Loren,
Thanks for your interest and reply. This is my direct family line and we have it documented fairly well.
John Baum is a mis-trancription of John Bavin (easy to see how that can happen with the old handwritting).
John Bavin Adams is my gr-grandfather and he came to the USA first and then was followed by his brother, Frederick who, according to our family history died not long after arriving in the USA. According to what we know,he became ill and died in Quincy, IL. I doubt that he had much money so was probably given an pauper's burial. We just don't know for sure.
Thanks again,
Rebecca
