Research Notes

"Thanks to Find-A-Grave, you can trace the family back to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Spencer Adams was one of 7 children of Rufus and Sarah Adams of Layton, Utah. Rufus Adams was a state senator. Rufus’ father, George Washington Adams, was born in Hancock County, Illinois in 1836. His father, Elias Adams Sr., was born in Vermont in 1792, fought in the War of 1812, was married twice, had 15 children and was the one who took the Adamses out West in the first place. His father, Job Adams, was in the Vermont militia during the Revolutionary War. His father, Joel, fought in the French & Indian War and then in the Revolutionary War for the Continentals. His father John was born in Connecticut in 1694, his father Jacob was born in Massachusetts in 1651 and his father Robert was born in England in 1602 and came to the Colonies in the 1620s or ‘30s. And yes, we can go back even further to the early 1500s, and kudos to whoever in the family traced the lineage back that far."[5]
