Research Notes

the son, Smith Adams matches the 1870 KY and the 1900 "Deer Trail Precinct" basically across the road from Franktown Cemetery......................

In researching the data that is listed on the Bircher 1970 List there is a probable Eliza Adams.. The year of birth is off by just one year, which is probable due to the census records, etc. with their inaccurate INFO...::On the "1970 list" "Adams, Eliza dob:1830 dod:1907 "further info." "Wooden Cross"

This turned out to be the OTHER Eliza Adams, obit below..............

THIS OBIT BELONGS to the another Eliza ADAMS...born near the same year, and died the same year?????..

Eliza Stone-Adams lived in Franktown and this Eliza Adams lived in Deer Trail Precinct.
