Biography

This biography was auto-generated by a GEDCOM import. Adams-19141 was created by Bill Simpkins through the import of Simpkins Family Tree.ged on Feb 17, 2015. Elisha Adams was born in 1802 in Rowan County, North Carolina, to William and Eleanor Simpson Adams. The family was in Calloway County, Kentucky, by 1830. From the 1830 Census, it would appear Elisha, about 28 years old, was married and had 3 children. He bought 160 acres of land in February of 1831. On 10 August 1837 he married Susannah Hall, daughter of Isaac Hall. Isaac was enumerated on the top of the same page of the 1830 census as Elisha, so they were likely neighbors.
