Wayne, Wayne, West Virginia, United States.
