The family tree I made up for Kirby's birth announcement is here. I knew another layer on my side, but evened it out for that use.
Notes from Sherry Hicks Ferguson, related to me on the Adams side, who wrote "I ran across your site yesterday and was so excited. I am your cousin. My grandmother, Mary Jane Adams Hicks was sister to your grandfather, Lynn Adams. My father was Charles Durward Hicks." ..." I have the Adams family going back to 1750 and the Little line (Lynn's mother was a Little) going back to 1766."
Some of the notes below were from correspondence with Sherry (THANKS, Sherry!). I hope I noted them all.
Of Papaw's family (he's the Lynn Adams in the middle) Sherry wrote:
Yes, Earl was a brother. He had a twin sister named Pearl who died as a very young child (I think about age 18 months). The children were Essie Mae (died at age 1); John Quincy (died age 27); Robert Lacy; Lena Rivers; Lynn; Lillie Vallie; Annie Pearl; Archie Earl; Charm Dora; Ernest Deward; Mary Jane; Buster Brown (still born); Leila Vera; infant (still born)."Texanna was actually born in Butler County Alabama. Her next sibling, brother Edward Walter Little, was the second of the family to be born in Texas December 22, 1870. Texanna's father was born in Butler County, Alabama and her mother was born in Choctaw County, Mississippi. However, Texanna's parents were married in Trinity County, Texas. Guess they left then returned. There is a Adams-Little Cemetery in Houston County." Sherry 10/06The first 10 children were born in Houston County, Texas; Mary Jane was born in Itasca County, Texas; Buster Brown was born in Johnson County, Texas and the last child, who died as an infant, was born in Houston County.
James Fields Adams (father to Lynn) was born in Macon, Mitchell county, Georgia. Archie Lafayette Adams (father to James Fields Adams) was born in Newberry County, South Carolina as was his father, grandfather and great grandfather.
