Adams/Forester Family Tree

Updated August 6, 2001

About Our Family Research


Hello to you all..Stacy here. Have been corresponding with Grace and Suzanne, you will see the letters I have posted..I have used this site for creating the Adams/ Forester side of the family because it was an easier program to use. please take a look at the almost finished Tree..covering 7 generations coolllll..The rest of what you will be reading is posted letters, read them later. Go straight down to the bottom of this page where is says Stacy's Family Tree and click on that. Remember you will have to fool with it a moment, to scroll up/down left/right as the tree is seven generations.You are all in this tree however it will just show my line(stacy) so once you go to the family tree it will have //instuctions for viewing Yourselves, but everyone is in this tree...just read the instuctions for help.okay i will make it easy..when you go to my tree, right click William Adams(he's the first or furthest back in the family)and select Primary indivdual, this will show all of the children that came after him(decendents)
Read This bit below Later.....
Hello Nancy and Stacy,

Suz told me about you, and I checked out your Post-its. If the
"Relationship Calculator" in my FTM program is to be believed, we are
4th Cousins. Suz and I are shirt-tail cousins: her cousins are my
cousins, but Suz and I are not related. I love her anyway. :-)

My g/g/grandfather was Abner DeWitt Adams, older son of William
Alexander Adams, Sr. Your g/g/grandfather was his (much) younger
brother, William (Willie) Alexander Adams, Jr. His daughter, Lula
Mae [by his first wife, Margaret/Maggie Adcock], was your
g/grandmother. I pretty much have your Adams/Adcock side of the
family covered from William Sr. on down. In fact, I have a boatload
of information on them. William Sr's parents, however, are a real
mystery to me.

Your dad and I have corresponded a little (that man sure stays *gone*
a lot!), but not enough to really nail anything down. Have heard
from your Uncle Charles once--Yay! What a bunch of
non-communicators! Is it a guy thing?

Anyway, I live in VA, and work as a wind tunnel operator at NASA
Langley Research Center in Hampton. I have 2 children, one 29 and
one 16 (2 husbands, one kid each!).

Hope to hear from you soon,
your

Hi Stacy,

Sorry. Should have sent this the first time. My "real" address:

ggleason@widomaker.com

I thought I had a picture of Lula, but I don't. I have photos of many
of the rest of the family. A few of the photos are online now. Will
put you and Nancy on the "invite" list in just a minute.

William Adams [our g/g/g/grandfather]was born in VA about 1827
married Jeanette Kuykendall was born in MO sometime around 1826 [she
fibbed about her age.] You will find the Kuykendall family [Peter
and Ruth Wyatt] on familysearch.org. Some of it is correct, some of
it is *NOT* correct.

They had: Abner DeWitt b. 10 Mar 1850 [my g/g/grandfather]
Celah V. [Dora/Celie] b. 02 Nov 1853
Salah E. [Sally] b. about 1854
Sonora Agatha? [Nora] b. 23 Jul 1858
Annie Druzilla b. 21 Dec 1859
William A.Jr.[Willie] b. 07 Jan 1868 [your
g/g/grandfather]

They probably would have had some more, but William was off fighting
in the Civil War for 4 years or so, and he died young--maybe about
1871. We aren't sure when, and we don't know exactly where he's
buried except "on his land" in Goliad County. One of the cousins has
found a paper he signed in 1871, so he was alive then.

Willie married Margaret/Maggie Adcock [I have info on her family] and
had Lula Mae, Addie, and William. Maggie died after having William,
and he died a couple of months later. Willie then married Mary Jacob
"Japie" Wolfe [and I know a bit about her family, too.] and had 8
more kids.

We have not been able to find William Alexander Adams' parents.
Sooner or later, we hope to. :-)

TTYL,
grace
