General Notes: Husband - John Adams


He was a native of Ireland, who came to America when eighteen years old. He first located in Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he spent several years as a farm hand. Removing to Guernsey County, Ohio, he invested his savings in land, and prepared a rude home in the wilderness. He returned to Washington County, and three months later brought his bride to the pioneer cabin. Together the young couple began to build their home. They passed the remainder of their days on the old farm, and their youngest son, William P., later resided there. In religion, they were Covenanters of the Old School, and the religious training of the family was that strict type, characteristic of the denomination.
