Adams-9649 and Adams-3098 appear to represent the same person because: Martha Adams, daughter of John Adams and Eleanor Powell Adams of Halifax, Virginia, was the same person on both profiles Adams-9649 and Adams-3098. Her parents were documented in the book Tidewater Families of the New World & Their Westward Migrations: Case Studies in Southern States Research by Chatham and Clifford as noted in the source listed in profile Adams-3098. Some of the early Halifax, VA, records show "Dixon" but most spell the surname "Dickson." SAME person and SAME family. Please Merge, for now she is listed as a SISTER to HERSELF!
