Eliza Adams was born on Oct. 5, 1884 to Elizabeth (Flaugher) Adams.[1] Her death record states that she was also the daughter of Elizabeth Flaugher Adams' husband, Jesse Adams, but since he died May 17, 1877, that would not be possible.[2] He is buried at the Deal Hill Cemetery in Carter County, Kentucky.[3]
