Nancy Adams

• Father: Unknown Adams
• Mother: Unknown (?)

• Nancy Adams was born say 1800.
• She married William Honell(s) on 8 September 1827 in Marengo County, Alabama.
• On 19 November 1831 in Marengo County, Alabama, David Hogan made a deed of gift to the heirs of William Hunnells deceased, viz: Sarah Jane Hunnells, William Thomas and Kezia H. Honnell, gift of a slave I purchased of William Hunnell in his lifetime. (Supposition here, requiring further research, is that Nancy Adams Honell(s) named her daughter Keziah for her sister Keziah, who was David Hogan's wife.)
• She married Clinton Allen on 14 November 1836 in Marengo County, Alabama, with Thomas S. Abertnathy, MG, officiating.
• Research Note: It remains to be verified whether Keziah Adams, Nancy Adams, Benjamin Adams, James H. Adams and Felix Grundy Adams are children of Howell Collier Adams and Nancy Rayburn. Research is ongoing. It may be significant that Howell Collier Adams' sister (who first married Nancy Rayburn's brother Thomas) Rebecca Adams Rayburn Gainer ended up in Monroe County, Mississippi, very near to the Alabama counties where the Adams siblings settled.
• Research Note: Piecing together this generation of the Adams family is a work in progress. Connecting the Adams siblings Keziah, Nancy, Benjamin, James and Felix has involved a a close examination of others' family history records, family lore, census proximities, connections indicated by deeds, &c. A cooperative effort by some descendants of these likely siblings is under way, intent upon identifying new solid evidence of their relationships and discovering their Tennessee origins, looking particularly at Sevier County. We invite all with an interest in these individuals and their descendants to share information and opinions -- Always delighted to hear from cousins!
